The stand makes the difference

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.
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.
-
I never understood how heels on ground squatting is possible I always just fall over trying.
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.

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.

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.

Seriously... bunch of people grossly out of shape, I guess. Even the most basic, normal exercise squat gets you like 90% of the way there...

It requires a certain amount of flexibility. Some are born with it, others have to work for it.
wrote last edited by [email protected]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 my arms forward, I can all the way to my ass almost touching my heels without going past maybe 35 degrees.

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.
Easiest way to start out is to put your arms straight out in front of you and let your legs go wide. Unless you have one hell of a beer gut or weak twigs for legs (or actual health issues), it should become pretty easy with just a few tries.

Wait a minute, so Trump is their guy and Putin is our guy? Does this mean China won the cold war?
