Pistol Squats, Mobility Warm Up Exercise by Tuan Tran

[1Formula1Fanatic]

Hey Tuan! Thanks for the vidz! what is your diet like? if you could briefly give an idea; Thanks.

[j7512]

Theres no way that is easy especially being your size and weight...

[batterycock]

can i do dumbell curls instead of this?

[lusteraliaszero]

@batterycock the.. the fuck?

[MissAshPYT]

These are good for for my legs, but I have to do mine assisted until I get strong enough.

[bkedp]

Oh I forgot to add...Check out Steve Maxwell for more exercise ideas similar to the pistol. Steve is a world class athlete whom shares his knowledge with us all.

[bkedp]

Tuan your flexibility and agility exceeds that of a typical bodybuilder. I believe this is due in part to your incorporation of exercises such as the pistol and boxing in your workout routines. You are a well rounded athlete and if people here would open their minds they would see this and enjoy major gains in their general fitness.

[itzdanniahh]

nice! any more of these mobility warm up videos you would like to share? some greats ideas.

[rubberlettuce]

man i cant even do one!, i can squat lots of weight but these are going to take alot of practise, do you think doing these will help my squat as well?

[rubberlettuce]

dude you got a awsome physique, may i ask how long it took to acheive and how much you weigh now? and how much you weighed before touching the weights?

ta!

[HotPocketEXE]

Pistol squats are killer. I still can't get over 8 reps easily. 

[KogarasumaruStorm]

I know I can do this I just lack the flexibility. I can seem to get past parrllel even while holding weight infront of me though. You have any tips to increase my ROM on the exercise?

[Phatfarm1980]

That looks like a great exercise! Doesnt look easy though!

Must work your core quite alot!

[MARINE123456789]

damn u make it look easy! ill try....

[HeLLaHoOkEd]

Hey Tuan,

just wondering if you could help me out i experience pain on my outer knee when running deadlifting heavy hamstring curls etc. i was told it is either ITBS (illotibial band syndrome) or bicep femoris tendonitis just wondering if their are any good warm up excercises to help with the pain or any way of treating it so it heals

thanks.

[roughneckasian]

@HeLLaHoOkEd try to do some foam rolling on your ITB. best thing for that is to do some myofacial release

[suuucka]

i would die :D

[dabul2003]

you make it look to easy! but how many sets do you do to warm up?

[BreatheCreativity]

@dabul2003

Sets? I think you just do a couple of reps unless you're trying to actually use these to replace a real squat.

[roughneckasian]

@dabul2003 1 to 3 sets. just depends on how much you need to do to get the mechnics flowing

[dabul2003]

@roughneckasian thanx for the reply but i jus tried some right now and its way to hard but the thng is i have bad knees and it reallly puts pressure on the kness. and you might be thnking how in the world do i do squats? well i dont lock out my knees, i keep a slight bend.

[roughneckasian]

@dabul2003 try doing this while sitting and standing on a bench first. I have a video on that as well.

[dabul2003]

@roughneckasian thnx for helping. youre true inspiration and the fact taht your asian makes me wanna get big like you. keep up the good work

[j7512]

@dabul2003 Your telling me you do 5 Reps = 1 Set and you do 3 sets which means 15 reps and THATS a warm-up for you? That's pretty much my leg workout for me...

[rgobrien58]

awesome... my knees wouldn't take that range of motion but i will try my best

[benarddor]

this question is off the subject, but what hd brand camera is that your using?

[dho44]

nice 95's bro.

[urnotgonnastopme25]

thats amazing!!!!

[GolemSoldierNo15]

Can someone who is 16 do the excercise in the beggining? I'm just worry it won't effect my knees in a bad way or stunt growth.

[BreatheCreativity]

@GolemSoldierNo15

I'm 14 and I can do this. Please no haters just because I haven't recorded this.

No, it won't stunt your growth. It's just your bodyweight dude, it's not like you're squatting 2x bodyweight with incorrect form lol. I'm sure if you have enough hip strength that you'll be able to do it.

[GolemSoldierNo15]

@BreatheCreativity lol. Thanks. And keep up the great work at doing the squats.

[IronMan362]

damn man, you got some fuckin legs

[H8RbyN8URE]

I love the way you cavalierly suggest that we should all just give it a go. LOL. My man, that's like a highly advanced exercise. The majority of people who have been squatting for years won't ever even master pistols. Good on you for making it look that simple Hoss.

[LTivination]

WOW !!

[k4m4r]

warm up? lol that excersize is more deadly on my quads than squats!

[cnees208]

all natural baby! Hey Tuan but does that you mean you don't use protein, always wondered that? good stuff as per usual

[VirtuosoJunkie73]

@cnees208 Protein is a natural dude...

[cnees208]

@VirtuosoJunkie73 Thanks for the response guys.

[kamikaz67]

@cnees208 Protein supplements is natural... it's steroid use that's not natural.

[TheJedikai]

[yoaznnigga]

[schenkenberg13]
