Problems squatting deep? Look downstairs to the calves. Lack of proper ankle flexibility will block proper depth in squatting and predispose the joint to injury. Use a box or curb and get stretching! Explore how a straight vs. bent knee changes the stretch as this will shift emphasis from the gastrocnemius in the case of the straight leg to the soleus in the bent position.
