I need to work on this, badly, but traditional stretches don't seem to be working, which leads me to believe I have some sort of weakness.
For example, i can't keep my toes even close to straight ahead when doing a squat. if i try, it feels like my kneecaps are going to be ripped off (laterally). I can go very deep (below parallel), but my toes are pointing externally towards a 45 degree, or wider, angle, and I can feel my legs externally rotating. Also, unless I have much 135 lbs on my back, I cant squat, seriously. I almost fall forward every time, because i can't keep my heels down. Now, i can do reps into the 400 lbs range with ease on squats, but I know that, as I approach 30, i need to address these issues. I was a sprinter into college, and we have a reputations (at least us white sprinters do) of being very tight through the whole pelvic girlde and below. thoughts, please.
