🏋🏼Squat smarter, not deeper 👇🏼
When you squat, your knee position matters more than you think…
✅Aim for this:
Keep your knees tracking in line with your middle toes as you bend.
❌Avoid this:
Letting your knees collapse inward — this puts unnecessary stress on the knee joint.
🤔But here’s the thing…
Not everyone’s squat should look the same.
Your hip anatomy plays a huge role in how you move:
👉🏼Some hip sockets face more forward
👉🏼Others face more outward or slightly backward
This affects how comfortable your squat stance feels — and that’s completely normal.
⬇️Deep squats aren’t actually good for you.
For some people (especially those with deeper hip sockets), going below parallel can:
❌Increase risk of hip impingement
❌Cause compensation (like rounding your lower back or tucking your pelvis)
💡Top tip: Listen to your body
If you’re new to squats, a bit of discomfort is normal as your body adapts.
But 🚨
If you’ve been squatting for a while and feel pain in your:
Groin
Hip
Buttock
…it could be a sign your hips are under too much stress.
✨There’s no one-size-fits-all squat — move in a way that works for your body.
