If you want to get the most out of a squat or try different variations of a squat, you better work on improving your squat depth.
The biggest limiting factor of a deep squat is ankle mobility among other factors. Check how far your knee can travel past your toes using this simple test to see if you need more mobility work in the ankles!

If thereās one word by which I can describe Varun, itās DEDICATION!
In the 5 -6 months that we trained together (in Chandigarh, Mumbai and Arunachal Pradesh) he showed up every single day (twice a day on some days) with the same commitment. This in spite of dealing with injuries and testing positive for covid during the journey.
The goal was to make him leaner, improve mobility and get him to move fluidly on all fours, without losing too much strength and muscle.
Did we achieve it? Iād like to invite you guys to watch #Bhediya if you havenāt already, to find out šŗ š

We are told to stretch the āoverworked hip flexorsā very often which is a good idea but itās just half the picture. Not only do the hip flexors get tight, they also get weak!
And when the hip flexors are tight, short and weak, the abdominals and gluteus struggle to do their job leading to the lower back taking all the stress.
Here are three exercises that you can do just before your next leg or core workout. They will not only help activate the hip flexors but also strengthen them šš»

Hereās how our debut Hyrox Pro race went down!
Some mistakes in strategy and a faulty sled cost us time. Lessons were definitely learnt.
I wasnāt sure if I was going to do this race again but I didnāt run this anywhere close to potential so Iām coming back!
@austin.avs weāre doing sub 70 next time šš»
Super fun race!
Was feeling pukish by the time I reached Run 3 and was holding in my puke till the end.
@ninja.dev
Couldnāt have done this without you š«
Faster and stronger the next time.

Quadrupedal training isnāt āextremeā, itās what your body was built for.
Hereās why you should consider it:
ā¢ Builds reflexive core strength (not just abs, real stability)
ā¢ Improves shoulder + hip integration
ā¢ Enhances coordination and contralateral movement (hello, better running mechanics)
ā¢ Reduces injury risk by strengthening connective tissue
ā¢ Increases mobility and strength at the same time
ā¢ Transfers directly to sprinting, agility, and ground force production
Even once a week of QMT, can do wonders to your overall performance šŖš»
DM @sweatyninjas to get in on the Delhi Animal Flow L1 workshop happening this 18th, 19th April!
