I completely have the hip and knee mobility. When I'm doing a front squat, or I have the weight in front of me (like a snatch grip DL), I have no problem getting down that far.
I think I must just lack the ankle mobility. If I'm just going for a bodyweight ATG squat, with a narrower stance (knees in armpits), I seem to always fall ass backwards. If I manage to stay up, I have to curve my spine a lot, and usually widen out my stance.
Anyways, I think that must mean I lack the ankle mobility. I'm practicing some ankle mobility drills while using a full ROM in my lifts to straighten that out. In the mean time, at least it's not a hip or knee mobility problem; then I'd probably be getting injured a lot.
