Dragon squat session (follow along flexibility and strength)

Welcome back everyone!
This time we are focusing on this lovely skill. I think it is a great demonstration of lower body balance, flexibility and strength!
Worth noting is that in order to gain the most out of this session you should be comfortable with some of the single leg squat variations BUT the session itself can still be valuable even if you're not there yet!
It is also quite heavy on adductors/groin area so be mindful of that (hence why I added some extra adductor drills).
As always, rep ranges and duration is only a suggestion, be free to add more reps and sets if you wish but without sacrificing your form.

Excellent follow along. You have wonderful energy! Thank you so much for sharing - this is a fantastic video!

[@saphiramarz8182]

Wow this was amazing, so many new moves I've never done before. This will be a great workout to add every week, thanks for the awesome video. :)

[@kirillbaron6650]

Thank you man! Those exercises feel amazing! The breakdown of the different components of the dragon squat is done perfectly! That is exactly what I was looking for to improve my hip mobility. I especially liked the single-leg rotation movements for warm-up!

[@fesliyenliyumurta]

Hey! I’ve just finished my first session and it was great (not me, the routine). I am committed to do this routine 4 times a week for 4 months. Let’s see what I can achieve. Great video!

[@physicalempowerment]

Thank you and good luck!😊

Thanks Bro, I Do Very Efficiently Dragon Squad 😊 BTW ( Love From India 🇮🇳 )

[@indrabha12]

I just achieved my pistol squat few months back (i had gained much leg power but still had very low flexibility back then) and now have been doing this for the last 3 months once per week and i am very close to unlocking the dragon squat. This is a very good breakdown video for achieving the DS. Thanks and cheers mate🥂

[@martacliment7497]

...omg ...this is going to hurt tomorrow morning when I do it. .. far from getting the dragon squat but...such a great workout for strong hips! Thanks for this class ❤️

[@physicalempowerment]

Yup! 😅 It is very intense, I really felt it in my adductors two days after! Just take it easy and listen to your body.

[@Wubaubadubdub]

BOTTOM PART HOVERS ARE DIFFICULT AF

[@physicalempowerment]

Yup, they are 😅

[@sanamsharma8886]

Loved the video, amazing stuff, and great yogi music 😂

[@malkulaas6380]

I already loved the warm up which helped my to release pain in my legs and back too! I'm looking forward to learn the dragon squad from you ☺️

[@JDBoelter]

Excactly what I was looking for! recently hurt my upper body and have been looking for challenges to take on with my legs. thanks!

[@physicalempowerment]

Awesome! I’m glad it’s helpful. Hope you recover quickly!😊

[@anthonybisson1999]

Great rock solid tutorial.

[@zarkomatic5551]

How many times a week should you do this session?

[@physicalempowerment]

I would say no more than once.

[@bernardofreitastraining388]

Thank you man. Those exercises is amazing. Can you do a Pistol squat session? Thank from Portugal 🙏🏼

[@miriamann8798]

what would you say are the recommended rest times in between the hover, shrimp, and elevated dragon squats?

[@bekiryufka]

Hello king great video. I wonder what is the music did you used at 15:25 ?

[@HybridGym]

It looks like the work needed to get a secure Dragon Squat is worth doing regardless of the results, I'll follow your video closely! In the low postition, I feel an intense stretch in the lower side back, is this tight QL 's do you think? 🙏

[@physicalempowerment]

Thanks! Could be, yes. For me it’s always primarily adductor and groin area. I guess it’s a bit different for everyone, depending on strengths/weaknesses. 😊

@@physicalempowerment thanks Dan... I'm half way through enjoying your Passive Hang podcast ☺️👌🔥

does doing the dragon squat and pistol squat hurt the male testicles?

It is kind of funny question but no it should not hurt your testicles ​@@mathbrah

@@chrisnagorka2776 oh thank you seeing his comment i was afraid to try this routine but i guess i will do now

[@Perkeletricksterservantofrher]

isnt that terrible for your knee ligaments ?

[@physicalempowerment]

As with any exercise, if you’re fairly inactive and want to go straight into it probably not a good idea. Gradually exposing to load yes, like with so many exercises. There are no good or bad movements.
