Yeah, but I had heard it called "the Asian squat"


I've always heard it called the "slav squat".


Same here. I'm in Europe - i wonder if the name gets attached to whatever the nearest ethnic minority that practices it is?

It's even got a subreddit:

I think the least ambiguous name is "wall facing squat". Good for googling more information.


The "slav squat" isn't heels to ground, though.
