I would like to do GTG bodyweight squats or maybe goblet squats throughout my workday. The problem is that I cannot get a deep or even full range of motion in my dress pants.
Would it be worthwhile to do three-quarter squats or would that pattern an incomplete movement down the road. I do TGUs, Swings, deadlift for two months a year (double bodyweight), Muay Thai for fitness is my main exercise. I have neglected squatting. I want to prepare a base for barbell squats and pattern the movement. I know how popular Goblet squats are but I feel the pattern a very straight up and down (very high bar) type groove due to the counterbalance. I want to groove a low bar squat. I can use a dowel which seems to help me visualize the bar line over the middle of my feet.
I already do plan strong press during the day and a set of pushups before lunch everyday. I can't afford to sweat much but I do have the privacy of my own office.
Should I forget this idea and just do mobility work?
