Why can asians squat indefinitely with their heels flat on the ground while Whites/Europeans can only do a stationary squat by balancing on our midfoot?
I tried to do the one on the right, I am physiologically unable to to do it.

They can also do the seiza very easily which is sitting and balancing directly on your knees, because of years of training and adaptation.
Try and go for 1h of seiza, your knees will be bust, also its the ankle mobility/achilles' heel stiffness issue.
Even this granny is more fit based on her knee health than most of fit.
they have really short femurs
this
I squat like this all the time, I am 6'4 with Scottish/swedish ancestry so doesn't apply. I was unaware other whites struggled with this. It's almost my default resting position when I'm outdoors.
maybe I should be a spy?
>I squat like this all the time
for what purpose?
This is stupid race pseudoscience (not even pseudo correct) and Asians don't have "short femurs". Besides, it wouldn't be about "short femurs" but rather the ratio of femur length to the lengths of lower legs, which is (mostly) determined by the golden ratio and is consistent across races. I would laugh at you for not understanding this but I think you guys are being genuine, which makes me pity you, and also femur length has nothing to do with deep squatting so this is a moot point. having long femurs doesn't affect being able to deep squat--- it just means you have to lean your torso forward over your knees to balance, which often means butt wink or rounding lower back. Deep squatting has more to do with ankle mobility, and like all mobility it comes from lots of practice. In asian cultures where there is a lot more squatting like when you poop, they're bound to have better mobility. you can improve ankle mobility through soleus stretches
I'm a white guy who is 5'8 and I can deep squat fine. Whenever I do squats, I do them ass to grass and literally sit down on my heels and hold it there for a few seconds at the bottom of every rep
Okay buddy explain this
I replied to it here

Have absolutely no effect when it comes to squatting?
Read the whole thing. Problem with some people is they believe in something and look for evidence to proof it.
anthropologists and forensic specialists can tell someone's race by their skeleton
They literally can't because race doesn't exist
asian people legitimately have shorter legs on average, its well documented, like anything you cannot judge an individual by the group, but to say that it has no effect on particular movments is simply incorrect and ignorant of reality
Are you denying there is a massive racist conspiracy to try to reaffirm the white power system by inventing numbers to make it appear that Asians have proportionally smaller femurs to appeal to the widely-held belief of long-femur superiority?
nobody invented shit, you can say that the sample sizes were too small to make general assumptions, but if you've ever been to an asian country you'll know its obviously true, I should also mention its true of europeans and asians vs africans, who have longer limbs (on average)
most popular hypothesis is that europeans and asians are adapted to colder climates , where longer limbs are inferior due to heat loss and higher risk of frostbite, this is seen in all manor of arctic animals, which has shorter limbs/ears/tails for the same reason.
muh racism is just a shitty excuse not to think and avoid talking about things you dont like.
Shut up, babydick Asian
you unironically sound like a crying chinese spy getting all butthurt over factual differences in racial anatomy. Hey whadaya know, that's how we can tell the difference between races
>have shorter legs on average
They have shorter everything on average, the same way black people have longer everything on average, you dumb twat.
they have shorter limbs in relation to their body size, europeans also have this in contrast to africans.
You're right but the difference is not that big. Most people in the west don't live rural lifestyles and are therefore sedentary and sit in chairs all the time so they don't develop ankle mobility. East Asians work on the floor a lot (for better or for worse I suppose), like my mom used to peel pecans squatted on the floor rather than using a table just out of habit.
>rural lifestyles
As someone who lives a genuine "rural lifestyle" in the US I find squatting fricking moronic. Also Japan is like the most urban place I've ever fricking seen kek even worse the western Europe.
I'm 6'5 and can do it, I used to stretch a lot for sports
Manlet enraged
You're literally moronic. Asians have short femurs, short legs and longer torsos relative to total height.
And it isn't pseudo science when they can tell your race by just taking bone measurements and nothing else.
There's a picture attached to that post that shows you the difference between white and Asian hips in case you need a visual reference to understand this simple concept.
Hey stop being reasonable.
short legs, long torsos and you are a moron
>I'm 5'8
Disregarded post in its entirety
>This is stupid race pseudoscience
>determined by the golden ratio
moron calls out people for pseudoscience while spewing even more pseudoscience.

cool bro, let me read your argument
> In asian cultures where there is a lot more squatting like when you poop, they're bound to have better mobility. you can improve ankle mobility through soleus stretches
oh so asian squat mobility is socially constructed

They do have slightly shorter femurs, and hip socket placement might also be a factor.
