Lower Body Strength Training for Parkour

The Exercises Described in this tutorial are:

1. Wall Squats
2. Bulgarian Split Squats (weight can be carried)
3. Step Ups (weight can be carried)
4. Hip Thrusts (weight can be placed on your lower abs)
5. Glute Ham Raises

I tried to choose only the most economical exercises, so feel free to add more to this. We only had an hour to shoot this, and it was Ma's last day, and we didn't have a script. I also suck at talking to a camera, so I missed a lot of things I wanted to say. If you have any questions or suggestions for follow up tutorials leave it in the comments ;)

I like ur pants. Where did u get them?

[jusres]

@elgato49 wal-mart... always buy two sizes too big with elastic on waist and ankle :D

[TomewardBound]

Res, could you explain why pistols aren't a good exercise?

[jusres]

@TomewardBound Yes, I find they often develop poor biomechanics. Most traceurs won't keep a flat foot while doing them, and they'll lose neutral spine. Also knee tracking on these is often horrible. I like Step Ups and Bulgarian Split Squats better, because they are almost idiot proof (meaning any idiot can do them without messing them up), and you can add weight to them easily without sacrificing form.

@TomewardBound Someone just got pwned. ;D

@LostSpartanFilms there wasn't anything wrong with his question.

Ok now you got me thinking if my parkour conditioning training is well done or not. Lower body I got it but what about upper body and core?

Could you show or mention some of the most correct exercises?

Thanks and congrats from Portugal parkour ;)

Is it the same if I do leg press instead of wall squats?

[forterocks123]

I myself ruined my knee's through over training in Parkour and over training in P90X at the same time. out of all the joints we use in parkour the knee's are perhaps the most under appreciated, take it from me guys it's hell gettin em scoped and spending 6months re-building your body to the level it was at.
