Can't do a squat

That's right. The universal mechanic used for sitting. It's something I could never do. When I sit, I kinda just bend my knees a little and then I'll fall back.

So imagine, as I try to do a squat, I can only barely bend my knees, and if I try to go back, I will literally fall over like a tree getting chopped down.

I used to try to get answers years ago, but never worked at the issue. (I'm 27 atm). All I remember finding is that it could be a mix of things: from weak ankles, to weak core strength, to lack of hip mobility and flexibility, and weak glutes.

If anybody has advice, I'd love to learn and try again and see if I can ever perform a proper squat.

And if anyone can relate or have overcome this exact situation, I would love to hear it to know I'm not alone.

But every physical or massage therapist, or Chiro I've been to, treats it as not a serious thing.

Pull up bar suggestions?

I’m having a tough time knowing what pull up bar would work with this frame?
The top is pretty wide compared to most modern door frames, about 6”.
Then the middle between two side frames are 31”.

If you can suggest any pull up bars, it would be a big help!
I’m wanting to start doing pull ups. In the middle of losing weight but wanting to keep my muscle too

I'm sorry, how do you say this weapons name???

I read it as gay bulge 😭

Then of course with my screen shot the description says: Almost seems to leap back.

Sidenote: Fang is so pretty 😍