This is just anecdotal, but every now an again an untrained DYEL asian joins my olympic lifting club, and they can always deep squat with an upright back. These people have otherwise terrible mobility and stability in the squat position.
I'm white and I have top tier mobility, but the only way I could get into a squat deep enough for my ass to literally touch the ground would be to do a really heavy overhead squat and let that flex my knees.
You're just fat. I only had a bit of trouble with squatting deep when I was over 300 lbs at 6'1.
Imagine not being able to do a deep knee bend, what the frick?
t. actual ethnic German
Ffs mate
I’m 5’11 and 198 pounds. My squat mobility is limited by my hamstrings pressing against my calves.
If I go narrow I have that issue. I just flare out my feet and hips and it's fine
>t.fatty at 5'11 220lbs
Who knows it could be my half asian genes playing a role.....
There’s no point going into a worse squat position just to get an extra inch of depth. Just accept your morphological limits.
You are borderline obese unless you are pure muscle
>untrained DYEL asian joins my olympic lifting club, and they can always deep squat with an upright back
i never knew a gym asian that didn't love ass to grass
this is not adjusted for height therefore the study is non-consequential
You are immobile. I'm 6'3" white, German/Irish/Polish with long femurs and I can properly squat for a long time.
Wouldn't Mexicans be squat champions if that were true?
just keep doing it and your ankle flexibility will improve
Just train yourself to do it, took me about 2 months. Plenty of guides or videos on the internet. Has nothing to do with body shape, we can all do this as kids and lose the ability as we grow older because sitting fricks your shit up.
but why?
Asians tend to do it throughout their lifetime. I tend to squat randomly when talking to people as a sort of 'resting pose' and my Chinese mate joins me without thinking. It's in their customs to smoke like that too, look at Koreans for example.
calling bullshit
Originating in India, the squat made its way to China, where Asians figured that it was the ideal way to eat rice and be ready to defecate at any given time.
Youre telling me you’ve never seen this shit but in a chefs apron at the side door of a Chinese place? Touch asphalt country boy
This. Drive through any city and within 2 minutes you will see a smoking, squatting Chinaman. Death, taxes and Chinamen.
I unironically like diversity just not B***ks. wish I could visit a Chinatown rn
what’s wrong with blocks
to be clear the part i'm calling bs on is that it's more comfortable than standing.
Not entirely wrong.
Picrel is a classic japanese bathroom. They shit and piss while squatting. Like humans used to.
We should unironically still use squat toilets.
Using chairs just made it easier for society to get fat since shitting requires zero physical ability here.
If you have to squat, it means you can't get as outrageously fat and inflexible as out fatties do
too late for me. youll never take my shit chair away. for a lot of americans thats where they take their work breaks.
I always wonder how fatsos use the airplane bathroom. I’m like 205 at 5’11 and I have to stand up and turn my body at an angle to wipe. There literally isn’t enough room to fit my hand back there when I’m sitting.
They're pretty damn rare these days
Also taking a shit with even a quarter chub will mean you'll piss on the back of your pants (I've done it)
My dick won't fit in the toilet if I shit with a chub. How is this any different?
>They're pretty damn rare these days
in Japan? probably
but not in rural China and South East Asia
and we all know how the situation in India is
You need both hands to stabilize your squat and lean, no hand to point your dick down with

Tell us something interesting about your time in Korea then.
He did. Obviously.
>japs literally shit and piss themselves over these
We call it Turkish toilet. Quite comfy, but then again, I'm not fat and as a slav I can squat. Also it's the best position for taking a dump, because in squat position, your pipes straighten up and are unobstructed. Ironically "science" discovered this, and they started selling toilet stools, to lift your legs when sitting on a modern toilet.
I mean the choice between being able to do something or not being able to do something isn't hard
Aside from comfortably shitting in the streets, being able to easily get low and back-up is useful for many day-to-day tasks. It's a basic movement that is better to have than to not have.
kids have completely different bone structure you dumb homosexual
It took me about a month of dedicated stretching at a gym to be able to squat properly.
Its pretty comfortable.
I used to be able to do it when I was younger but I find my ankles and hips tense up now even with consistent stretching. I did the same thing when I was younger - just started squatting every time I was looking at a lower shelf, and then moving around in the squat to loosen up.
It's because you're fat and unhealthy.
Europeans do this
Its only Anglos who can't
This, mostly because Europeans don’t have proper toilets.
no you don't
eastern europeans, not all europeans. Slavs, tbh.
I've always been able to go heels down. I'm not even particularly flexible, just don't be fat.
