@faithfulsteward7 First, work on your ankle dorsiflexion. Do all the ankle drills you see on YouTube channels Squat University and RP Strength.
Squat wedges, weightlifting shoes or Reebok Nanos can help give you a little more ankle range of motion.
But let's talk about squatting technique...
@nedlm10 Here is my 2 cents:
introduce mobility exercises everyday- I follow ec_fit on YouTube.
Drink minimum 2 liters of water plus an electrolyte drink. I like nuun.
Take magnesium vitamins. I also like the creatine suggestion. 3-5 MG a day.
Protein intake is .8 X your lean body mass=...
@2kindsofsorrow We've definitely lost sight of what a healthy, low bodfat is in the US. I'm same ht as you, 160lbs but know that I feel much better at 140 and that's what I'm shooting for.
Your opinion is what matters most.
