Huh. Apparently a lot of people physically can’t squat with both feet flat on the ground.

I see a lot of people in the notes talking about balance and, while that can be an issue, what I’m pretty sure the OP is talking about is the fact that, unless you start squatting with your feet on the ground at an early age, your ankle will develop in a way where you will phisically be unable to bend it far enough to squat like that. I’m slav myself, but since I wasn’t much of an active kid, I can’t slav squat - I can get my foot at a right angle to my leg but that’s it! Won’t go any further!

I didn’t intentionally slav squat as a kid or grow up using squat toilets, but I am hypermobile, so maybe that’s why I can do it without practice? It’s certainly most comfortable and sustainable if I lean forward a bit and tuck my knees into my armpits.

Ship we need pictures of that because I genuinely can't imagine how that looks

Squatting with fleet flat on the floor:

Squatting on toes, American style:

My body is fucked up in weird subtle ways so it’s entirely possible that these are all “goblin squats” of my own devising and don’t have the proper form of slav squats.

You may, in fact, be an iron giant
