lol, no - he is like 5ft4 tall, and has the hip width of a female.....not even strong enough to be a bodybuilder....just a skinny guy who bulked his frame up.
From a body building perspective they are actually a bit on the small side in relation to his upper body. He would look slightly disproportionate on stage. But if he had been suffering knee pain then that would make sense that his upper body would be progressing more than his lower half. Yes bodybuilding is objective and harsh. You pick people apart and find flaws in people who are the absolute pinacle of human form. However, for the average dude... ya bro is jacked.
@@mjhastings4534 I've always wondered how does managing the weight work with a kettlebell? For example with dumbells you can modify the weight whereas with a kettlebell its just one fixed weight
@@shroomjak200kettlebells naturally recruit multiple muscle groups in order to use them, making them have significantly higher effectiveness and versatility in comparison to a dumbbell. Check out the work by Pável Tsatsouline. His video workouts should still be on RU-vid and his Joe Rogan podcast episode was impressive. A crash course on physical and exercise science and one of the most notorious episodes where Joe actually really kept his mouth shut to listen most of the time and didn’t veer off to DMT or weed (or at least not really).
@shroomjak200 I go up in 8 kilo increments. Kettlebells usually go up in 4kg increments but I don’t want to purchase too many kettlebells so I buy 8kilo higher than the weight I can handle. Have 16kg, 24kg and 32 kg. Currently doing all my exercises with 24kg and when I get stronger because of it I move up to 32. Then it’s time to buy a 40kg. My goal is to stop around 50kg and then keep my kettlebell program and add sandbags ( big ones). Kettlebells currently serve as my complete gym. Full body workout everyday : I train for balance, stability, power, explosive power and muscle building.
I have an adjustable kettlebell. I think it goes from around 6 to 8 kg all the way up to 18 kg. If needed at some point, I'd get something like 28-32 kg kettlebell. I do train mostly at a gym though, so this adjustable is just for lazy days or when I just need some accessories home.
Been doing these for about three weeks now. Used to have terrible knee pain after my leg workouts that I just accepted. Got rid of squats in my workout and did these instead. My knees hurt so bad afterwords but like a good hurt. Can confirm my legs have new definition and my squat strength has shot through the rough and I feel stronger
That's awesome! How many times do you do this per week? And how many sets and reps? I have bad knees, too, and I'm looking to use strength training to fix them.
So your knees don't feel better...? I hoop and knees are limiting factor... Would you say that your knees feel better for running/jumping after doing these for a while?
I am in trouble as both knees have trouble lifting me. If I am on the floor I can't get up. Might try these with a chair & no weights. Just had x-rays for neck & hips.
Bulgarians would require significantly more stability. You are more balanced with a staggered stance like this but are still able to work on stability issues without having so much tension on the tendons and ligaments at the knee
@@thegreat9481 why do they keep removing my comments? But come on everyone should want a fat ass. Im a guy btw. I want my wife to be like DAMN BOI DAT ASS FAT AF
Thank you. I was an athlete until RA and when I get the energy to do a workout I need stuff like this almost as a physical therapy or rehab for my muscles and joints.
I do this but with a trap bar and I would say it primarily hits glutes. That could be some instability from using the bar, but very similar feeling to lunges just with less hamstring involvement. So I suspect the actual knee benefits are actually by way of glute activation and strengthening, rather than typical squats that drive all the force through the knees.
@@junkiedropouts3186 Yea I guess it depends on the cause of the knee weakness. Monopodal squats seem to be the king for glute med activation but if it's weakness in the hamstrings, glutes, or quads, there would be varying degrees of effectiveness of different exercises. Truth is, we're probably best off to do em all, cover your bases, pretty standard PT approach.
@@kaufmanat1Interesting, monopodal squats. So that is what it is called. I have been doing that on a balance board for years. And my glutes have been growing like crazy. I did not try to target glutes, I just did it because I love how hard it is to do under balance. And it is hard to find anything challenging to do on a balance board after a while. It seems to make me faster when sprinting somehow also.
@@appu12101 you have a point don't like to assume opening post doesn't have goals. I know the guy post a lot thirst traps in his videos. And I enjoy a beautiful site about as much as the next guy. But it gets old and annoying seeing men slobber over women they gonna fuk at all. And I know some feel it's shouldn't be a issue to express there likeness of a woman or man's body. So to each his or her own. Ppl gonna do and say what they want
Part of my work requires I inspect several parts and coincidentally I’ve been squatting down like this to get a better look at said parts, didn’t realize it was helping me get stronger knees 😂😂😂
I’ve had surgery and lots of trauma on both ankles/ calves. Can confirm these are awesome for rehab, I could feel it immediately during the exercises and later. I started doing these as part of rehab for lower back, psoas, adductors, and ankles, and I love how it feels for those. I’ve had bad knees for 30 years and I haven’t noticed any change with that yet, I was afraid it would make them worse. Great to know it might help those also.
