horse stance training is a preparatory exercise for squatting in kung fu, the back stays the same in both
Depends on the squatting style. Low bar you have to lean upper body forward to keep weight over the midfoot. And, you stick butt back to engage the glutes and use the stretch reflex of your hamstrings to get out of the hole.
I'm just curious why some schools teach a horse stance with the butt out and some teach it with it in. Butt out will force you to be leaned over more, but allow you to really use the hamstrings.
What are the advantages to gaining an extra couple inches in a more erect spinal posture?
