Those are good resources if you're interested in learning how to do it, though you need to at least be able to do the asian sqaut easily before you should attempt a pistol squat.

[Anonymous No.]

>>109231
Seriously. I've never had a problem doing this...

[Anonymous No.]

There's absolutely no reason why any of you should be falling over backwards squatting unless you're learning how to do a pistol, if both your feet are on the ground and you're still falling over then YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG.

Now that we've got that over with here's some tips.

1. Your feet need to be slightly more than shoulder-width apart, if they're too close or too wide then you won't be able to do a full squat
2. Let your toes point outwards, the wider you go the easier it will be but if you're doing a split then you've gone too far
3. Your butt needs to be centered over your heels when you're down all the way, not behind them
4. Back straight, you should be able to sit upright
5. Don't be afraid to let your knees extend in front of your feet if necessary, you're not going to hurt your knees with just your bodyweight
6. If you still can't go down all the way then you need to practice practice practice, every time you need to pick something up off the ground, squat. The more you do it the more flexible you'll get and eventually you'll have mastered the asian sqaut allowing you to use asian toilets without falling over and into your own feces.

"A wider stance is usually preferable to a narrow one."

[Anonymous No.]

Japanese are smaller. That means their legs are shorter. And that also means that when they squat, their body remains closer to their feet, making keeping the balance easier.

Us westers are tall, with long legs. Meaning that when we squat your body is farther from the feet, which makes balance harder. You also have to squat lower because youre taller.

So, yes, its harder to do it if you´re taller.

When I was in Japan at a bar that only had a squatter, my friend had diarrhea and he went to the bathroom, then came out 5 minutes later telling me he cant do it and left the bar in search of a normal toilet. At least he came back 35 minutes later with a great story of his journey.

Also, the secret seems to be stretching the Achilles Tendon. Otherwise, you wont be able to keep from rolling back.

[Bored_Rice !3GqYIJ3Obs No.]

>>113634
wow wtf do you eat?

[Anonymous No.]

Keep both heels down (right drawing) as you bend both knees, which protects your knees.
One way to practice the squat if your Achilles tendons are too tight, is to hold something in front of you, like a counter or sink, and bend both knees as much as you can with both heels down.
While holding the support in front of you, lean back with both arms straight so that your weight stays over your whole foot and heels, which moves your weight off your knee joints and back onto your leg muscles.
Try to balance and sit without holding on. If you find yourself falling backward, or if your heels come up (left drawing), it is likely that your Achilles tendons are too tight for this normal activity. Put one or both hands behind you to lean on (not in the squat bathroom but just to practice).

I can do the squat thing it was taught to us in some movement and manual handling training at work, I do a liftan job

1. feet shoulder width apart hands at top of legs, front of hip joint

2. Stick your ass out, keep legs and back straight, feet and chest should be inline.

3. Soften knees, place hands out in front for balance

Keep practicing till step 4 can be achieved.

At first I would get hip pain if I held the postion for long, but after a while your body gets used to it and you wil become more flexible and it will strength certain muscles. At this point it becomes comfortable.

I seriously cant do it. I'm not obese or nothing, but I havent exercised in over 10 years so I probably lack the flexibility to lean forward enough and remain balanced.

Takes me about 12 hours to crap out what I ate (discovered using corn). So unless I eat once a day, it only makes sense that I'll be crapping in appropriate intervals, assuming there isnt any digestive or intestinal problems. Not enough fiber will mess things up.

Not on squatters no. They have toilet seats that have bidets depending where you go, but not in public bathrooms anyways.

No hills or stairs, but DDR uses the calves extensively much like jogging up an incline does.

Working the calves in a completely different way is NOTHING like jogging up hill.

[Anonymous No.]

>>113961
Calf workout = calf workout. You can't do it in a 'completely different way', it's the same thing no matter which way your other body parts are moving.

I said nothing about other muscles, so don't even go there.

[Anonymous No.]

PROTIP: The calves are a GROUP of muscles. Not just one.

You can do work to emphasize stretching, you can do work to build tone, you can do work to build strength, and you can do work to build speed.

Just FYI.

It's two muscles, whose names I can't remember, not a group. And they are often treated as one muscle anyways, the triceps surae.

[Anonymous No.]

It's western joints that tend to limit this kind of squatting, as they are not used to the practise of bending further, whereas asians probably are due to doing so alot. Sit in seiza for half hour-an hour a day(step it up each day as your legs can take it more and more), it'll help the knees and the calves, and should help you do the squat. Knees, ankles, and hips, all three need work to attain the ability to flat foot squat comfortably.

Sitting seiza is LEAGUES harder than this squat. It cramps my calves and feet even trying to get into it.

Hence the reason for suggesting people wanting to squat do it, it's probably gonna hurt more(keep at it and you get used to it) but it's kind of easier to do than the squat, no need to worry about balance.

[Anonymous No.]

>>114074
As I said, it's easier because you don't have to worry about balance, I'm not saying it's easier on the body of the joints. Hell, it's not hard to sit in seiza at all, people just find it hard to STAY sitting in seiza.

[Anonymous No.]

>>114089
I can't even GET into the seiza position. My legs cramp up just trying to flatten out the foot.

[Anonymous No.]

>>114096
Oh I see, I've never come across someone who can't, only advice'd be to warm up the joints a bit first.

[Anonymous No.]

>>114122
The joints themselves are fine. It's the muscles in the calves and foot that would need some serious stretching before they could relax that much.

They make hard pad PC peripherals. My bum brother got one for Christmas last year. Also, soft pads don't suck on a hard surface, like cement.

I'm not body expert, but wouldnt moving joints move the muscles?

[Anonymous No.]

>>114223
Yeah, but it wouldn't necessarily relax them, especially if you're trying to keep your balance in an unfamiliar position.

[Anonymous No.]

>>114202
All the home pads I've seen, hard or soft, are a different size from arcade pads. Plus they still slide around even on a hard surface like concrete.

Add onto that the fact I mostly play doubles these days, I have no desire to use such substandard equipment.

Western joints? Bollocks. I'm a westerner, and I have no problems squating, so that can't be it. We've also ruled out being fat or tall as possible causes of trouble. Next theory.

[Anonymous No.]

>>114479
Ok, people take things too literally here, I'm not saying no westerners can do it, but due to different lifestyles and culture, western people don't, on average, use the joints and muscles as much or push them as far on a regular basis(like the guy who cant sit in seiza). If they'd been doing it throughout their life and from an early age, they'd no doubt be able to do it now without any hassle.
