When you increase Range ofMmotion you need to incorporate that in training. In other words, train in your new fuller Range of Motion.

As readers, we should understand that Dr. Starret is alsolaying out the framework of his philosophies which are rooted in the scientific understanding of human mobility. Also – putting your hip into max flexion/external rotation/abduction does create the most stable position but that does not mean you cannot squat ass to ankles, in fact it is the only way to squat ass to ankles while maintaining a stable/neutral spine, proper alignment in all joints and least passive tension on the body (which a loss of will cause torsion moments on the body and increased stress on joints)” Performance is what drives us as human beings, but dysfunctional movement patterns can bring the human body to an abrupt halt. Often, the factors that impede performance are invisible even to seasoned athletes and coaches. Becoming a Supple Leopard makes the invisible visible. Whether you are a professional athlete, a weekend warrior, or simply someone wanting to live healthy and free from physical restrictions, this one-of-a-kind training manual will teach you how to harness your athletic potential and maintain your body.

It has its place for sure. I use it, but I don’t abuse it. Let that be a lesson for the kids.Kelly shares his approach to mobility and maintenance and gives tips on how to live a healthier, happier, more fulfilling life. Dupont, Doug (25 January 2015).

The second stated goal makes this obvious: When an athlete from the initiation and throughout until the bottom of the squat is pushing their knee out [he is referring to pushing the knee OUTSIDE of the foot] they are not actually creating a varus force, what they are doing is flexion/abducting/externally rotating the hip which allows the athlete to squat to depth.” –Supple Leopard Camp
