Never knew they were correlated! Thank you so much for these tips I'm definitely gonna work on them now and see if it improves my squat.

    I think this is my problem. Because with the fable test my left side is higher than my right. However when I do the airplane on my right side it is more unstable. My left side can handle it much better. Thanks for your comment because I was confused I thought my right side was the issue yet the test was saying it was my left side. But seeing this comment helped me make sense of the issue!

    What is the healthiest position of the ilium bones while standing and sitting? How should they move in a squat? I noticed that my right ilium flared out. I think I have corrected I have corrected much of this flaring by forcefully contracting the transverse abs, and pushing the upper sacrum back with my breath and bracing. The latter improved my lower back excessive lordosis. Avoiding the flaring out of my right ilium improved my knee pain, and I made a further step toward the pistol squat. I'd love to watch a video on the subject of my first paragraph. Congrats for the highest quality content of your channel!
