Squat everyday Day 1749: 3 hours sleep 

Thanks man

Glad you like them, if enough people like them I’ll just leave them there. for me even when I watch documentaries. I love having subtitles there. It just makes it more enjoyable for some reason.

I like them. I often need to have my phone on silent and unable to use headphones so nice to have

I love when they join me.

Oh man it’s the best thing ever prepares the ankles the hips like no other exercise I’ve ever tried. I’m gonna do it every day now.

Hahaha I know

There you go that’s saying something. Lots of people have found benefits doing that program.

u stopped doing them tho after program ? or still maintain the same movement not juas as much?

@@io-rj6sk depends what my program cycle is, but I'll normally have split squats as an accessory after a big compound movement like a normal squat. The extra depth and stretch seems to really open my hip flexors and work my quads. Nordics though I've sadly gotten lazy they're really taxing on my hamstrings, but Im aiming to get back to them because they're really good.

@@yov023 so good for warmup and also an after accessory movement. il giv em a try

Hahaha

Cheers mate

You like em? Should I keep em?

@@IvanDjuric300 I'm just big on subtitles as I have em on for everything I watch so I like em. I enjoy it so I will say keep em, but if you get any backlash for it, then it wouldn't be the end of the world for me. I'm watching either way

Let me know what you think man.

​@@IvanDjuric300 So i tried this split squat before my regular squat routine. I did only 2x10 non stop and after that my quads were burning and i was starting to feel tired in the knee joints so i stop and went with my regular squats. My squat routine is this - no warm up stretching, no cardio - i ride bicycle to gym. First three sets are the warm up for me with increase in weight each time. So first set i was feeling a bit weak - all joints and muscle were not tight. Second set was best as i remember in few months, everything tight, good force, ect.. And the third + rest of workout (i do 5x5 of 80-90 % or 3x max + 1 x 80% with pause in bottom) was pretty much the same. BUT i managed to add extra set and i think its more of placebo effect, since i told myself constantly in mind - hey today is different, you doing different stuff and it should work out for the best :) Will try few more times since i got a lot of looks from the females in the stretch area while doing those split squats :DDD thanks !

That sounds good, man but when you have to work a nightshift, I’m not sure how you manage that. I think in this situation it’s either train under slept or don’t train it all.

@@IvanDjuric300 honestly you'd probably be better off resting instead of training, given the high frequency. :D

Thanks man

Love the name, I honestly only seen that movement from Goku lol

That’s a lesson that I learnt after a few years of training without a warmup. You’re not gonna have a good session. It only gets worse and worse as you start to kind of climb up in the years. You have to warm up simple as that.

There you go. I’ve tried 1 million and one things as a warmup to squats but split squats feel so good. They are the best.

Interesting. I’ve never tried something like this before.

I’m sure you’ll like it

Appreciate that man. Glad I could help.

Nice man. I hope to get to that level.

Nice man. One session and I already feel better.

I’ve had lots of ideas from the comment section. It’s not all me man. It’s a team effort.

@@IvanDjuric300 oh yes

Yeah for sure I think any lift it’s better to warm up then not, just the way the body works. You have to get certain joints moving before starting to load them really heavy.

Oh man I don’t know how you would cope with not sleeping for multiple weeks in a row. For me I have these nights and then I get back to normality fairly quickly and I will follow it up with damn near 10 hours of sleep the following day so I make up for it but weeks on on end with no sleep is torture.

Nice man. Great idea.

Hahah I know so cute

Do the best you can man. That’s all you can do.

Ahh crap. Ok good feedback. I’ll keep that in mind

Hahahah cheers man

Thanks man. It’s a long story but essentially winter made me do it. My feet were getting cold. Cold feet tight ankles made lifting really hard. The oly shoes were at least warmer. I’m still very weak feeling in them. But the mobility is better for sure.

@@IvanDjuric300 Yeah that makes good sense. Can take super long time to loosen up the joints when it's cold! Nice looking shoes too.

Respect

Respect

Hey man. I don’t know much about this but from just thinking about it right away I think it’ll be very difficult to do this and go to work have a family and all the rest of that stuff. Because right now the whole family sleeps at the same time and we’re awake at the same time. Roughly speaking. So I think from that point of view I think it would be a bit tricky to be awake while they’re asleep. But I’m curious to hear what you have to say about that. Maybe you’ve made it a little bit better than I make it sound.

@@IvanDjuric300 All good bro, I'll make a video for you about this on my channel soon 👍

Good spot man I love how you notice that because that’s exactly how I feel. Right hip is tighter right hip gives me pain. It’s been like this for years. At least with these split squats I’ll be able to address this effectively and compare side to side.