I'm white and i started to be able to do it just by squatting and deadlifting.
I can do the one on the right and have been able to since I was a child. I am German/Hungarian. I also squat ATG at the gym
>ATG
Proof
All the people ITT lmao. It’s literally because they shit in holes in the ground since childhood and have to squat like that to use the bathroom. You could do it too if you did it and maintained your flexibility since you were a kid
ive never shit in a hole and I can do it
I don’t have to squat down to shot in a hole. Just open my legs, sumo style, and bombs away.
Taking a dump without a seat doesn't even require squats. The problem is sitting down combined with a sedentary lifestyle, which causes already out-of-shape fricks to lose all flexibility they have
Is it cos they don't have seated toilets?
Sitting down to shit was a mistake we made in the west.
Fatties shouldn't be able to shit comfortably sat on a chair.
When you're working on something low to the ground, its far easier and more comfortable to squat down and do it rather than kneel down or lie down, and gives you better freedom of motion.
I also used to get a sore back some nights when sleeping due to tight lower back muscles. Training to squat stretched them out so indirectly resolved that issue. Its a great way to start training ankle flexibility which was a problem for some of my lifts (also a good injury prevention meausre). You just squat down and let gravity work, no effort required. It really is the best way to stretch.
Plus you get to mog fats/old people who couldn't dream of doing such a thing when you do it in front of them.
Working on something on the ground is literally the only time I'd ever do this. Just stand the frick up or sit down kek. It is like a peasant's pose imho
it's far more comfortable to peasant pose when doing wheel cleaning instead of sitting butt on the floor. if you work in any kind of detailing or mechanic work, you need to peasant pose.
I can agree that some particular jobs may be useful this way- like weeding a garden maybe, but as a leisure pose it is fricking moronic imho.
It is amazing the types of things people take pride in.
Because whites are FAT! FAT TUBBY LITTLE FAT FRICKS! YOU CAN'T EVEN TIE YOUR SHOES! LOSE WEIGHT homosexual!
lmao
a lot of it has to do with the "version" of your hips, which refers to the angle at which your femur ball inserts into your hip socket. Unlike muscle/tendon flexibility or ankle dorsiflexion which can be improved, this is a limit of bone-against-bone and you have to learn the right leg position in order to allow a deep squat for your particular versioning. If you are retroverted, you must have your thighs splayed out to the more to the sides in order to get into a deep squat, and if you are anteverted, you must have your legs pretty much pointing straight in front of you. This is an issue because you have a lot of people around the internet advising everyone about how to do a "correct" squat and they often recommend a single fixed leg/foot position, which really doesn't work for everyone, and then you have people who can't get into a deep squat the way the "expert" said to and think it's just not in their anatomy to be able to do it. Back flexibility is really not going to factor into deep squatting that much... in fact you are not really supposed to be rounding/flexing your back in that kind of position, it's supposed to be pretty much straight
Flexibility, if you force yourself to squat with your heels on the ground (hold onto something for support but try to rely on it as less as you can) you'll achieve it in some weeks. It's not that hard
I can squat like this and am 100% Northern European
I would like to add that it disturbs me that there are IST bros that cannot do this? How can you not do it? what happens as you try?
I have to round my back a shit load and lean really far forward or I fall backwards
does it have to do with your center of mass maybe then? are you really top heavy? I just dont understand what about a persons physique could make this impossible or even challenging it just feels so natural to me. I rest like this all the time in between sets
I look like the guy on the left when I do it. I have some kyphosis (working on it) so my upper back can't straighten out the way it needs to when you squat down like that, so my centre of gravity is too far back so I either fall backwards or have to lean really far forward like this.
OP what is this video? Can you link it?
I found it for you:
Surprise, the one fit guy at 4:15 is able to do it easily while all the uncoordinated out of shape people cant.
yeah this dipshit is also trying to do this in selvedge denim, the least flexible pant you could possibly pick
>Narrow stance
>Toes pointed forward
Unless you have god tier dorsiflexion this would never work.
The guy on the left has his legs straight in front of him.
The guy on the right is rotating his legs outwards.
The real answer is that a lot of westerners sit too much and have shit hip rotation, which limits squat depth.
Are you short? As in height?
If you have large femurs and impaired ankle flexibility, when you try to squat with your heels on the ground the first thing that will happen is that you will STOP when your thighs reach a parallel with the ground.
If you go further and keep your back straight you will fall backwards and how do you prevent that? You shifting your center of gravity forwards by throwing your torso between your legs. Problem? Your ankle isn't flexible which is gonna make that painful and thus your body automatically takes your heels off the ground, shifting your weight further forward but on your toes.
