Staggered Stance Squatting

Here's a great way to change things up.

Normal squats require symmetrical stances. But sometimes, that stance just isn't optimal for the body. So we train in a slightly asymmetrical stance over and over and over again.

Then we get hurt. We have setbacks. We want to fix our mobility issues.

You can even get on top of these problems, but have trouble transitioning back into normal squats. I've seen that a lot with my particular types of lifting students.

One way to bypass this is to say, "Okay, I'm going to offset my stance ON PURPOSE." Now it's okay. And it can still work really well. The novelty alone is good for you.

Let's walk through this variation and how to do it. Ankle mobility and a little bit of body twisting are the keys here.
