The video discusses the benefits of elevating one's heels while squatting. The act of elevating one's heels shifts the center of mass back and allows for a more vertical path during the squat, which in turn loads the quads and keeps the squat more squat-like.

This is important because if the squat is too hingy, it can lead to similar muscular loading as hip hinges and lose the unique benefits of both exercises. Adding heel elevation to squats and working on ankle or hip mobility outside of it is a great idea.

We suggest that even without mobility training, simply elevating heels and reaching depth during the squat can improve mobility.
