@jaries12 It shouldn't. That's a total myth with no evidence to back it up. Your knee travels beyond your toes when you sprint, walk up stairs, perform a heavy clean or snatch, and it should when you squat.
@jaries12 That's fine. But the best strength coaches in the world don't. Just cause the majority think something doesn't make it right. The majority still think aerobics is the best training modality for fat loss.
@GTSPerformance I'm not talking about the majority of people who don't know jack about the fitness industry. I'm talking about industry professionals, bodybuilder's, power lifters and trainers etc.
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure you know what you're talking about... but the most important rule of fitness is safety first, and I along with the countless others agree that (especially in weighted exercises) the knee should not go over the toes.
@jaries12 I've been doing this for a living for over 11 years now, and I read ALOT.
Google this: Leg training myths exposed by alwyn cosgrove. He's one of the most respected fitness experts in the world. The exercise I'm demoing in the video I learned from Charles Poliquin. Arguably the best strength coach in the world.
@jaries12 on Youtube. search "worlds strongest teenager" and watch his knees on the squat and especially the clean. Past his toes with a significant amount of weight.
@jaries12 different strokes 4 different fokes... He's safe in this video. There is limit weight placed above the knee with cable pulling. He's obviously not over weight and the exercise being a pull doesn't put additional tension on his tendon.
@jaries12 Do some real research on these things before telling a highly successful and respected strength coach he's doing the wrong thing. Your knees constantly pass your toes in real life when you walk, run etc. Not training in full ROM (i.e. knees over toes) causes a weakness of the VMO area of your quads which actually makes knee injury more likely. Don't believe old exercise myths which have no evidence backing them up
It hurts a ton, so have them kicked into your hand for 3 sets of 8. The muscle is lengthening equally as opposed to lengthing in one direction that really puts a-lot of stress on the nerve endings.
Great stuff though, Charles is a gift to have in the feild of training.
The rear foot should be more square with the heel higher and the knee more locked. The purpose of a split squat with the front foot elevated is to stretch the rec-fem without having to do it with a motified split squat version 1 or 2. Something I found very interesting is putting someone on a 45 degree decline bench in a prone position with one leg in front of them, while the other one is center across the bench. Stretch the rec-fem by pushing the heel to their buttocks.
great exercise guys, keep up the good work :)

Your knees are coming way too far over your toes....

@jaries12 They're supposed to.

@GTSPerformance So, why with any other split squat should the knee be kept behind your toes... but for this exercise it is allowed to goes way over?

1010 tempo?
freddyfastfingers 3 years ago
It looks that way, I thought it might be 1-0-0-0, but he would have to go faster in order to do that tempo.
ChetCampbell72 3 years ago
Your tempo is 1-0-X-0 not 1-0-0-0.
This an accumulation exercise and the tempo would be something like 4-0-1-0 or even a 4-1-1-0, pause at the bottom or 1 and a quater.

just near lock out.
GTSPerformance 3 years ago
Do you have to lock out before starting another rep or do you just go near lock-out?
