rly liked how straight-forward and to the point this was. zero bs.
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.
Sounds like wisdom!
Honestly the more I study Indian work outs, the more it impresses me that they were honestly on the same levels of the romans if not slightly superior when it came to understanding fitness routines

Indian here, we used to do these squats as a punishment in school. Now I can barely do 10 lol
Great Teacher Onizuka (as well as Zack Fair from FF7CC) brought me here. Both are my heroes.
Thanks for the video
And here I thought I was the only one who knew about onizuka

Yeah, Zack Fair 😄
When I started reading the comments my immediate thought was “All aboard the Kengan train!” 😂
I stumbled upon this channel and I'm so glad. Great simple useful information. Great work.
Thank you much respect. For keeping it original ❤
Thanks for the reply Tim, your breathing exercises are great by the way.
I went through all of the videos on Hindu squats and yours was by far the best. True and not just cheap praise

I love watching your channel. You have so much knowledge. Thanks man.
Thanks for commenting!
I really like the comparison to the jumping pattern. I often explain the coordination to clients but use a kettlebell swing comparison. Thanks for the info nugget!
Thanks for contributing to the conversation!
This is fantastic, thank you. Been looking for good exercises for knees.
This squat is great for healthy knees!

Thankful for this channel. Thanks tim
So glad it’s useful to you!
Thanks man. That was quick and very useful video.
Awesome, Good to hear!
I just tried these with deep breathing. They felt great! I lift pretty heavy and get stiff and achy. Going to do these every morning for variation and functional flexibility.
They give back much more than they take!
@@OriginalStrengthSystem Just subscribed. Thanks. I'm 48...joints are fried from years of heavy lifting. Looking to back off a bit on that and incorporate your style.

Thanks for the encouragement!
Is really nice to do the exercise👌!
@Adz K this days I don feel nice my back then I do It on my livingroom 😁👍
Awesome shirt man
Starting the grind today thanks for the great explanation
You got this!
Thanks joe
try it this way 15 hindu push ups followed by 15 hindu squats.. then 16 followed by 16 and 17 by 17 .. that's the correct combination of Hindu push up "" Dand "" and Hindu squats "" baithak "" , the exercise routine is called ""Dand Baithak ""
As if you're taking off your invisible pants
This is how you take off your pants? Weird.
Decent visual cue
Zen says There are 5 great exercises to get total body fitness. 1. Sun salutations .2 pull ups 3. Squats with a dumbbell 4.sprint 5. Meditation.
Preach, my friend!
@@OriginalStrengthSystem,Thanks for your kind words. Swami the jalkamal. Himalaya.
Nice!
The great teacher onizuka sent me
Gonna do it starting today
Worth it!
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.
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!
nice and god work
thank you sir
Hope it’s helpful
Cool video... I've been working on these recently. I was looking for a video to explain to a friend what they are. This video is concise and to the point. Thanks.
I'm working on hitting 500 in 15 minutes. I'm up to 300, which makes my legs feel like noodles.
George Grothusen Keep up the awesome work. You'll hit your 500!
George Grothusen
Why would you even want to do that? No, I mean it; is there a particular benefit from doing that?
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
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.
you look like the guy from we're the Miller's haha. thought that was cool
I keep falling forward while doing this.
Try placing a board or wedge under your heels. That may help tremendously.
About to do 500 of these
Same here🤣….love it!!
Thanks. Suggest doing them without shoes as we do when we train in Brazil
Thanks, and I agree. I do both, but barefoot is best for overall effect of the exercise. Sometimes I just get "lazy" and forget to take off my shoes!
I do it in a reversed way, with arms straight when going down and throwing them back when standing
Good shit
Great teacher onizuka brought me here
Thank you for making this video < 10 minutes of talking ❤
You're so welcome!
It's like using a rowing machine, while standing up.
And agree it is a close second to the Hindu Push-up. And according to some, the Charles Atlas Push-up is number three, making the Earle Liederman Push-up number four. Which is the opposite of the Atlas Push-up; you put your feet on the chair, hands on the floor. At least among push-ups, as such.
Thanks for giving me some research material!
@@OriginalStrengthSystem -You're welcome!
Its similar to the gait pattern for the stance leg, where the power is coming from
True, good eye.
Zack Fair brought me here :(
I like performing these with my heels elevated on a plate.
I do Hindu squats with a jump. I love the results in strength, stability, explosiveness, and cardio. I superset them with Hindu pushups.
Yes! That is a fantastic routine!
Kengan Omega brought me here 🤣

not 20 seconds in and i can tell this is it
It is compulsory to wear supporter during exercising hindu squates
I leave that to the individual!
my own interest in Hindu squats brought me here

Awesome! Thanks for coming by!
T-shirts like that used to be cool as hell.

