Today something great happened, we now have photographs of the perfect deep squat. Some ask, "why do you squat past the point of parallel?" , and "it's not good to go so deep while performing a squat. Well, if you attend an AOS class, the instructor always discuss the importance of gaining full range of motion for the entire body. The deep squat is a huge part of AOS, and it is one of the most important movement exercises. Now, if you are one that does not believe in performing the deep squat, and you don't believe we should, then here is my argument.
In the photograph above we have the example of the deep squat. This is performed to perfection by a 13 month child that has no idea he is doing a "deep squat". Thank you little one. We all no matter who we are have the ability to do this . It just so happens that over time we lose the ability to do so. Everyday, I see individuals increase their mobility by performing exercises on the bandit loops, using kettlebells, and other tools to assist them in getting into this position. We all have this full body movement cability, yet over time we lose because of inactivity. Doing and peforming different movements in AOS can and will increase mobility and flexibility. You just have to be willing to change and improve. Wow! what an incredible pictures.
Thanks to L&L
