Weighted sissy squat (BW+20Kg)

[Michel0555]

Looks kinda awkward. But who am I to judge.

[javagirl69]

How you could even walk after that.....;)

[acekingie]

DAT FORM

[scarecrovv]

@pikken01 why don't you make a video and show all the dickheads how it's done, sissy squat expert.

[heat4yoass]

You're supposed to be looking up to do sisyfos squats. It will make you emphasize the back more and utilize the training on your quads a lot better.

[pikken01]

Again, not a sissy squat. Does anybody actually know what a sissy squat is?

[nikolatesla08]

ummm your knees are going past your toes bro......lol j/k. wtf is the point pf this sissy squat?

[batboyjhg]

I still do not understand how this is humanly possible.

[Ajeebhai1]

Very good man- nailed it.

Pure old school exercise - real emphasis on upper

front legs, thereby eliminating any glutes involvement.

**Also YouTube: Vince Gironda Sissy Squat.**

Dumbells are a good starting point, demonstrated very well here by uploader.

[alexjones234]

anyone here use this as their main quad builder, or is it more of an assistance exercise? for example, done after a bigger movement like back squats.

anyone had good results with this exercise?

[corporacionmonstruo]

@alexjones234 i do 2-3 sets of back squats and then a superset of back squats+ partial low squat( with constant tension holding a disk)+sissy squat+leg extension+ partial leg extension and that´s all for my cuads that day.short.intense.efficient.

[mycurrentevents]

Wow. That's tight!

[1elastik]

impressive,great job man

[jershowers]

Good try dude...just work on not letting your knees from falling past your toes...knee problems around the corner if you choose not to correct this!

[x1Corona1x]

@jershowers You do realise that what you're saying is physically impossible on the sissy squat.

[Hashashin8]

@jershowers the point of sissy squats are to isolate the quads....so this exercise is inherently bad for your knees

[jershowers]

Good try dude...you just need to work on keeping your knees from falling so far past your toes!

Knee problems around the corner.

[onetao8]

@jershowers HAHA u don't get it good try though dude :)

[TheIncredibleWade]

God damn!

[bbbbbb222222]

excuse me... what the fuck are you doing?

[tempac91]

I read the title of the video and I thought there'd be a guy squatting in a tutu and then going "oh la la"!

[nickmayer152]

yeah tried thjese with no weight and felt major stress on the knees going all the way down like that

[MultiTrollHunter]

I've seen enough stupid comments about knees. In easy form for the noobs: The knee joint is a hinge joint, so saying that fully bending the knee will cause damage is like saying that fully opening a door will break it. There is no difference to the hinge wether you open it half or fully (in fact the knee joint is under more stress at half). Squats will NEVER cause a knee blowout, what will is an impact to the side or if balance is lost and the weight is shifted to the side of the knee

[malibu35072]

BEAST!

[cskang08]

good form

[hithur]

all the nubs claiming "knee destruction" have no real idea of what they are talking about. the angle of the knee joint is not much more than a regular full squat, it just looks exaggerated because of the reclining back and the angle of the ankles. if you have no prior knee injury and have decent strength in your quads this should be no more dangerous than a regular squat. i am speaking from 11 years of bb experience and alot of research on many trainers like gironda

[curlyies]

@hithur would an anterior cruciate rupture qualify as a knee injury? shud i avoid them because of it? i do hav good quad strength.

[viciogames]

how the fucking hell youtube got the song name?

[rubplas1]

Great Balance!

[doubled1617]

fucks your knees up if u have bad knees

[doctorweston05]

why the fuck does it matter wat song its is.fuckin sucks.why would u even put this on youtube

[jimmihshs]

what is that song?

[jimmihshs]

what is that song????

[HotRod6]

wow free standing and weights, nice

for everyone talking about blowing out knees:

vince gironda did this exercise a lot and walked fine until he died before turning 80...if u don't know who he was then u should probably stop looking up bodybuilding exercises

[Noib]

what kind of shoes are you wearing?

[CaneFu]

I don't care what BS other people want to post here, this movement is unnatural and hard on the knee joints. There are numerous better and safer ways to work your legs than doing this stupid and unnecessary movement.

[sfsTrader]

yeah i have a bad knee and that would make it blow out, i would never recommend anyone to do sissy squats.

[xo1tom1ox]

@CaneFu Really? I think Vince Gironda would disagree. This is one of the best leg excersizes of all time from the 40's and 50's. If you have seen his physique you would be doing it to. Try it out or is it to hard for you?

[paperboy204]

my back! my back! my back!

[nbraden22]

nothing sissy about those sissy squats. nice balance, I wish i could do that

[dopiceee]

it is not a knee destruction..i found that if you extend your knees forward the stress is more on your quads..if you keep knees with finger tips in a vertical line the stress is more on glutes and hips..so the choice is yours..you wanna nice round ass or big quads..

[SaisandMileena]

Lmao knee destruction

[ikislav]

ouch my knees hurt

[voncoolio]

Easy way to destroy your knee joints. Great 'Knee destruction' tutorial.

[indigomuscles]

perfect form. all the best to you and thumps up!

[jinlo21]

omg! that dude is in the matrix. i had to look for like 10 seconds to see what the hell was holding him up. it was him. damn he's good.

[airish571]

There is no danger to your knees with proper form on this movement and he uses proper form. And yes, when i do these, it's as hard as it looks but like any exercise, you get stronger and used to the movement. I put the dumbbell on my chest the old school way and use one hand for balance. Good work Mos.

[jacklibbb]

that looks hard

[craniumbizarre]

Nice form.

[musiclover1958]

Wow, fantastic! I can't do them with weights yet and I have to hold on to something. And I can't even get down that far! Fantastic!

[Keyboardbeatz]

Good luck with your knee surgery.

[Aeropher]

you go onto every single one of these videos and say that, wtf?

[3liftdoc]

quickest way for an awesome knee injury. keep up the exceptional work

[hayden0790]

ur balance is exceptional!

[terminator734]

sissy squats really bad for your back even with proper technique

[reverendcutterx]

Bloody hell, that doesn't even look possible to me!

[ss4vegeta1]

Holy batman respect.

[scarecrovv]

best fucking sissy squat i've ever seen

[CoreySpringer]

@scarecrovv Agreed!

[pikken01]

@scarecrovv Then you don´t have a fucking clue on what a sissy squat is, and nor does the 42 dickheads upping you up

[burx18]

what ever country your from if they had a limbo team you would be the captain

[saiprasadutube]

what's the music playing in the background?

[mmaarrkkoodd1990]

sun goes down

[5hruglife]

seems like a pretty clumsy movement, can't really load it up

[sinfuldavy0]

You don't need to load up. its a finesse movement. Its not how much but how

[LawrenceRanada]

Excellent depth, man.

[matthouse078]

damn

[lilo6666]

Perfect!

[hulkout666]

You must have really good balance. The only way I can do squats like that is to hold onto something. Very solid work!

[jdnamb]

Damn decent effort, mosbrecka! Best I've seen on Tube, including an "instruction" from so-called "pros". LIke the fact that you didn't lock out at the top. Side view didn't show width between knees at botton of move. Add a little hip thrust and you've about got it. These are real muthas. What do you normally squat? Have these improved regular squats? Again, good move.
