so lemme explain, as an experienced slav, to a rookie slav! the true slav squat is the ultimate resting position, as it gives you much more stability than the western spy variant! basically your position is very close as you would have if you had to take a shit in the woods: heels on the ground, ass should not be above the heels but behind, and the arms position is also very important

! western spies rest forearms (upper part, near elbow) on the knees, which is a major mistake

! the true slav rests the middle part of the upper arm on the knees, thus making sure your hands are free for holding the cigarette and the bottle

so heels down, ass behind the heels, middle part of upper arms on the knees (where the medial part of the triceps goes, idk in english), arms extended
