If you do standing and or ma bu (horse stance) practice. You should do it as low as you can go but keep your back straight and your pelvis forward (but not overly so). If you can do 90/90 for 3 min. that would be good but not against the wall. Do this 3 times a day for 1 month. Each week add 30 seconds. You might want to start out with one or two min. If it's easy you are probably doing it wrong. The top of your head and bottom of your tail bone should be in a straight line. No tension in your back. Everything rests on your quads.
