Back Chain Dominance

Your hip level is marked CAUTION in standing—about 1.13° off level, meaning one side sits higher. In the deep squat, it's about 0.10° off, showing the imbalance persists under load. Your left hip is pushed forward by about 0.61 inches, shifting load away from your glutes and into your quads and lower back. This imbalance can make you feel uneven and less mobile, directly affecting your hip flexors. Balancing your hips will help distribute load evenly, reducing strain.

Inside Ankle Bone High

Your ankle/arch score is CAUTION. Your inner ankle-bone angle measures about 21.36° in standing and about 25.84° in the squat. Ideally, we want around 22° for a healthy arch shape. Your arch is collapsing slightly, causing the ankle to sink inward. This affects force transfer, sending stress up into your knees, hips, or back. Stabilizing your ankles will support your goal of becoming more durable by providing a stronger foundation.

Columns

Your core score is CAUTION, pointing to your rib cage position. The test shows your rib cage is in a suboptimal position, which means your 'upper body stack' isn't lined up directly over your feet. This misalignment causes your upper back and shoulders to work harder to keep you upright. It can contribute to stress in your hip flexors because you're essentially living in a stressed position. Aligning your rib cage over your pelvis can provide relief and improve overall function.

Suppleness

Your suppleness score is RISK, showing limited flexibility. You're about 26.56° away from maximizing hamstring mobility, and your palms are about 57.11 units above the ground. This indicates limited back-side flexibility, causing your lower back to strain to 'reach' for you. This connects to your hip flexors, as those areas are doing a job your hips and hamstrings should be doing. Improving this will reduce strain and enhance mobility.

Landing

Your landing score is CAUTION because your base isn't fully stable. Your knees track healthy, but the arch collapses inward and the feet spin out in the squat. This means force isn't absorbed cleanly, redirecting stress into your knees, hips, or lower back. This can affect your hip flexors. Training your legs to 'catch' your body with strong feet and controlled shins will improve stability.

Feet Alignment

Your feet alignment is RISK due to significant changes from standing to squatting. Standing, your feet are relatively straight (right about 3.70°, left about 14.57°). In the squat, your right foot turns out to about 14.09° and your left to about 16.69°. This indicates your body is 'searching for space' at the ankles and hips, causing the feet to spin out. This compensation pattern means force isn't traveling straight up and down, affecting your hip flexors. Stabilizing your feet will provide a solid base for movement.

Shoulders

Your shoulders score is CAUTION, indicating some imbalance. Your right shoulder sits higher by about 0.8° in your standing posture. This asymmetry suggests your upper body is slightly tilted, even at rest. While this might not directly affect your hip flexors, it can lead to neck tension or upper back tightness over time. For durability, we want your shoulders even, not just while standing, but also when you squat and move. This balance helps prevent uneven stress on your body.

Launching

Your launching score is RISK, indicating issues with push-off mechanics. When your foot turns out and the arch collapses, your push tends to 'leak' power sideways. This means stress goes into your knees, hips, and back instead of being absorbed cleanly. For your goal of becoming more durable, we want a push that feels smooth and even left-to-right.

1. Your G8way Max coach will prescribe specific exercises to address your foot alignment issues. This will help stabilize your base and improve your overall mobility.
2. Focus on exercises that enhance ankle mobility. This will support your goal of becoming more durable by providing a stronger foundation for movement.
3. Work with your coach to improve hip alignment. This will help distribute load evenly and reduce strain on your hip flexors.
