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 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 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.

Amazing, watch it to the end

I don't see any way the hamstring can get that involed in high bar squatting... if anything, it gets into active insufficiency pretty quickly.
