Struggling with squat depth? It’s easier to figure out than you think! Inhaling through your nose is related to your mobility. You can’t inhale past your mobility. This gives you instant feedback—when your inhale stops, your mobility ends!
Next time you squat, try this: Inhale as you descend, and stop when your breath does. That’s your official squat bottom position (i.e. your true mobility). If you squat past that point, you might start compensating with other parts of your body, potentially causing discomfort or issues elsewhere.