I can do picrel much, much, much easier and without pain than a heel to ground squat.
I am working on my ankle flexibility, though.
I'm 6'1 but thanks for the insight
I was expecting the worst before enlarging your picture
literally an indefinite amount of time. I can do it with my feet wide or all the way together touching or even slightly pointed inward. still don't know how homosexuals cant do this
>A mutt? I'm not a mutt. The seven different ethnicities I'm composed of are all European
that's how most people look like in every single country you dumbass

>he actually has a race card to prove his race on IST
HOLY
>giving your DNA to israelites
NGMI
that says 38%
Funnily enough a lot of his has to do with your back mobility. If you have a stiff thoracic spine your back can't straighten out to get into a deep squat position and throws the balance off. I you can't do pic rel you probably can't Asian squat.
thats literaly a slavsquat bro
what the frick are you on about, go to any eastern euro country and ull see manual labor people do this when resting or gopniks eating seeds and squatting
Because they need to squat down to shit, whereas we have toilets.
I've been doing it so long that I get pissy when I don't do it.
Its become the perfect way to round off my day and feel like, if all else has failed, I have accomplished at least one thing.
Was one of our running stretches our coach made us do directly after our runs. Only fats and uncoordinated people cant do it.

you are moronic I am
and have literally always been able to leisurely do this. how can you not do it? what is causing it?
Nothing to do with being an Asian, everything to do with being a lazy, fatass westerner.
I was 25 years old when I read from a newspaper about this phenomenon. I couldn't believe what I was reading. I had to ask my band mates to try and squat. Only a couple out of five could barely do any kind of squat.
It's the most natural stance a human has. I've squatted my whole life. And this is IST for fricks sake, you are supposed to squat. It never ceases to amaze me how fricking unfit fat fricks lurk around here.
If you are not able to squat and you're under 40 years old (I'm 36 now), fricking do something about it or just end yourself. At least don't pretend you're fit.
I’m not talking about squatting, I am talking about doing it with your feet flat.
I can do the exact same squat without any problem and hold it indefinitely, I just can’t do it with my heels touching the ground, even when fully ass to grass. I can only do flat heels when I have at least 135 lbs on my back to act as a counterweight
Your ankles aren't flexible cuz americans never have to squat down for anything, asian countries their beds are lower, they sit on the floor sometimes, lot of toilets you need to squat over to use, Americans just have high seated chairs, their beds are waist level, everyone is immobile and sedentary, I didn't realize how much of a problem it is for people to squat.
This is why japanese have less than a 1% obesity rate, everything there is harsh for fat people, apartments with narrow hallways, steep stairs, tiny apartments, you have to walk everywhere cuz you can't get a car, if you're obese you can't squat over public toilets right (which you'd have to use everytime you want to shit since some places dont have inhouse toilets) their traditional beds are lower or on the floor so you can't be obese/mobility issues getting up and down, pretty common to sit on the floor there too, they also don't have this body acceptance culture and "just eat when you're hungry bro, you don't hold in your piss"
Squatting is squatting. If you can't do it with your feet flat, you lack the flexibility due to lack of squatting.
I have no issues with it despite having short legs while being tall, you're all just mobilitarily moronic.
never trained for it.
>manlet
>duck footed, feet close to collapsing
>using knees to pull yourself into position
sorry kiddo
i'm 6'2, don't need to use my knees.
you are just in poor physical shape and will never make it, pathetic lardass.
Look at the angle of your feet
feet going sideways is the correct angle, provides more stability, you'd know if you could do either, but you can't because you're a genetic dead end.
angle of your ankles and feet have nothing to do with asian squat either fatass.
you cannot squat lol
cry is free, keep seething lardass, attach physique + squat in next post or I'm not reading it.
do you legitimately believe this is the correct natural position? look at the angle of your feet ankles and knees you moron
you are dyel and can't squat. sorry loser
yeah but your toes are pointed out. them chinks can do it toes pointed forward, its nuts. it looks supes uncomfortable
you are supposed to point your feet out, moron.
anyone that can do it by pointing them outwards can also do it by pointing them inwards.
well, Black folk, i guess i just have to work harder at it then wont i?
and yet you can't
of course I can moronic fatass, I can even point them all the way inwards.
how close your ass is to the ground has nothing to do with the asian squat, inbred moron.
What the frick is your shoulder width
A normal male's?
