[Rawbh]

@2:14 you look like you're about to take out your sword and mess people up lol

[888star1]

Aww, i was expecting a more patronising tone of voice.

[Techtakedown13]

[RedEyePergo]

what kind of shoes are those they comfortable.

[unwantedwraths]

Is doggystyle or reverse cowgirl more effective?

[7en6estu]

is it better to do the horse stance/ squat thang without the wall?

[7en6estu]

@7en6estu I do not have alot of space, reply quick

[lamyunholic]

Good stuff.

[christianmusicalways]

This will help me get in better shape for next biking season. I'm hoping to get the 2,000 mile range next year so I hope this helps. Of course, I have to do core exercises along with the leg exercises.

[MrBobertIsBallin]

hi im 15 well fit and have been working out for awhile now, but after i do 45 seconds to a minute of wall sits i cringe in pain from my knee caps, idk if thats because my knee caps are too lose(ive been told i need to get physical therapy for them) or is it cuz im doing it wrong?

[malsolv]

@MrBobertIsBallin that move is known in wushu as the horse stance. Try to not use the wall. and ur knees should be 90 degree(pref ably*fail spelling)ur body shud not go below ur knee level and keep both ur feet pointing straigh. (toes n knees as he said)

[MrBobertIsBallin]

@malsolv i dont use the walls, and when i go down my knees start to bend in?

[diehardcore94]

whats with the small sets?

[teddytwin8]

[adrian48824]

2:16 taking the dump position

[dikajenny]

all the tips from him is TRUE, but it will be more effective if you use a dumbell/barbells.. great video!

[duggan170693]

he doesnt know what he's talking about lol



[Theelderscrollsftw94]

Very good tips. Thank you I'm doing them right now

[vidkyng]

thanks for the tips. the wall slide for the quads is similar to Kigong training. We do an eight count down and up slowly. Heals one fist width from the wall. Great one on the hamstrings. I like your presentation style.

[dabbydi]

this is brill! i dislocated my knee and now want to get bk to exercise but cant without strengthening my knees and this is gentle but i can feel it working .

[13luvmahshoez]

[tattoodfreeek]

he sounds like bruce lee slightly, from enter the dragon, wanted him to say the whole finger pointing speach

[IzDatChick]

i thought this wud b stupid but it wasnt good job

[madaxemanb]

Is this any good for stretching the groin.

[graemebdj]

How are body weight exercises EVER gonna make your legs stronger?

Why do you stretch your muscles after doing the exercise? Surely you want to do that before to warm them up?

Dude you seriously need to stop giving advice on youtube!

[TheRealKidAlex]

@graemebdj Type that in ask(dot)com youll find out why

[graemebdj]

@TheRealKidAlex oh if it's on ask it must be true. i forgot they were the leaders in sports science

[TheRealKidAlex]

@graemebdj Aight Peace

[pr4y3r13]

@graemebdj obviously you dont understand that holding your own body wieght is like lifting wieghts... except your not adding anything

[graemebdj]

@pr4y3r13 yeah how will you get stronger by lifting the same weight everytime? they are good exercises for stability and fast twitch muscles, but you won't make them any stronger!

[SFO14]

@graemebdj by building stability and fast twitch muscles you are in fact making your legs stronger, you will be able to do more sets and hold the positions for longer periods of time. it also depends what you're training for, but muscular endurance and muscular strength are important to any physical activity so these workouts are not all bad.........also u really don't need to stretch BEFORE a workout, a functional warmup is more beneficial

[ThisIsAeroPlane]

@graemebdj yea you will you just do reps until it burns every time and you'll get alot stronger there's no real limit it will just take more reps each time

[sidewalkid]

ive been working out all summer mon-fri and i rest weekends.....at the end of the week my legs are sore since i do just cardio....last week my right leg was more sore than usual and it goes numb occasionally...is that normal?

[ColtCola6]

Really good exercises to train endurance but its not as great to build strength with these kinds of exercises as it is with weighted squats, deadlifts etc. I just wanted to point out that endurance is not the same as strength since there are very many of you who thinks so.

I really like to do these on my GPP workouts but I never do them when I train for pure strength and explosiveness.

[lucylikeslollies]

i figure skate so this hopefully will help build strength in my legs so i can jump higher.

[DAAREN5455]

hahaha hes like chandler from friends

[IVSCORES]

NEED SOME ADVICE

I HAVE VERY SKINNY LEGS AND I NEED SOME ADVICE I WANT BULKY LEGS

PLEASE HELP

[Brutaka921]

@IVSCORES There are 2 ways. The fast and easy way, and the slow and dedicated way. The fast and easy way: The Gym. Do heavy squats, (squats while holding dumbells/barbells). And other stuff at the gym. And the way I do it, the slow and dedicated way. Martial Arts Horse Stance. Send me a message if you want to know how to do the horse stance (THE CORRECT WAY!) Also, swimming. Makes your legs stronger. Running and jogging is good too. And squats and lunges are great.

[KillerKrieg]

Also, I want to say, thank you again for teaching us how to do these exercises PROPERLY. it seems too often, these videos will teach you an exercise to build a muscle, WITHOUT teaching you exercises to support that muscle, which is dangerous and can lead to serious injury.

