I heard about the benefits of sitting in a deep squat, and that there was some sort of 10 minute squat test on the internet from a friend of mine a while ago, but never looked much more into it. I just stumbled upon your site and saw the article, and took the test.
First time test, did all 10 minutes with no issues. I did have some tingling in my feet for about a minute afterwards.
Great site,
Thanx!

I did the 10 minute test at lunch today. It kinda hurt and I had to flair my feet, but I tried to keep my weight on my heels, but my back did start to ache and I felt what I imagine is a shin-splint type pain @ minute 7. I’ll go check the site now and see what I was doing wrong.

Thanks for introducing me to this site, I’ve taken a look and its got some quality info which will rub off on me and my clients. I wasn’t a massive fan of kettlebells but this site has slowly pushed me towards using them more Keep up the good posts.

Sandy, Ive been doing the mobility stuff nightly and whenever i get a moment during my day i hit the squat position or couch stretch for a few minutes, it is helping with my training as i went from 30 sets of vwc to 4 sets since ive started the mobility. now i am going to hammer my hamstrings with the ball and tack stretch thanks for all your info.

Good to hear Shanon. He is an amazing resource for all of us. I just took up rugby and at 48 I’m still able to get one foot in front of the other and turn some motor on. I thank him for helping me immensely.

Ive done some of KStars hip mobility stuff off the sight and plan on doing even more of the hip and lower back mobility stuff..his site and knowledge is heaven sent for a former athlete trying to regain some of my speed and agility. I am gonna try the squat test tonight and see how it works. KStar is legit for sure.

Michael,

I can’t urge you enough to invest some real time at KStar’s site. The payoff is huge.

What a great site. Haven’t checked it in a few weeks. This is one area where I need help, getting into a full squat. I’ll take this challenge, and it will definitely be one. The knees bark at me when I get into a deep squat for too long, but I find that the more I squat (stretch that direction) the less it bothers me. Need to loosen the hips up anyway!

Roland, Glad to hear that you found the link useful. KStar’s stuff can be life changing if applied. I love all the hip stuff especially. Good luck!
