Thank you so much! I never thought I could cossack squat without falling backwards, turns out I can cossack squat without any problems with the correct instructions. Much appreciated!
i just heard about these squats yesterday and started doing them. I can't go down that far yet, but at least I know what to watch for as i make my progressions so my gains will actually be gains. Great video, thanks!
Exactly what I was wondering about when I saw a demonstration video. Great rundown of the how and why to do a cossack squat. Now I'm not worried about it.
If your adductor muscles are very tight you will feel pain at the MCL. If you massage and warm up the adductors/ inner thighs then you will find the MCL pain will be reduced.
Thanks very much for video. It is very helpful and your explanation is very clear. I do Cossack Squat 10 reps for each leg and after 150 meter sprint.. I do it for 6 rounds. muscles behind my thigh and behind my knee is super sore even after I doing it for 1 month.. I do it 3 times a week. is there anything obvious that I am doing it wrong. ? once again all of your videos are super helpful and I bought KB also to follow your videos.
Hard to say without seeing how you do it, but if I’m understanding your comment correctly the soreness you feel is mainly in your hamstring - is that correct?
I feel a deeper stretch letting the stretched leg foot pointing forwards letting it stay on the floor and now flexing and pointing upwards. I feel it more in the hamstrings dojng it like you? Still fine?
That depends... There are benefits to both but the major upside on the Cossack squat is that it will also really improve your adductor strength and flexibility!
I didn't pay attention if I was making this mistake before but I noticed for the first time that on my left leg, everytime I would push on it to go back up I could feel my left adductor kind of popping and it kinda hurt after 2 or 3 reps which never happened before, do you think it's a result of potentially bad form or something else?
potentially, though sounds like you might be pushing a bit hard through the exercise. I would try backing off the load a little, by doing an assisted cossack, or even subbing out for a frog stretch, and seeing how that goes for a while. If it persists, I would check with the physio.
