#AskAchieve 84: The Lower Body Episode - Squatting Below Parallel, Knee Pain While Squatting, and Big Toe Pain While Lunging!




Sweat Out; Happiness In! show

Summary: What's up, Achievers?! We may or may not have had our baby by the time you listen to this - we recorded this right after our Monday episode so we didn't leave you hanging if we did! In the first question, we dive into why a person might not have any problems squatting below parallel while pushing a plate out in front of them, but can barely hit 90 degrees when a bar is on their back (5:12). We then talk about how we address bilateral and unilateral knee pain while squatting (9:40). Finally, we address what a person should do if they're experiencing a lot of big toe pain while lunging (14:59). We hope you enjoyed this episode! If you did, we'd love you forever if you left a rating and review on iTunes - it seriously helps us out a lot! Please DM us @achievefitnessboston on Instagram if you have any questions you'd like us to answer. Until next time, Peace, Love, and Muscles!
