How To Do The Asian Squat

[AnonymousJerkbag]

Why does the nerd guy look an awful lot lot Travis Touchdown?

[anythingnew]

Asuka Kazama does the Asian squat every time you win a matching using her.

[anythingnew]

@anythingnew match*

[anythingnew]

Remember people, if you want to do this squat correctly, you have to try to get into that position as much as possible to allow the muscle right below your calf to strengthen.

[SunflowerMarmalade]

"or unusually large breasts"

haha <3

Still can't do it though... I keep falling over T.T

[Mizlude]

0:53 "to answer these questions and more, we went to Doctor Mario." :DD

[emp29]

I bet you tried it after you watched this.

[mjhloveyou]

im too fat to fully squat OTL

[berryhill88]

@mjhloveyou I highly doubt that, try standing with a wide feet stance instead.

[smdpepe]

thumbs up if stronglift 5X5 sent you here

[anythingnew]

Asian squat is a make-shift chair lol

[maximummask]

jesus christ this is actually a thing lol

[Geekfreediet]

Haha I can do the asian squat!

[PTR131]

This is how most people squat. Only retards do the "western squat" to begin with.

[staruga8]

Kool and informative Vid.

[mzrealm]

I tried to do the Asian squat immediately after watching this video.

[DanieleGiorgino]

@mzrealm

Did you fail as hard as I did?

[mzrealm]

@DanieleGiorgino Yes, now I'm paralyzed from the waist down.

[JonathanBloggs]

I can't do this :( I fall on my ass

[TiberiusStorm]

@JonathanBloggs I had to steady myself with a chair before doing it and I do squats at the gym LoL!

[JDilla2812]

not a true asian squat since theirs not a boba in his hand

[wippudaeu]

@JDilla2812 come on derek

[ryan5439]

thx i never knew. i will def use the asian squat from now on.

[ManSittinNext2DaMan]

Thumbs up if you tried it while watching the video.

[SinfulMentos]

NAMMER SQUAT. DOING MAH RUNNNS BROOOO

[redarmyjay]

not a true asian squat since there's no cigarette in hand

[laliilovesskatersx3]

This is cute lol

[guitayrplaya]

I realize I always squat like this, and people would think I was sitting funny or something.

But it really is comfortable.

[o00o0o0o0o0o]

the asian squat is also the optimal and natural way for a pregnant woman to give birth.

In some african tribes, women do this squat to give birth, and the baby comes out quickly and easily. In america, women are laid down (for "comfort"), and the birthgiving proccess is unnatural, painful, and slow...

[esca8652]

I'm not really sure but I think that people with long legs will have trouble doing this exercise. I have fairly long legs and I struggle to keep my weight from falling back.

[chevelle1258]

@esca8652 Not sure thats true. I'm not giant but many people think i have long legs and i don't have a problem doing this.

Just adding this, i didn't know that a "western squat" even existed. When i figured out how to do a squat the right way it just felt right to have my feet all the way on the floor. Felt balanced. Smith machine screwed me though, my balance was way off. I fixed that if anyone was wondering.

[esca8652]

@chevelle1258 When I first tried it, it was with no shoes on. However, now that I've tried it with shoes, I'm somewhat balanced. Definitely more comfortable than the western squat.

[chevelle1258]

@esca8652 Yeah, the western squat looks really painful. Don't know how i would be able to squat anything with technique like that.

[Cornampoo]

All you have to do is get a LOT more flexible in the abductors, adductors and hamstrings.

[Shamsher121]

looks like he's having a shit

[Shamsher121]

looks like hez having a shti

[TheSpaindude]

thumbs up if you tried doing the asian squat and fell over after watching this vid

[xXxstunner]

I love thiss shit xD so wacked

[sealhunta]

western squat is more spiderman like and you can escape an oncomming missle attack more easier

[rbzx01]

So that's how they do it in Kenka Bancho.

