Suspension Training - Squats

[almostconcerned]

That looks much easier on the knees. I have trouble sitting down deep in the squats and keeping my balance so my form suffers and my knees are getting too much stress.

Glad he explained that this is good to supplement you regular training with weights ect. I see so many trainers who do not expose their clients to basic weight training. This device is great to hook up yo a door in a hotel room when you travel.

There is another kind of squat you can do for a very similar effect called the sissy squat. You grab onto a pole or piece of equipment in the gym. Then you squat while keeping your body straight from your knees up. I've found that not only does this work the legs really hard, but it's good for Wing Chun for training your pelvic tilt. But I really like the one leg squats he was doing here as well as the stuff on the bosu ball. Good stuff.

@Rayzlin Derek is a great guy, he has to wear prescription lenses due to an eye disease that he has that makes him very sensitive to light.

@chinaboxer Gee I feel like an ass for my comment on another vid lol

[ot1run]

while doing the squat exercise do i have to put my feet togheter or can i position my feet like my shoulder width?

[chinaboxer]

@ot1run you should always challenge yourself by using different types of feet positions. also try one foot which increases the difficulty, have fun with it!

What's awesome with those squats is that the legs does not go past the toes which makes the knees safer when you go down lower.

[chinaboxer]

@bgcorporation very true
