Squat Depth Insights

Tucking the tailbone at the bottom of a deep squat can be controversial, particularly regarding spinal stability. Generally, it's advisable to limit squat depth if excessive flexion occurs, as it may shift the load from muscles to the spine itself. If you feel discomfort in your low back during squats, it may indicate the need to adjust your range of motion or improve mobility. However, if there's no pain or excessive strain, a slight tailbone tuck is typically acceptable.