[XizelSF]

Take the shoes off... Now THAT is an ASIAN squat. It's supplementary to insert rocks and pebbles under your naked feet. There's no such thing as even concrete surfaces where I came from.

[TheLoneangle]

This is the desi " T ati" position.

The most harm it causes is the straining of the penis and testicles nerves leading the potency problems over a long period of time.

ADVICE MOST MOST IMPORTANT:

DO NOT BE IN SQUAT POSITION MORE MORE THAN 10 MINUTES.

WEAR TIGHT UNDERWEAR( LANGOT),

[deepskye]

in asia, we call it squat.

[TENNSUMITSUMA]

0:45 ha ha he looks so funny

4:22 unusually large breasts eh, no wonder asian girls can do it as flat chested as most of them (non western ones) are. this means that alot of western white girls cant do this

ps i just tried this squat & it works. this will help me in the gym my next legs day. especially since my knees where starting 2 tingle when i did the squats the way i was taught in high school.

thanks asians, now all i need from yall is an asian girl (japanese if u can, but not required)

[ahmednabil]

"everybody is doing it" at the black couple , humor wouldnt be complete without the racist bit .

[kostya92]

why i cant do the asian squat?

i always fall back or just cant go down...

i can do western but it hurts my knees.

i need help pm me or somthin its important

[SKazclaw]

@kostya92 u must be noob

[kostya92]

@SKazclaw nah im good but I dont have tehhhh flexibility or sumthin wtf

[SKazclaw]

@kostya92 Everyone can do you, you just keep doing it until you get deeper. I was doing it in weight training. I'm WHITE TOO!

[kostya92]

@SKazclaw my grandma ,grandpa ,brother mother 5 old sister and my fathers brother can do it I CANT WTFFFFFFF

[kostya92]

@SKazclaw I gotta work on it got tips ?

[SKazclaw]

@kostya92 watch this: /watch?v=kawBY5p29fQ

[guywhosingsbass]

the black couple made me ROFL.

[catchewer]

Asian squat is really comfortable if you are flexible enough

[nikkk0123]

By the time the video loads I don't even want to see the video anymore.

[nikkk0123]

Youtube has sucked since it merged with Google.

[Jecxbox]

wow, I've been getting over some serious lower back issues. I try to do this squat and I fail horribly at it. Loosening up the hip flexors are seriously key for overall athletic performance. Awesome stuff here. I'm going to keep trying this until I can do this comfortably.

[Snarkie]

LOLOL oh god...this sums up my trip to china.

[shesyen]

hahahaha this is epic

[SacTu]

The reason that most foreign Asians or "authentic" Asians are able to do this squat easily vs. the westerners & western Asians is simply because of toilet seats. In Asia there were no toilets and one would have to squat to excrete feces

[johnduma98]

we do the squat cause we cant affords chairs!!!

[YouTookLaurie]

Pshh..its easy lol.

Its good when theres no tables to eat at Chinatown.

[Jonasbrothersfan86]

i'm asian and i can't do it!!! i always fall over...hehe.

[willislub]

I CANT DO THE ASIAN SQUAT!!! ARRRG

[stinex13]

is that possible?

[Darmesis]

Just tried it and found both methods pale in comparisons to simply standing. From a standing position I can kick an Asian or westerner in the head with ease and run away before they are able to get back up.

However, be aware of exactly whom you are kicking as some Cossacks are quite adept at quickly placing their boot toe to your groin from what appears to be a lazy squat.

[nenabunena]

You guys are so weird, all this fuss over a squat, having an instructional video at that! It's not that complicated, how come people from the West never learned to do it?

[zefiraelRain]

*cough* MOCKumentary (:

[zeldadude]

i guess it's because we're lazy. alot of our lives are spent sitting on chairs.. if you didn't do this as a kid it's very difficult, our ankles aren't that flexible. i can only do it if my legs are very far apart, and even then it's uncomfortable

[nenabunena]

I guess, although I sit like this even when I'm sitting on a chair, I just find it to be the most comfortable position to sit in.

