This is the hardest lower body exercise for me. The most challenging (burns like hell) and over time I get pain deep inside my thigh and butt from this. I don’t know how to remedy it, so I don’t do it. I wish I could see this guy for help
Me too I found that those kind of exercise need before some regression. Means before do easy esercises for glutes activation. Doing these wrong means a lot of pain in hamstring tendons and glutes pain (not DOMS but real pain)
I’ve been taking a break from squats and doing these and single leg hip thrusts because my right leg is noticeably stronger than my left. Single leg stuff is great for imbalances
Sure you can overload a weaker body part to catch it up faster but doing squats should naturally even your leg strength out unless you are overworking one leg on a seperate excercise (somwthing you do daily or for work and dont necessarily see as exercise) or squatting with poor form in some way.
I've had meniscus tears in both knees 20 years ago and can't even do bodyweight anymore because the back leg shifts and crunches on both sides of the knee while supporting. The left one can actually dislocated in that position. Can do every other leg exercise though..
My go-to exercise! With weight, with no weight, high reps, low reps, eating, not eating, sitting, standing, brushing my teeth or even flossing, the split squat rules.
Dr horsechig I've developed sensation down my legs from bracing too hard im told im not getting a fix for it How do I unlock my abdominals? Is there a routine for it?
Just do normal leg exercises rn like squat leg press extensions etc until u build the development n strength to be able to balance yourself. Or u could just throw ur self onto it without any weights n overtime of doing it ur body will build core strength to where it can balance u
So my friend just recovered from a bad leg injury and wants to build muscle on his leg is this exercise safe for him to do or is there a way to make it easier for him to perform the movement and then progressively make it harder
Do you have a video on the best way to set-up for the Bulgarian split squat? I have a difficult time figuring out how far out front my front leg should be. Help.
Strength comes for hypertrophy - myofibrillar hypertrophy. I think I get what you mean so just train in 1 - 5 rep range, with good amount of rest (above 3 mins) between sets.
@@himeshsinghshishodiya is it ok to switch between 3-6 reps of 3 sets on compounds? I've done 5 x 5 and 6 x 6 as well, but my recovery is so slow that it eventually is taxing (+ I get like 4-7 hours of sleep during workdays). Is resttime 4-5 min bad? Do you suggest doing 1 heavy set with like 85-90% of max and 2 with like 80% or lower?
@@mimoosa7390 Well, with the best of my knowledge, sets with weight above 75% of your 1 RM will contribute to your strength, so yes you can. If your recovery is slow, then yes it's better to reduce volume. Also, 5 mins rest time ain't bad. For strength training, 3-5 mins of rest or even more (if required) is great so you are ready to lift heavy again.
There’s no exact way of knowing how much weight is on your back leg. He’s just saying that you shouldn’t shift your weight to the back leg, rather focus it mainly on your squatting leg. Your back leg should just be there as a support, shouldn’t be doing any work
That guy looks like he was resting the dumbell on his thigh. I haven't tried that but it seems interesting. I presume the closer the dumbell is to your centre line, especially if it is heavy, the less sideways balancing you'd need
Guys! Go to his videos where he shows the single leg squat progression! (Kinda like a single-leg step down where you’re just lightly tapping ground with non-squatting leg). I suggest using monster walk (banded side step) to prime your glute-med beforehand/in between sets. This is the progression. You have to slowly progress and in a sense recalibrate the way your body moves.
I did these for the first time a few days ago. I did some heavy(ish) squats first. But these totally finished me off. It was like a 45 minute workout and I was toast. And I'm still a bit sore.
Hey squatU I was wondering if you need to have the bar up against your shins for maximum force production on a deadlift. I feel like if I have the bar up against my shins, my shoulders come too far forward and if I try to bring my body back to correct that, I feel like I’m “squatting” my deadlift
@Hooligoon832 yeah, sounds like a front squats style bss, I'm sure the upper back gets some benefit, I'd just rather hit my back with pulls and hinges I guess.
