The Exact Mobility Exercises I Used to Back Squat 500 & Front Squat 440 Pounds

I recently back squatted 500 pounds and front squatted 440 pounds. In this video, I'm walking you through the EXACT mobility exercises and warm-up routines I used before each of my four weekly squat sessions. But this isn't just about copying my routine. I'll explain WHY I chose each exercise, what I was trying to improve, and how you can use those same principles to build a warm-up that works for your own squat mechanics. We'll cover ankle dorsiflexion, hip internal rotation, foot pressure, thoracic mobility, front rack positioning, and how all of these contribute to getting into a stronger, more stable squat position. One of the biggest lessons I've learned is that your warm-up shouldn't be a workout of its own. My mobility sessions took just 10–15 minutes, and the goal was never to exhaust myself or force new ranges of motion. It was to prepare my body to squat heavy while preserving as much energy as possible for the barbell. IN THIS VIDEO: 00:00 – Introduction: My Squat Mobility Philosophy 03:32 – Day 1: Primary Back Squat Mobility 15:24 – Day 2: Secondary Front Squat Mobility 24:02 – Day 3: Primary Front Squat Mobility 32:26 – Day 4: Secondary Back Squat Mobility 38:29 – Final Thoughts & Building Your Own Warm-Up Throughout the video, I'll show you the exercises, explain the mechanics, and discuss what I've learned from using and adjusting these routines across multiple training cycles. These are the exact warm-ups I used on my journey to a 500-pound back squat and 440-pound front squat. They aren't necessarily the exact exercises YOU need, but understanding why I used them can help you make better decisions about your own training.
