No Adidas, one heel only, what a poser.
The stand makes the difference

It’s not a proper Slav Squat if both your heels aren’t on the ground.
ThunderComplex@lemmy.today 2 months ago
I never understood how heels on ground squatting is possible I always just fall over trying.

It requires a certain amount of flexibility. Some are born with it, others have to work for it.
ThunderComplex@lemmy.today 2 months ago
Work for it? Sorry but that sounds like work, and I only do things I’m instantly good at or I don’t do them at all.

Maybe it’s Maybelline
MotoAsh@lemmy.world 2 months ago
IMO it’s more about balance than flexibility. My lower legs don’t go past maybe 25-30 degrees off straight up to get 80% of the way down. If I put your arms forward, I can all the way to my ass almost touching my heels without going past maybe 35 degrees.

It can be trained. Your calves are probably too tight.
Source, am person who can squat with heels on the ground, couldn’t do it my whole life until 6 months ago.
TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
I tried training it once and i didn’t see any difference after about 3 months so I stopped. I really don’t care enough to try again.

If you’re falling over backward, your calves might be tight! Your ankles have to flex far enough for your feet to sit back far enough to be under your center of gravity.
ThunderComplex@lemmy.today 2 months ago
Yeah that’s exactly it. If I squat such that my feet are flat then my center of gravity is waaay behind me. Luckily this has never impacted me in my day to day life.

I have always been able to slav squat with ease, but never really been flexible enough to touch my toes. At one point in my life, I was able to do the splits but still not able to touch my toes.
Our bodies are all just different and flexible or not in different ways.
MotoAsh@lemmy.world 2 months ago
A weighless squat is just a basic balance thing. People are just imagining it’s more difficult than it is because they don’t move around enough.
OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Once you get it you’ll find it’s the best way to stretch your back, but it takes a while. Kneesovertoesguy has a few good videos about getting to that point. I learned to do it by watching construction workers on break in China

My ankle flexibility makes it impossible for me. So my career path is fixed I guess.

Hey this is way more comfy my my usual Putin stance. As I age it hurts more but the squat one feels fine.
ThrowawayPermanente@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Wait a minute, so Trump is their guy and Putin is our guy? Does this mean China won the cold war?

Heels on ground, comrade found. Heels in sky, WESTERN SPY!