Normal shoulders are not anywhere near that wide
Maybe yours aren't... Dude's got normal shoulders to me, he's just flexing his traps a bit.
dyel spotted
You even did it half a meter in front of the stairs.. bold, my man
Not bold at all, the position is stable unless you're fat.
that's not how biomechanics work u giga moron
are you moronic? due to the way the male body is built our hips have an angled flare to them. going forward is a woman trait. Flares out excessively is also an issue.
Your feet should slightly flare out when standing and squatting.
And most of IST is full of shit claiming they can do something that is physically impossible for them to do, what a surprise.
You are a moron, that's not it at all. Your ass isn't anywhere near the ground even without shoes, that's the whole point.
>fatshit is so obese and immobile he thinks its literally impossible to squat all the way down with completely flat feet and be white
let me guess you fell for SS + GOMAD too
Have you ever been so fat that you had to assert it's physically impossible to be non-fat?
I don't know what it is with you Amerifricks and accusing people of being fat when you get into an argument with them. My current answer is that I have been underweight multiple times in my adult life and only gone into so-called "overweight" when on bulks. It has nothing to do with being overweight, your ass has to touch the ground. I have to admit, you're almost doing it, for a caucasian that's about the best one could get, even many asian people can't do it. But look I wrote this post as well
- that's what you can't do. A rare number of Arab people can do it. They are both very thin AND they have the physiology for it.
This isn't some new thing I'm thinking about, I've been thinking about this and sitting in a similar way for like 10 years. Notice how when someone has poor circulation they're told to "raise their legs" - it's because your legs should be higher than they are relative to your heart. That's how you avoid deep vein thrombosis. Another thing compression stockings are vital for a lot of people to keep that pressure up in their legs and not let blood start to clot there. Well by sitting like this you are compressing your legs. So guess what? You're moronic if you argue with me on this topic because you'll be wrong. My point is very simple, as westerners we have lost that way we're supposed to sit, that's why we have to resort to chairs.
>for a caucasian that's about the best one could get, even many asian people can't do it.
So when OP asked, why can't whites squat like asians, you interpreted the question as, why can't white squat in a way that even asians can't?
Ok tubby.
You look kinda familiar. Are you the fricking guy who left an orange vomit in the sink at Member 24 at Kyrkogatan?
You have shit flexibility
i can do a heel squat not sure what you're talking about.
After spraining both ankles I can't squat with my back straight anymore, nor sit down like those asians even though I could before. Hopefully I can restore the mobility eventually, shit sucks.
omega rip. pretty sure I sprained mine but that was a year ago and I can do heel flat squats.
I try and do it for 10 minutes each day, and it has helped me get in better position when squatting with weights.
half asian/half white here.
Took me less than a week to get it done. Just keep trying.
I can do it and I’m a 100% European ancestry mutt
Different hip sockets. White people have deep hip sockets while Asians have shallow hip sockets.
Asians are more flexible but more likely to frick up their hips.
this is more absurd race pseudoscience... shut up before you have people thinking your dumb shit and that they can't deep squat. It has more to do with anterversion/retroversion of the hip joints which isn't race dependent, and neither is an advantage or impediment to deep squatting, it just means it has to be done in a different way. Deep squatting is mostly a cultural thing dude, learn your shit before you come on here embarrassing yourself
How fricking autistic/moronic are you?
You can tell someone's race by looking at their shoulder joint.

If you leftards were blind you'd deny that there are different skin colors. Forensic scientists literally use racial differences in bones to identify dead bodies. You are a homosexual. Consider roping.
What a homosexual.

Asians shit while squatting. Whites shit sitting.
Whites are high in colon problems. Asians don't have that at all
look this shit is simple.
go to the edge of your bed frame.
grab it.
squat down.
allow your ankles and your hips to stretch.
that's all you gotta do, the rest comes with time.
it took 2 weeks.
What are you talking about?
I've been able to squat down my entire life, heels on the grond and everything
Is crouching suppoused to be hard? How are people unable to do this
I'm Italian and I require no effort to do so
If you can't do this then how do you ATG squat?
Because you don't hit the floor. You go ass to grass, not ass to ground.
It's worth noting also that this is how chimps and other primates sit naturally. They don't sit in a chair, they basically squat to the point of their butt hitting the ground. Same with how cats and dogs sit. But some humans can't sit like this anymore.
>humans can't sit like this anymore
We literally can though, its just americans that can't, and its not "genetic" its from being inflexible immobile fricks
Because left is wearing jeans and right is wearing a skirt
Doesn't matter, there's literally no benefit in being able to do it or not do it
>anons itt can't do this
Do what? Shove an orange dildo up our asses?
Am I the only one that can't even sit on my heels, Japanese style? Fricking hurts man.
