The upper portion of my legs (knee to hip) is long and my torso its short. How should I alter my squats? Please send me a video if you can.
Thank you!

I’m tall with long legs also – as long as your knees don’t go over your toes when you squat down i think you’re fine. Make sure you push your butt back towards the direction of the bottom corner of the room – you might end up going lower than everyone else but that’s fine!
You can slightly spread your legs wider like a chinese figure eight. Then you shld be able to do a full squat.
