You can easily discover the perfect stance width and angle where your hips fold smoothly by following these five steps:<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7551\" src=\"https:\/\/burnfit.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lower-Back-Pain-GIF-by-YOGABODY.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"303\" height=\"380\" \/><\/p><ul><li><b data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Step 1. Quadruped Check:<\/b> Get down on your hands and knees in a comfortable, relaxed tabletop position.<\/li><li><b data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Step 2. Adjust Knee Width:<\/b> Gradually widen your knees slightly past hip-width to test different distances.<\/li><li><b data-path-to-node=\"11,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Step 3. Rock Hips Backward:<\/b> Keeping your upper body stable, slowly push your hips back toward your heels.<\/li><li><b data-path-to-node=\"11,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Step 4. Find the Sweet Spot:<\/b> Identify the exact knee width where you can sit back the deepest without your lower back rounding or your lower abdomen feeling pinched.<\/li><li><b data-path-to-node=\"11,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Step 5. Stand Up and Apply:<\/b> Stand up, keeping that exact knee width, and apply it directly to your standing stance. Generally, <strong>setting your feet around shoulder-width apart with your toes flared outward by 15 to 30 degrees yields the most comfortable and correct position.<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6d2ed29 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6d2ed29\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7f006de\" data-id=\"7f006de\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bb696c2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bb696c2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<hr \/><h3>\ud83e\uddb5 Part 2.

The ideal squat depth isn&#8217;t determined by anyone else&#8217;s standards\u2014<strong>it depends entirely on your hip mobility.<\/strong><\/p><ul><li><strong>Squat Only to the Point Before Your Back Rounds<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>Forcing yourself too deep can cause your pelvis to tuck under, a phenomenon known as a <strong>&#8220;Butt Wink.&#8221;<\/strong> This tilt forces your normally straight lower back to round out, which is the primary culprit behind post-workout lower back pain. To stay safe, only squat as deep as you can while keeping your spine and pelvis perfectly neutral in the mirror.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Start with Thighs Parallel to the Floor<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>If you lack baseline flexibility, do not force yourself into a deep, ground-level squat. Stopping when the tops of your thighs are parallel to the floor provides more than enough stimulus for your quads and glutes.
