      When I wrestled for a bit in high school we had to do these movements as well as lift weights but not daily, an A B week split 3 days and 2 days a week what are ur thoughts on this would it have been better to just do these static hold and explosive movements??

    My dad used to make me and my brother do horse stance for 5,10,15 minutes when we got in trouble. We got in trouble a lot. Not sure if it's genetics or horse stance as punishment but I have very strong legs and have hardly ever had injuries. Good foundation movements like these are crucial for anyone beginning to train or looking for muscle confusion with its multiple variations.

    VERY good sound advice.
    After a life time of doing heavy squats, tae kwon do and also being lopsided and having fractured my back twice as well as having several discs completely missing I would highly recommend doing all of these exercises BEFORE taking up squatting.

Recently joined a gym and have been carefully getting myself into better shape. Just did weighted squats yesterday for the first time in several years and have always avoided squats out of concerns about injury.

    I'm training calisthenics for every body part seriously and I tried holding the horsestance the way you recommended. I held it 2 minutes with my legs shaking uncontrollably as I was reaching the end and my legs just gave up, my quads were so exhausted I couldn't even walk normally for a while.

  • @stephenfinch5070
    @stephenfinch5070 Před rokem +38

    I have been practicing different martial arts since 1986 such as karate, Chinese internal martial arts and now I currently practice Brazilian Jiu Jitsu as well as body weigh and kettle bell exercises. Tonight I tried the horse riding stance for 2 minutes that is one tough exercise. Additionally, I tried the hollow position and held it for two sets of one minute. Again a tough exercise. So, I will continue with the exercises and hopefully I can get these down and move on to the tougher exercises. Thank you Lee

  • @markratcliffe3530
    @markratcliffe3530 Před rokem +22

    The horse stance is a great isometric exercise that many people can integrate into their training routines, but most people will never possess the mobility required to perform exercises demonstrated in this video such as pistol squats, and frankly they don't need to.
    I agree that CrossFit training is probably best to avoid due to the onset of fatigue interfering with subsequent exercises and no recovery time in between. While I rarely perform weighted squats myself because they don't really suit me, I like to perform deep bodyweight squats as a mobility drill prior to lower-body exercises such as dumbbell walking lunges.
    When I'm training other people to perform weighted squats (provided they possess the mobility to do so), I always emphasise the importance of abdominal compression. If the vertebra unintentionally flexes, extends, laterally flexes or rotates, then they need to focus more attention on their core development.
    Abdominal compression is a factor that's often overlooked when performing axial loading exercises, including squats, deadlifts and overhead presses. Even people who possess adequate mobility for performing these exercises should be made aware of the core musculature and breathing mechanics associated with abdominal compression as well as the biomechanics associated with correct movement patterns.
