Hello community!
I have been meaning to start doing barbell squats for a while now (have never done them before), however, I am not able to discern whether or not my form is good, or even whether or not my mobility is inadequate for a squat. I have read some tutorials on the squat, but still I am not sure if the way I am executing the movement is fine or if it will damage me in the long term.
So, how am I doing squats? Here is a video:
Apart from what you see here I have to note that I am feeling discomfort at the bottom position of the squat in my inner thighs, I cannot hold that position for very long. However, surprisingly(?) this is the position I feel comfortable with (regarding my feet position,width,etc.) to execute a squat. Furthermore, I have to consciously and attentively try to keep my knees pushed out because they tend to cave in. I think this is due to the excessive outward rotation of my feet and lack of dorsiflexion and not what they call knee vulgas.
What are your thoughts on this? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