I didn't know other people couldn't until I was an adult. I've been doing it my whole life, that's probably why.
Euros are encouraged to sit in chairs at at early age, even the diagnostic screener for childhood autism lists a dislike of sitting "normally" as a warning sign for parents. No such taboo in Asia.
the way to master the asian squat is to train duckwalks for a while...Duckwalks is also a great exercise for hip abductors, in case you gays have hip dips and need to compensate. You can also do duckwalks weighted. Great mobility and balance gains to, the better you get at them.
not just asians, anyone can do it. This guy is white, pretty tall and has it down pretty well: https://youtu.be/M3jL9Iy6tKY
you probably just have poor mobility. His method works nicely though
I'm gonna try this method, I'm so close to doing it effortlessly without my arms out.
Based video. I had a fricked ankle that had to go through rehab, readjustment, etc. After all of that external shit, I was basically told I would need to find mobility work and stretches to get proper dorsiflexion back. I tried banded distractions for joint mobilization, weighted lunges on my knee, atg split squats, and finally landed on just sitting in a squat with any additional support I need.
One thing I somewhat disagree with or would add to his method; He mentions picking a foot position that is comfortable for you, however, I think anyone should take the time to try and achieve a squat where both feet are pointed stright forward and the feet are together if your goal is ankle mobility. If you can do that, you can squat in literally any position.
Of course, listen to your body. Discomfort is ok, pain is not. If you just want to achieve a comfortable full ATG squat in your "natural" preferred stance, go for it.
Their hips are different. Imcredibly shallow hip sockets. It's annoying seeing scrawny hipster morons pretending everyone needs to squat down all the time like it's some magical health marker. Plus Slavs do it best.
t. fatshit powershitters
This thread made me realize why people complain about lower back pain when squatting.
I’m the palest white person I know and at 6’2” I can do this easily. It’s called ankle flexibility
I've been squatting since I was a kid. 6'3 white man now. The trick is its all in the knees. You bend the knees until hamstring is fully pressed against the calves. Most people are moronic and start lifting their ankle instead of knees. This movement is all about the knees, ignore the weird cope and bullshit about hips and ankles. Bend your knees all the way and the body will drop into a perfect squat.
asians have different slant/shape to some features of their pelvis. this was finally confirmed scientifically only a handful of years ago
hilariously another population has these adaptations- ukranians were found to have similar hips in the same study
Similar to other anons in this thread, I can squat with my ankles on the floor but my center of gravity shifts so far back that I can’t stay on my feet unless I extend my arms in front of me. Rsising my heels and standing on the balls of my feet fixes this issue and I can squat like that comfortably for a while.
I squat flat on my feet moron, I'm from Serbia
I can squat like this and I'm overweight kek. But I'm also a manlet and slav, maybe that helps
>squat on the end of my feet
>flatten left foot
>flatten right foot
>ass suddenly goes upward
I feel like less of a man for not being able to do this. Frick.
I can only do this with my knees poking out. Trying it like her, I'd have to lean forward enough it feels like I'm gonna tear a tendon in my foot.
>heeled shoes
kek if I raise my heels an inch I can do it.
I am white and can do the Asian squat. If you can’t do this, you might have your feet too close together or your Achilles might be too tight.
Am Hungarian, can do the Asian squat quite easily. My Chinese ex on the other hand couldn't.
>OP makes post about pose entirely reliant on mobility
>half of the answers talk about being fat, bones length and other unrelated shit
god I hate this board
It's literally the sub 80 iq pol tards shutting up the board. Imagine thinking being able to sit in a squatting position has anything to do with race lmfao. These people are terminally online and have never smoked hash with a bunch of east Germans sitting in the "slav" squat position. I guess they are crypto Asians.
It's how they go potty, annon. Get you a small stepstool and put it in front of your toilet so when youre shitting it's like a squatty potty and you'll eventually be able to do it in you every day scenarios, like on a train or on Jamal's wiener. Alternatively just do like monke do
Nothing to do with us Fingols, squatting has always been a Slav thing.
In fact, during the last war one of the ways to find Russian spies in the workforce was to shout "alright, five minute break" and then arrest those who automatically dropped into a squat.
Literally nobody cares
You cared.
when I get deep down I often just fall backwards
how do I fix this?
How is this an Asian thing?
How can you not do that, it's very easy. I don't even think you need to be flexible
This. I'm stiff as frick. Can't even imagine doing splits, but squatting is like standing, or sitting on a chair - normal.
Start in shallow water, when you feel confident start Asian squatting outside the water.
