  • Much better and safer than full squats that can wreck your knees.

  • You will find that after some time doing the half squat, your knees will be strong enough to do the full squat much more safely.

  • I was always shown to go a lot further down than that, and to raise up onto my toes at the bottom position.

  • Most people I know who did the full squat (including me) ended up with injured joints so I favor the half squat. You need do more reps to get the same effect but its safer.

  • For beginners, sure, but if you adapt to them properly, full squats are good and do not wreck the knees. The key is not rushing and being conscious of your health.

  • "hindu squats develops real power than weighted squats"

    Because squatting 405lbs. on an olympic bar doesn't take power...I'm all for bodyweight exercises, i do them as part of my training, but don't discredit weightlifting all together.

    No offense, but that guy doesn't even look like he trains.

  • i have trouble doing full hindu squats without losing my balance. maybe its a good idea i throw in these half squats alongside the full?

  • This is easier for me. Can't get low like I used to...

  • @kraftsportNO Check out with the MUAY THAI they would crush the legs of any powerlifter or body builder by smashing their legs .

  • LOL!

  • "Lean martial artists are much more stronger than powerlifters and body builders, because they have functional muscle that endures."

    LOL!

  • Lean martial artists are much more stronger than powerlifters and body builders, because they have functional muscle that endures. Getting this type of muscle is much more valuable for overall health.

  • Full squats provide a greater endocrine response both hormonal and metabolic.

  • I agree HBG. Slower eccentrics reduce reliance on tendon elasticity and make the tension more conscious, relying less on instincts like the stretch-shortening reflex.
