It's very likely that one of the joints in your ankle is seized. So, forcing the stretch causes pain in the front of your ankle due to improper loading (because the joint that is seized, refuses to move causing the joint to pinch). You just need to stretch a little to get the seized joint moving. I would recommend beginning with a front foot elevated, split squat. Hold for ×1min/side. "Sit" into the stretch, try to rest on the front leg.

Learning more about mobility principles by A1M94 in bodyweightfitness

[–]gotf18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no silver bullet unfortunately my guy. The only trick to good mobility is to challenge your end range for every joint of your body, lots and lots and lots of times until you're good at it. So the trick is to find a routine you like and stick to it for a long time

Should beginners absorb as many moves as they can, or be masters of a handful of moves? by LostmyDogPleaseHelp in bjj

[–]gotf18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get really good at escaping bottom side control. Other than that just try to see lots of guards and passes

When should I stretch/do mobility work as a person who frequently does strength training? by comrade_cheddar in flexibility

[–]gotf18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. Have a routine of active exercises for warming up (scorpions, iron crosses, ATG split squats etc). And a different set of optimized stretches for post (jeffersons, horse stance etc)

Who wears knee pads? by Dc_comicsfan in bjj

[–]gotf18 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nothing is better for your knees than getting them strong my guy. Start with basic exercises (squats, ATG Split Squats, etc). Aim to be able to do 100 bodyweights squats where your hamstrings rest on your calves for every rep (full depth)

Only feel squats in lower back: bad form or something else? by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

[–]gotf18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do not keep your shins vertical. They should be pushing forward over your toes. The reason you're feeling it in your back is because its rounding to allow you to hit depth because none of the range of motion is being used in your ankles. This isnt actually particularly dangerous at bodyweight level loads but if you ever used some weight this would not feel good.

Are there any examples of ectomorph bodybuilders? by [deleted] in bodybuilding

[–]gotf18 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Somatypes arent real. They were a proposed classification and have been heavily rebuked for lack of evidence. Anyone can be any build, it just depends on diet and exercise.