Human flag pole is the better party trick for sure, but the Asian squat is easier and can be done anywhere, only problem is most normies believe they can do it.
Monkey stance
Wtf is wrong with americans?!
Where do we even begin?
train it, it will help you to defecate if you're a manlet, tall guys like me have it easier just sitting in the white man bathroom
As a Slav I can squat as much as I want to.
ok you race obsessed Black folk, I don't care about short asian femurs and it looks like fit white people can do this just fine. How do I fix not being able to do this??
I squat just fine and I'm american white. Your just a shill or a stupid homosexual.
You're just not flexible. It has nothing to do with race. Whites can do this, too.
white women have to spend years training yoga to do what some random asian model/actor does without thinking. k.
>source: trust me bro I know women
The Asian/Indian shitting stance is their training.
Ask me how I know you've never been on the european continent.
Has anyone actually answered OP yet? They can squat like this because it's how they take thier shits. Imagine squatting like this several times a day from the time you're 2ish to adulthood, those muscles are crazy developed.
>Has anyone actually answered OP yet?
I'm white and have no problem squatting like the asian in the OP. I don't even have good mobility, I'm just not fat.
Not sure if you have been to any country in asia but these are outdated. Some countries still cant flush toilet paper down the toilet but they use toilet seats now
Yeah most do, you can probably find these at old school buildings or the like or in the countryside where mostly older people live at, the squat potties are still pretty based though.
the frick? I could easily do what the asian girl is doing since I was a kid
You can do it, you just lack flexibility from years of sitting in chairs(the wooden israelite)
I used to do this all the time chilling with my skaterbros and it was only after I moved to a different state ppl started asking me how I was able to maintain a squat and I honestly have no idea
I couldn’t do the slav squat two years ago. I can now do so effortlessly. You have to incorporate stretch for your tibialis, and slowly make progress on it. The ability to do it without practice comes more from lifestyle. Asians have a more active one and westerners have a more sedentary one. Simple as.
lower weight, lower center of gravity
Dude, that's is called the slav squat not the slant eye squat.
Short tibia/fibula.
That's why their calves always look big.
how can i improve my flexibility? besides doing squats
stretch
Am white, can squat with feet on ground. You're just inflexible (and probably fat)
>all the fatty cope ITT
Embarrassing. IST has gone to the dogs.
It's one thing to be able to do it but OP is asking why they can do so indefinitely.
Most of you gays couldn't stay in this position for longer than a few minutes.
European here
Never seen anyone unable to squat like girl on right
Is it some kind of /fit / meme?
I refuse to believe ISTizens aren't even able to do a basic squat. I am 6'4 white and with horrible mobility and I can easily squat like these ricebeans.
it's harder than you think for some people, near ATG they fall backwards. Not exactly a simple matter of ankle mobility
Strong feet. Strong tibs. Gymcels literally never train these muscles, have skinny ass calves despite horse thighs, and can't maneuver their bodies worth half a shit due to poor ROM in all their joints.
Athletic training is the only training that matters, and you're a dumb homosexual if you think otherwise. Training for aesthetics will, ironically, make you look like a moron.
I am European and can do this, always have been able to. I can squat like that for hours without problems. I can also walk while squatting like that, my nieces and nephews love it when I chase them around the house while squatting.
>try to do this squat
>feet fall inwards
Is this ankle and hip mobility issue?
Just another way asians are racially superior to whites and Black folk
I can do this but mainly because I've skateboarded all my life.
Can Africans even squat?
I can do this with my feet almost pointing forward but beyond that it gets uncomfortable. Either way, this board is so fricked if this is hard for you. I sometimes sit like this if I've been standing for too long in one place.
I'm "white" and I can squat the way she is squatting forever, but i'm a slav/med mix so i might have some mongol blood in me
ankle mobility
IIRC asians and even some slavs have different hip sockets
This video gives a great explanation of the physics and mechanics involved.
There is no way you can improve your flexibility to increase your squat depth, unless you have particular weaknesses. You may literally just be unable to do a proper atg squat due to your proportions.
I'm literally the most inflexible fricker on the planet but squatting deep is extremely natural for me. I guess being part-slav helps genetically somehow.
Because their flat asses don't weigh them down.
I hate the british
Look up Zack Telander’s 5-minute squat warmup routine. He is 6’4” and can perform a perfect heels-on-the-ground slav squat. Doing this helped me to finally squat ATG at 6’2” with really long legs.
