Informal language for squatting through a very deep range, commonly expanded as “ass to grass”.
Why ATG squat matters
A deep squat can be useful when it is controlled and suited to the person’s mobility, structure and goal.
A practical example
Reducing the load while learning a deeper squat position with stable feet and a controlled trunk.
Common mistake
Forcing maximum depth through pain or losing position simply to meet the label.
Keep the context in mind.
Training and nutrition terms describe general principles. The right exercise, intensity or food target still depends on your experience, health, goals and schedule.
Personalised coaching
Apply the principle to your own training.
A definition is useful, but your programme still needs to match your experience, schedule, recovery and goals.
