This is a thread on figure athlete where I was discussing how to train my female friend. It also includes a broomstick mobility routine that I created.
Women need to have a wider stance then men when squatting due to the difference in angles from pelvis to knee. This means that there needs to be more emphasis on the glutes, wide stance, sumo deadlifts,lunges etc. However I only found this out on FA.[/quote]
I did widen my stance on my squats quite a bit and it feels much more comfortable and I can get a bit lower. I still have a problem getting LOW so I now do it with a bench or box behind me and I go until my butt hits it. I am also working on keeping my chin up and not having my knees go forward.