>tl;dr genetics, bone structure
thanks for reading this thread
/thread
I'm ~3% finnish (asian) so it's easy for me
>heels down
easy
>heels down ankles touching
literally impossible
I’m a white eurogay and I can do picrel fine. It’s a flexibility thing, not a race thing.
im a mixed black/white and i can do them just fine
I am so sorry.
I want to congratulate all the participants of this thread. You have created the most evident and symbolic representation of everything broken with this board: powershitters, lookism gays, dyels, incels and /misc/tards concentrating into one unholy amalgamation against the simple idea of squatting down flat footed.
What a sight to see. Superb.
>Why can asians squat indefinitely with their heels flat on the ground while Whites/Europeans can only do a stationary squat by balancing on our midfoot?
Speak for yourself anon. In bong we squat every way. Must be the tea eh?
Bone structure
It doesn't require anything special. You just play on the floor as a kid. Every time you pick some up or do something on the floor you squat for a while throughout your life. I never even knew some subhumans couldn't do it. You have lived a very unnatural life.
I’ve always been able to do this and I’m an overweight White guy with a 9” dick from the South
how dumb do you have to be to think race has anything to do with this?
I'm 10'7'', paler than the first driven snow on the north pole during the big bang in a universe made entirely of semen, anyone within 10 miles of me is permanently blinded by the refraction of light from my skin. Not only can I squat like the girl on the right, but I do so constantly, any time I fail to asian squat ATG the very fabric of spacetime breaks and countless souls are thrust into the intergalactic abyss. I can't believe there are people out there who cannot do this, but it must be because I am directly descended from Genghis Khan and Sun Tzu themselves.
I'm white and I can do heels flat. it's very easy, you just have terrible mobility.
>while Whites/Europeans can only do a stationary squat by balancing on our midfoot?
I can asian squat just like right pic. It's quite easy unless you have shit mobility.
I'm white and I can squat like asians. I am not even slavic and my parents cannot do it. I used to do karate as a child though so that is probably why.
I didn't realize there were people who can't do this
what's crazy is your ankle mobility doesn't even seem that impressive. I bet your thoracic mobility is great tho
What you aren't seeing is his Giraffe neck for counterbalance.
I've been trying to learn how to do this for two months. Can finally get in the position without propping up my heels, but it's still far from being comfortable. Maybe in two more months.
They have shorter femurs on average.
Also probably a different hip structure via genetics that favours squats (this is a generalization, there are probably lots of asians with bad hip structure for squats). Also squatting is much more ingrained in their culture and they do it more, they sit down less, perhaps also. I think learning to flex your lumbar muscles to get to the bottom of a squat (especially women as they like to stick their ass out and usually have lordosis) takes training, note that the lumbar spine of the western girl is neutral, while the lumbar is flexed in the chink.
>shorter femurs on average.
I don't think it's the shorter fermur.
It gets uncomfortable for me after 5 minutes, like pressure building up in your feet and ankles, that's what makes me want to sit or stand normal again or adjust my feet.
shorter femur means your shin doesnt need to be at such an extreme angle to hit a2g depth, which puts less stress on your ankles.
So yeah, short femurs factor in to it.
so just a few mm of bone can make you squat sit comfortably for over half an hour or so?
No but it factors in to it. Its also about your femur length in proportion to your torso length and tibula/tibia length and all of the things mentioned above.
If you spent like 30 mins doing it every day im sure you'd be feel a lot more comfortable in an a2g position. Everything factors in to it. Muscle strength, ligament strength, body proportions, balance.
What? I'm white/European, 100% dutch and I can easily do the position on the right, it does get kinda uncomfortable after a couple of minutes but how long do Asians squat sit, during meals? Breaks? The whole day?
azns have bowed legs
also thread reminds me of this sciance article
>"Our finding that AI can accurately predict self-reported race, even from corrupted, cropped, and noised medical images, often when clinical experts cannot, creates an enormous risk for all model deployments in medical imaging," write the researchers.
I'm 6'1" and laughing heartily at anybody that can't do this
i'm white and squat like the left.
it's not hard.
I can sit like in the right picture without problems, have you tried not being a fat-ass?
>someone realises their mobility sucks
>fit spends days coping
never change boyos
You people seriously can’t do this? Wtf??
Are you guys at least able to sit down on the floor and get up without using your hands?
no knees either
asians evolved this trait so that they can comfortable suck bwc without having to get on their knees
because they are often lower class humans
It's a technique that is learned. The slav squat is learned from wanting to sit down in prison, but not wanting to be on a cold floor.
It's because they are lower in society than whites
>Squatting is considered a skill now
They're born
and then seconds later they're squatting in some river washing a wok.
Only very skinny people can do that.