[zeldadude]

because you are used to it! :D

[nenabunena]

lol!:P

[platypusmethod]

MakeABanana is correct. This is the correct way to squat, whether with a barbell, dumbells or whatever. In the west though, people haven't developed the flexibility in the hip and ankle to be able to do this.

[MakeABanana]

The Asian squat is also pretty much the proper form for doing a barbell squat since you're supposed to use your heels.

And also, in the village areas of Bangladesh (which is my home country, by the way), there are very few seated toilets there too. So you gotta squat.

[nawanilakgaP]

i did that in front of a teacher and she couldnt stop laughing

[fatcamper]

crap, im chinese, and I do the western squat.

[zefiraelRain]

XDDD ditto.

[theedman3]

@fatcamper YOUR A FAKE ASIAN

[yb600whp]

@fatcamper

fail lol

[chocotofu3]

the asian squat is ridiculous. i have the strongest inclination to laugh whenever is see guys doing it.

[pzdianying]

this is classic!! haha some context: there are few seated toilets in Mainland China.

[auzswer]

lol

[rolo1382]

funny

[Hellsing9]

ehaiuehaiuehiuaheiuaheiuhaeiha­eiu

c'mon!!! you guys are shitting me!

[hmongdood]

GOOOOO ASIANS !!

[PinoyKC]

i love this! it's funny cause i do that all the time XD

[OtakuKami]

why squat when you can set your ass on the curb...

[DeStryke51]

LOL for those with unusually large breasts..

[shadowdemon542]

so hard.!

[jew117]

haha had to try it

[Scurck]

This is yet another way to destroy the western civilization! Exterminate all asian squatters!

[bubbles09300]

ahahahahahaha!!!!!!!

[AdrianK403]

I guess I was doing it wrong cuz I either fell backwards, or when i spaced my feet out during the squat I felt an enormous strain in my groin muscles. I am obviously not a candidate for the squat-rest technique. I need Dr. Cheng Goldstein to give me some pointers with his metre stick. I do not mean that in a sexual way of course

[comperic2003]

It is because your glutes, hip flexors, lower back and hamstrings are tight. Just about 99% of westerners can't do one due to too much sitting and poor posture. Look at babies squat down. It will almost always be the asian squat.

[AdrianK403]

I appreciate the advice. But once a westerner receives his hips, there is no turning back. I admit. I have as much pelvic felxibility as 90yr old hip replacement patient. Babies have flexible ligaments still but at a certain age without constant stretching they be like me:(. That's prbably why u see 100 yr old asian people walkin everywhere while 100yr old white people are confined to a walker

[comperic2003]

It has nothing to do with ligaments or tendons. It all rests upon muscular balance. Babies can perform a flawless Asian squat because their hipflexors, hamstrings, and butt muscles have not become weak and inactive from years of sitting and poor posture. Asians live a much more active lifestyle. Hence the mobility and flexibility required to perform the Asian squat.

[mellymel17]

haha they do that everywhere in asia i went to china a couple months ago and lots of people do that haha they dont use chairs outside they just squat. if they play Chinese checkers on the street the squat the hole time haha

[d4n131M3j14]

it freakin rocks!! awesome!

[Devildriver222]

asian are so fucking gay :>

[wtfwtfwtfwhy]

you are so fucking gay.

[krayzgerman]

Omg I need to stretch more, I can't stretch my ankle/ calf muscles that much, which ever muscle it is...

[thanrose]

Lol! Silly, but now I have a video response to show people who ask how I can squat this way.

[dave1005]

panda's are arguable Asia's biggest contribution to the modern world. They are way cuter than paper and Nintendo!

[milosanchez080]

nice vid!

[ssj3brigeta]

pasta....lol

[billyisbored92]

hey, were did they say "pasta"

[bigeddyedwards]

hahahahahahahaha! im doing the asian squat from now on.
