Tu eh brasileiro, neh brother? Como o tempo a gente reconhece nosso sotaque em qualquer lugar ;-)

Good job, but i can't see your name anywhere in this page...

It does need some progression, in terms of level of difficulty.

Best luck!

i find its really hard to keep my hips level, no lateral leg strength with me

Fantastic!!!

i do these from a sitting position and then try to stand up completely. i dont use the hand weights, but they actually make it easier for you to balance.

[SaiyanSpiritSeven]

I cannot believe this guy. He said the first thing you do when attempting a one-legged squat is to use hand weights and stand on a bench. What a dumbass. Take the video down dude, it's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

All of those attempting squat, just stand up from a chair on one leg and work yourself down to a shorter and shorter chai till you're coming from the ground.

It's a great functional strength exercise and I would recommend it to anyone.

@SaiyanSpiritSeven it's "practice drill for fighter" not newbies.

[SaiyanSpiritSeven]

@86kinky86 So you're saying I'm a newby, because I say that proper form is the key, and you shouldn't rush into using weights right away... Right, I'm a newby. My Masters in Exercise Science would have something to say about that. Practice half baked ideals elsewhere.

[86kinky86]

@SaiyanSpiritSeven Yeah, I guess you're right. 

[bdumaguina]

@SaiyanSpiritSeven but the weights act as a counter weight right? so it makes it easier? I can't say the difference really when I do it with weights or without. What I do feel is my shoulders fatigue with the repetitive forward raise of the dumbbells every time I squat. Just my 2 cents

[IrishSpaniard]

Thanks, now I know how faggots do single leg squats. keep your back straight and your free leg parallel to the floor pussy.

[burtrumbean]

@IrishSpaniard lol! he is such a woman when it comes to this isnt he.

I was doing 3 sets of 5 (took me a month or 2 to build up to that) after beach runs and ended up hurting some ligaments in my knee around my patella...thinking there is a lot of stress on the joint when you get past 90 degrees.

What do you think?

[GMANJIMAN]

when the knee passes infront of your toes there is alot more strain on the patela region. keep the weight back and drive through your heels. hold weights out infornt of you to keep stability. still working the same muscles jst keeping your knees behind your toes. im sure you will feel better with this technique.

[BillTheButcher13]

keep them quads strong

[paulanka2000]

@DJFrshtrx so your saying it caused you to be more prone to injuring your knee? it can be a little hard on your knee if you do not center your leg properly, if you drop your weight too quickly... so control your weight on the way down, if you go fast its much more stress on the knee. also stretch out your legs before and do standing squats to warm your joint and muscles up. you can also do a knee strengthening exercise , look it up if you cant find it pm me.