[KillerKrieg]

It looks like your right leg is a little stronger than your left. Just sayin'. Thanks for the tips!

[narutocursemark]

OMFG im stuk with like bicep exercises. The Arm Curl. Y? Cuz most vids require the gym (Which I wuld go to but my dads busy), and others dont build muscle. Im like omg giv me a dumbbell Exercise! I want pecs biceps triceps Deltoids Abs and my legs. Jeez

[bradthelawdexter]

good vid, no need for the subtitles as he speaks clear english!

[sharadeth]

Finally expertvillage has put up a video long enough to actually teach something, not those one minute videos where the first half is spent saying "Hi im (insert name here) and im going to (insert lesson here) on behalf of expert village" P.S. these really do work, had to do them in PT after my ACL reconstruction

[chazytone]

what fuckin hip hop dancer dances like that? weirdo

[NinjaR1994]

This video is wierd and the guy!!! XD

[MrSquipa1]

When i am doing this excercises can i then run faster? sorry for my bad english i am from french

[ChsSami]

very very very biggener stuff

[millarc3005]

thx for the vid

[xx211pat211xx]

CREEPA....

[AquaDemon666]

yeah i can do a minute 30 sec horse stance bithes ;)

[StayHigh86]

@AquaDemon666 I was knockin out 35 min horse stance back when I had a good deal of endurance strength in my legs... I think 5 minutes is my max these days without specialized training beforehand!

[13q28]

haha :d

[RABBLERABBLE100]

@AquaDemon666 i can do 2 mins horse stance :P

[tsi2568]

I think your video is great. Many stuff in there, Horse Stance, everything. Like it.

[ShawnChalanT]

good video for people who may have bad knees

[TDLakaDavidLover]

will my legs get thicker doing these exercies?

[jamesononepiece]

2:09 - 2:15 lol

[Christopher711]

Heck , for the hamstrings why does have to be a ball. seems lkike anything you could put your foot on would work.

[itstoolatenow]

Well the ball moves, therefore you have to stabalize it. Which gives you a better work out, using a wider range of muscles.

[vikimeltz]

thnx a lot dude......

i hope it works

[chinguidinsky]

that hamstring excersize with the medicine ball is a killer haha

[iceymanjack]

will this help my footwork in badminton

since you need good footwork for good defence

[joka232]

THANKS MAN!!!!!!1

[goodluckman12]

thx man, i'm impressed.

[conork022]

what would you do if your 14years old and want good legs for football (soccer)

[FenerMadridARM]

dont lift leg weight trust me from experience... my legs are very strong but im shorter on the bad side of this...best thing todo is get ankle weights and go running... it will help endurence and make your theighs extremely strong

[ChiTownBlackDragon]

Running with ankle weights will also lead to knee problems as the additional weight will pull the lower leg away from the knee joint. I would suggest getting a weigthed vest instead or lifting light weights at high reps. I must admit, I played college and some pro football and have lifted weights for years. Never have I heard of anyone shrinking as a result of doing squats.

[FenerMadridARM]

nahh i didnt do squats i did leg press which my trainer said that might be the problem of my growth

[dynamicz108]

Play more football - its simple

[meehai]

single leg squats,lunges, for speed hill running

[MDS34179]

This exercise will help in every sport, improving jumping, running and strength overall. Hope this helps

[xNYxSkullxGangxNYx]

yo tell me why my mans talk like william shatner,like b 4real,dont he?

[madness1996]

woah thx for the advice man..

[tomsega]

Great techniques if you're in a hotel room etc. It won't do much in comparison with cycling or a leg press, though. Although Nadal constantly does these sorts of exercises.

[lolsmith06]

This guy is obviously one of the few decent trainers on Expert Village.

[pgparadigm]

Thanks, very concise and informative.

[potnude]

are these good for kicks?

[Loyal2law]

Yes. Really good for kicks. It greatly helped me do my kicks, especially doing the kicks in slow motion, to condition the legs in kicking, doing feints, & gaining leg strength as well.

[Steroids95]

hey man i have a question and it would be cool if u tryed to respond......if i was to do these exersizesevery other day, how long would it take to see improvement.....and another question, does this help you explode off the starting line lets say if u were running a 40 yard dash??

[HannahMiriah]

could i do this for soccer or would it not help?

[bdmntn07]

i play badminton and need much stronger quadriceps for jump smashing. These are good leg exercises but they dont offer explosive strength, so im gonna try jumping reps from that squat position...

[kevmanev]

my calfs are like sparrows legs

[sf2explus]

i have good upper body and skinny legs

strange thing is when i was inmy teens i played alot of football and natraully had medium built legs but some how im not playing foot ball and mainly training upper body and have skinny legs

[Gr33nBlaze360]

my legs r fat and out of shape i need to work them more

[280az]

I would hate being fat

[123675656565]

I'm trying to get stronger legs for skateboarding

[FBIHfudbal]

i dont do the hand strength because i play soccer and this helps building legs muscle and u dont get tired fast

[Zezima852]

[mrmurda]

[pascalown]

[FiXRUppR]
