You should watch if the hip hyperextends properly. In your case (and mine's) the hip is still flexed there... I personally feel "unsafe" about hyperextending my hips explosively during cleans, I just feel like I'll hyperextend my back or get injured or that my abs aren't strong enough to control and decelerate the hyperextension or something.

Did you always had that much available dorsiflexion or...? That's pretty crazy.

I'm pretty sure I did. When I used to squat parallel and/or with a wider stance and toes pointed out more, i didnt dorsiflex as much. Thats because mechanically it wasnt necessary. but i COULD have had the same dorsiflexion had i went atg and narrow.

my dorsiflexion isnt limited by my calf flexibility at all. its limited by.... my foot?
analogy: how much can you flex your elbow? why cant you go any further, is it because the tricep is tight? no, its because your bicep is in the way.

same thing with my ankles. i cant dorsiflex more than i already do unless i change the structure of my feet and ankles.

Hm... yeah but in my case, the difference of dorsiflexion between my left and right ankles is tremendous.

I might do some core and mobility work during my off days. I'll still go to the gym because at home I can't stop being lazy.

I laughed at "foam rolling gluten"

Yeah... it's just... I think a lot of it is in your body structure... femur lengths and all that. I just hate to do mobility work, I just don't "believe" in it. I'm like "yeah yeah... I'm stretching this for 5-10 minutes so what? maybe I'll see a 1% increase in mobility in like 5 years of doing this".

I don't understand how can you squat with that narrow stance. My femurs would hit my hips like crazy plus I'd run out of the dorsiflexion after the first 1/4 squat portion.

I remember when I was in 10th grade when I was doing bodyweight squats x 50 reps and they didn't feel that hard.

I don't know how they'd feel now. Gave me such a pump and a feeling of "isometry" if you will... very similar to one leg jumping. Is hard to explain.
