This is great info thank you. But I get frustrated because I cannot find any information about how to squat with long femurs AND long torsos but short lower legs (tibas)! I can't be the only person out there with this anatomy. I have both a very long torso plus long femurs, I find myself basically folding in half with low bar squats. Squat shoes only help slightly. High bar squats are surprisingly a little less ugly. I tried widening my stance but my hip anatomy seems to block me from going lower. I think I may have celtic hips (irish+eastern European decent). Unweighted or light squats i can squat all the way to the floor but there is considerable butt wink. Any advice for my ugliest of ugly squat is appreciated!

If the knees don't move forward enough, you don't get as much stress on your quads and may get extra stress on your back. If they move forward too much, you will hammer your quads, but may hurt your knees. Always keep some pressure on your heels (even if you use small heel lift), don't let the knees go so far forward that you get knee pain during or after training and know why you are squatting in the first place (e.g. bigger quads vs. winning a powerlifting competition) and let that influence how you squat - see my post: The Best Way to Squat: http://www.andrewheming.com/2015/11/the-best-way-to-squat.html for more details.

I just watched an amazing video from Steffi Cohen about how to choose sumo vs conventional deadlift depending on your body proportions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQZ-RwYVLlc At round about 10:00 she explains how to calculate torso length, and provides a chart telling you whether you have a long, average, or short torso, which equates to short, average, or long legs. I have long legs, and my low bar back squat takes me close to horizontal. Thanks to your article, I'm going to give myself a break and start trying out the variations you recommend.David McCarthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17116085827623231897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2616594468926025606.post-35472018693884171412018-04-06T08:40:12.884-07:002018-04-06T08:40:12.884-07:00You are most welcome.
