Difference between squat and ma bu “horse stance”

(CC for English translation)

Is there a difference between just squatting… and actually dropping into a horse stance?

A big part of the difference comes down to what’s happening in the dāng (裆).
It functions like an arch — not something you create, but something that appears when the structure is correct.

When weight lifters squat… are they building the same thing?

All training has both static training and dynamic training. It's better to do both.

I start 100 squats daily this year. I start with 20 non-stop 5 time. Today I have reached to 40 non-stop 5 times (200 squats daily).
