Hey Everyone, first post here! This seems like a great community and I'm glad I found it.
I've been watching a lot of videos on the technique behind the big compound movements in an effort to better educate myself, and one of the things I've realized is that I don't think I'm getting down low enough in my squats. I'm hitting parallel, but I don't think I'm getting anything below that.
I'm keeping the weight manageable while I practice my form, but it feels like I just don't have the flexibility in the hips and ankles to really get down in there.
Are there any specific stretches or exercises I can do to help improve that flexibility?
