hehehe, amusing video.

And yes, I can easily do it as well, but it doesn't look sexy :(. It looks more like an "old man's" squad, haha

I love how the professor does the "penny" test under the heel. He does it to western squat even if it is obvious there is 5+ inch gap. Oh well, gotta do the scientific method, lol

haha I think the points they make are true...it is sturdier and causes less fatigue. The ball of my feet go numb pretty quickly when I'm doing a western squat.

That's funny because I saw people doing that all the time in Pakistan but I can't do it. I'm an American born Pakistani. No matter how hard I try I can't get my feet completely flat.

Too much running and not enough STRETCHING = tight hams, tight ankles = can't squat.

You would be suprised at the number of adults and kids that can't squat properly with flat feet that can go all the way down.
