Hindu Squat explained for Thanksgiving Challenge

Thanks good initiative!

Hindu squats and pushups DO work!

I started on 24-12-09 with only 40 HS and 10-12 HPU. Today, I'm at 91 HS and 33 HPU!

The most important is to be consistent and set very small goals ie add 1-2 rep every other day to keep it realistic and easy to surpass, so it encourages you. That strategy worked for me!

Consistency, as in any endeavour, is the key. A strong will too!

forget the hindu squats; explain how you got that chest!

[potomacbrave88]

I've added hindu squats to my quad workout. I begin my workout with 4 sets of 25 hindu squats supersetted with four sets of leg extensions, 10-15 reps per set. From there I do 3-4 sets of front squats and 3-4 sets of horizontal leg presses. It's been three days and my legs are still sore.

[MrKleen73]

Nice, that sounds like a serious leg routine there.

[tactteam00]

hey thanks for the vid. will hindu squats help build muscles in the legs, given enough protein/calories/etc? or is it mainly endurance?

[MrKleen73]

I would say it depends on how you do them. If you keep the reps very slow say 4 seconds up 4 seconds down you can very easily put on some mass in your legs. Now I am not talking about huge legs here but. If you are just looking for more muscular legs then absolutely. You can also do jumping hindu squats the explosiveness of that increases muscle recruitment.

Thanks for the tips, I'm going to be starting Hindu Squats tomorrow I believe. I'm a flabby man of 5'6" and 273lb. My lack of physical health is currently giving me issues so I either work on it or it works on me.

[MrKleen73]

Excellent do not give up, consistency is the key.

[FortMustard]

I remembered the FIRST time i did this,i did 25 & i can't bend my left leg even my right leg hurts a lot & took me about a week to recover lol now i do them daily without getting tired,SUCH a great workout to burn fat,this & hindu pushups.

[MrKleen73]

Yeah they are awesome and great for the knees and back too.

[MrKleen73]

You meankind of like the challenge here? Doing them over the course of a weekend? No it should not impede your progress if done once in a month or so. I would not attempt it more than 2 times a month without modifying your current workout somewhat. I would say you could use it to shock the muscle one a month at 500 but otherwise I would maybe add it in like 4 sets of 25, or 1 set of 100 1-2 times a week.

[TheRealWm]

Great info. Will this be overtraining/hinder my progress with weighted squats.

[MrKleen73]

No not as supplemental exercise. My also serve as an excellent warmup before your squats. I good set of 25 of these babies with a contolled motion would be perfect to get blood pumping and the joints lubricated.

[TheRealWm]

that is cool. What about something like 500 of them though?

[SubconsciousDweller]

CAN YOU DO THIS WITH DUMBELLS???

[MrKleen73]

Absolutely. I would start with lower weight if going to do them in the exact same manner but holding weights however if going heavier you may try to allow the dumbells to hang plumb almost behind you. To benefit the range of motion and knees still allow the heels to come up off of the ground extending the range of motion, increasing fexibilty and functional strength.

this was great! i'm used to doing normal squats, but i'm glad i found this video as i think these will keep me from getting stagnant.

[Maffewfucksmen]

Thanks for the explanation. Is the arm movement purely for balance?

[MrKleen73]

Yes and no, it is for balance but you will feel the shoulders working as well when you get into your higher reps.

[Maffewfucksmen]

Thanks for replying! I was doing these this morning, the buzz you get in the legs is tremendous.

[musculos]

I'd hit it.

[minasfabricio]

[MrKleen73]

Thank you I appreciate it.
