I remember in highschool, our baseball coach would make us do squats similar to these, especially the catchers. He said that if you train your body in these positions, you'll strengthen the muscles/tendons/ligaments that most athletes avoid, and therefore can escape potential injury.

[@doug.henning.6966]

sledge56BV high rep squats are not only good for cardio but for strengthening your tendons in the knees and getting the movement pattern down. I did 10×50 hindu squats every day for 4 months and was able to do 15 pistols on my right leg and 14 on my left. Now im working up to the same workout but with pistols. Your legs will thank you in the long run

[@PawanIngale]

It makes you stronger in your knees. Try it, this movement is not like a regular squat. When you perform Hindu squats in rhythm, heels are lifted off the ground and you lift your bodyweight on your toes. Try doing that, you will feel it in your knees. The more you do it, more stronger your knees will get and they are great for endurance. Trust me, I am Indian Hindu and I have seen my father (and even the grandpa) and many other wrestlers doing this. To cut a long story short; stronger knees.

What is your opinion about this kind of movement with regard to knee problems? Lifting the heel doesn't seem like it's the most advantageous motion, if you've had such injuries. Perhaps leaving your heel down would be better? Or is there a specific benefit to lifting the heel? Thank you.

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Scott Oman lifting the heel allows some people to achieve a degree of knee flexion that would otherwise not be possible if they were to keep their feet flat on the floor. This move is generally a good move for people as it takes the knee through a full range of motion and this full range of motion can be very beneficial to keeping the joint healthy and lubricating the joint. However, not everyone May be able to do this. Any range of motion that causes pain, should probably be avoided. Full degree of flexion can also be a cheat unloaded like rocking back-and-forth on the hands and knees as we teach in original strength. This may be a gentler way to get the joints used to moving through a full range of motion before doing it loaded as the Hindu squat. I am not sure if I fully answered your question but I hope I have helped a little. Thank you so much for watching.

[@ericryser5979]

Okay, but I think there should be a variation of this where you maintain a tucked chin throughout (AKA cervical retraction) ...look at 0:43, for example...instead of looking straight forward, maintain your chin tuck so that at that point you would be looking at the ground in front of you. Tucking in the chin adds a cervical dynamic to the core stability being developed, in my opinion.

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Thanks, Eric. There can be a number of variations for this squat; head position, feet position, eye position, speed, and more. Thanks for sharing your insight.

It was difficult to begin with, took time to get comfortable with, and it was worth it because it makes the whole body exhausted, not just the legs, if done many like hundreds of them. What do you mean with "reset", hindu pushups reset but not squats?

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

At Original Strength, we teach “Pressing Reset.” Movements that restore and strengthen the nervous system. At the time I made this video (a few years ago) I did not think the Hindu Squat offered a lot in the area of restoring reflexive neural firing, like a movement like crawling does. I think my view has since changed on the Hindu Squat. It can be a reset. I hope this makes some sense. Thanks for the question.

Yet again Tim a great explanation of the basic Indian squat. As with the Indian pushups, there's actually a variety of squats (8 different types I'm told) traditionally practiced in Indian fitness culture. Unfortunately, unlike what I posted previously in the Comments on your Indian pushups video, I can't find a really good video showing the 8 varieties of Indian squat. The best I found was this one, but it's a bit slap-dash and doesn't entirely tally with what I've read elsewhere as to the authentic 8 traditional techniques ( for example, I have read that done properly some of them involve exotic arms movements, and one of them is a squat-to-kneel-to bow with forehead to ground type of movement: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3-beax7htSZZrs

Thanks for an awesome video. Very detailed! Is there a number of reps that you will recommend per set? Following combat conditioning, 500 seems the goal to shoot for. I actually got to the point where I was doing 500 in a row, but then I read some where that Frank Shamrock stated it might be counter-productive to do more than 250 in a set.

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

I know the general prescription is several hundred reps, but I think it may be better to tailor your reps for your specific needs. Personally, I have found I enjoy doing sets of 25 - very slow and controlled, trying to learn from the movement. But again, my training goal is to simply enjoy moving. I find I no longer enjoy these when I am working towards hundreds of reps! I guess the biggest question(s) for you is, What is your training goal with this exercise? What makes you feel good, healthy? I'm sure this hasn't helped you too much! I think you should play with it and determine what rep range works best for you and your needs. Thank you for watching!

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Pain is not really ever normal. It’s usually your body trying to get your attention for some reason. sometimes it can be because your brain is uncertain about what you’re doing. Since your spine is not loaded, you’re probably OK in that you won’t cause an injury. However, it is worth exploring the range of motion you can move in without causing the pain and just playing there. That may be all you need to do to relax your brain to allow you to move further without pain. as always, if the pain persist or if you’re really concerned, you should see your trusted physician.

[@TheShundal]

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Zepp Pac In the hindu squat, the knees do go past the toes. That's how it is done. There are a great deal of opinions on how the body should move. A few years ago, people would worry about squatting past ninety degrees of flexion in the knees. This was a needless concern. Opinions on how the body should move change throughout the years. Sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worst. The body was designed to move in certain ways and it did not come with an owners manual - there was no need for one. One rule you can probably follow is if something hurts, you may not want to do it. Other than that, moving in general is good.

[@boydata7895]

what's the difference between just normal squat and hindu squat? can i just do hindu squat instead of normal one?

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

박세현 Hey! In the hindu squat, there is a rhythm to how you breathe in and out as your squat. there is also a rhythm to how you move the arms in a hindu squat. But the biggest notable difference is that the hindu squat is done on the balls of the feet when in the bottom position. In the regular squat, the feet remain flat at the bottom position. You can just do the hindu squat if you desire. There is nothing wrong with that. I hope this helps!
