what's your stance with the knees? I always tell my clients to keep their knees to never go past their toes. you didn't really address it much

[joshone]

@dholijeet I definitely agree about making sure the knees do not go over and past the toes. When the focus is on fully pushing the hips back with the chest forward and shoulders blades squeezed toward each other, the instance of the knees going over the toes is pretty much a non-issue. Another method to include in the case of keeping the knees behind the toes, is to also slightly raise the toes, during the exercise in order to avoid the heels rising off the floor.

hes doin it all wrong

[joshone]

Hmmmm....do tell. I would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks :-)

Hi, Roy. Be sure you are leading with your hips, as you perform the descend of this exercise. Your hips should be the first thing to move, in order to set the tone for performing this bad boy safely.

Also, be sure to drive your body back up, by pushing through your heels, and not the balls of your feet or toes.

If you've had past knee issues, or continue to feel discomfort , I would check with your medical professional, and make sure everyting is up to par.

Keep me posted :-).

Swapp01, be sure to stand tall on the top of the movement. Be sure to focus more on squeezing your glutes up top, in order to open your hips. You will find that your legs are straight; however, with your glutes squeezed tightly, you won't have focus as much on "locking" your knees.

your stance is too wide, and you're not squatting deep enough.

Nice, only yesterday I got enough motivation to start getting myself back in shape as I have let myself go after some personal issues.

I found a fat to fit sorta pdf thing and the 1st exercise is this prisoner squat, so yesterday I done 30 of them with holding in place at the bottom. This video is excellent for me because you cover exactly what I wanted to know which you jsut cant learn in a picture.

How many reps and sets do you recommend for this exercise?

[FanUltimate]