Hi Tim, have you heard of Matt Furey and his Royal Court of 3 exercises, the Hindu squat, hindu push-up and the wrestler's bridge? Care to share what you think about it and would you recommend it for someone who has no time to workout save for these Royal Court exercises?
Ashiq Amin Thanks for the message. I am very familiar with Matt Furey and I'm a fan of his Royal Court. I think one could do well with these three exercises. But if you can, throw in some resets like marching or cross-crawls.
Thank you Original Strength for the reply, okay I'll definitely try the cross crawls and marches.
At least I was doing THAT one right! Though admittedly not as smoothly.
We all keep getting better. Smooth comes!
Not familiar with the 'Reset' term as it's used here. What does that mean? I've never heard anyone using that term in training before.
Gary Sellars Hey. We are talking about a neuroligical reset, as we describe in the OS movement system. It helps restore the body.
@@OriginalStrengthSystem Thanks...asked that under another comment thread. Like your stuff. Will research more.
Here to help!

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.
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.
When you go down, you breathe out and while you go up, you breathe in. That's what I was taught. What you suggested looks like reverse abdominal breathing.
Thanks for sharing
You exhale while going down that's the right way
The arm swing, AND inhaling on the rise, keeps this from being a quad-dominant knee stressor.
John Coffin I know you commented a year ago, but could you explain how your breathing could possibly affect anything
@@kamdencosgrove3598 There's more of the lung behind the arms than in front. With proper rib movement you cant pitch forward or arch the back.
@@kamdencosgrove3598 Try reversing the breathing. With the motion of the ribs, and the shift in balance that breathing involves, you wont get the pitching forward of the back that most squatters do. The ballistic arms swing also give a backward balance to the torso.
I did this and my knee and ankle feels numb after 4 reps 😂
Joe Rogan brought me here
hahah have a go at the view count of this view go up just cause rogan said he does them, that dude has so much impact on the culture its insane
You said to rise on your toes as you come up? I've always heard it's best to keep the heels down for squats.
it depends on the type of squat, and what your body will allow you to do at the time. For Hindu Squats, the heals do come up - that is how it is done. For "strength training" squats with barbell, or other method, the heals do stay down. For sissy squats, the heals also come up. For resting in a squat, either is okay. Hope this helps.
Matt Fury made a killing teaching just this and like one other move back in the day on DVD. hehe
Matt has my money. Indeed
Kengan bought me here.
Curious to know why you don't do it with your heels staying on the floor?
You could, but then it technically would not be considered a Hindu Squat.
I'm SOOO disappointed that the opening music wasn't that funky theme from Friday the 13th Part 3. It started out the exact same way.
😅
Does this need to be slower and more controlled? Like a normal squat or fast like you did it? I can't do it fast yet. I'm dealing with pelvic floor issues and someone recommended this.
It can be either, especially at the speed that you need it to be. Just honor your body and do what you can do as it will allow you to, and don’t force anything.
zack fair squats ahah
do we have to raise our heels when we squat down? or feet flat on the ground?
If you were doing the Hindu squat, heels raise up. If you’re doing a regular Squat, the heels stay down. However, you are free to move in whichever way your body will allow you to.
Hello. When I’m doing the Hindu squat, my heels don’t lift off the ground. Is this bad? I’m getting a deep squat with good posture...
It’s not bad. It’s just not a “proper” Hindu squat. It’s still a great squat though!
I wanna do these but I can’t see my self doing this in a public gym I’ll just do at home
As long as you do them, that’s all that matters.
AJA Cortes brought me here💣
If you have the flexibility to keep your heels on the ground throughout the movement, should you?
Not if you are practicing the “Hindu Squat.” Nothing wrong if you can keep your heels on the ground, it’s just not really a Hindu Squat when you do.
the squats are no joke ...when my kid was going out for dance and cheer I tried patronizing her getting her ready by having a squat off...I did loads more because she just doesn't do much .. so I did a bunch but god damn the next day I felt like someone stabbed my quads over and over again ..I couldn't move for a week smfh lmao
Squats do tend to help one discover their quads!
some say that the knees have to be in line with the toes not to harm knees.. in this case the knees pass the toes// what is your opinion?
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.
