If you want a deeper squat for minimal time then this has you covered. Simply by improving the dorsiflexion, most will see a significant improvement in their squat depth both for resting and in the gym. Your ankles are the key but it is important to not overlook how hip mobility also plays a roll but here is the 3 steps to get you started.

3 STEP APPROACH:
Daily -
A. Single Leg Calf Stretch - 3-5 minutes per side
Warm Up -
A. Fisherman's Calf Stretch - 2 x 60s per side (10s/5s)
In Session -
A. Cyclist Squat or Split Squat- 3-5 x 8-10 (3-2-1-0)
