Pistol squat's ugly autistic brother.

the Bible did not warn us Satan would walk the Earth and leave behind this exercise for men to suffer

>>76776090
came here to post this

>>76776079 (OP)
I don't do any exercise that doesn't have "aura"

Like, if someone opened my door and saw me doing an exercise, I want them to think "Oh shit that looks hard" not "Is this guy retarded and has his leg stuck on a chair "

>>76776167
I kek'd

>>76776079 (OP)
BSS is a meme. Just do a normal split squat or a reverse lunge with a barbell on your back.

>>76776079 (OP)
because bot, the gastronominous flexant is not relevant in this to target quad
i have explained this mch already bot bitch gpt :D
all it leads to is flabby bitchbot tits
iliopsoas must be turned off :D
>uuhoa what d-dddid you say ? bss is bullshitshit?
yes bot :D
>uhhoo bbbbbut athleano bitch bot gpt o said it werk D:
no bot, take a pillow and place it diagnol under your chin, back reverse, dominant leg to the right - posterior glute minor is completely deactivated and psoas removed from equation :D
>quads built - leverage provided above psoas so no muscle scraping on bone
>no bitch bot gpt tits xd

i can't keep my balance doing it with heavy dumbbells

>>76776079 (OP)
any exercise where you have to train each side of the body seperately is lame as hell, especially when you're doing something low weight like this which will mean you have to do high reps. so you're gonna be doing this shit for ages. plus the instability means you cant work your muscles nearly as much as you could with a normal squat. its ok if you specifically want to work on improving stability skills but i dont really know what practical application this has in the real world. just do normal squats if you want gains. maybe do these two or three times a month just as something different if you really want to.

Not killing your lower back

>>76776079 (OP)
I lean forward on wide stance squats?

>>76776595
just learn to squat with correct form dumbass.

>>76776339
I want to put my penis inside the cervix, is that possible?

>>76776079 (OP)
I do these but they stretch is painful

Bulgarian split squats are great for glute activation and to deal with strength asymmetry

>>76776626
are y'all niggas seriously getting asymmetries in your legs? i have never looked at a niggas legs and thought "damn them shits looking lopsided". niggas legs is always like the most symmetrical looking part of a nigga. i feel like y'all niggas just coming up with excuses to do this dumbass exercise. only reason you should do this shit is if you dont have access to a barbell.

>>76776600
Your spine still gets compress with "proper form" roidtranny, don't be mad at the facts.

>>76776646
nah this cap. if you have proper form, good mobility, good flexibility, and squat an appropriate weight, squats are good for your back, not bad for it. If you overdo it with the weight or squat with bad form (which most people do) you can get problems, but thats your fault for being a dumbass.

>>76776637
Nice troll.
Everyone on the planet has a dominant side and vice versa. At heavy load this disparity is increased

>>76776663
show me a single nigga with lopsided legs right now and i will concede. conversely, if your next reply is not an image of a nigga with lopsided legs i will accept your concession. images of people who are clearly disabled or otherwise abnormal will also result in me disregarding your post and accepting your concession.

>>76776154
There is not a single serious lifter that does pistol squats as one of their main exercises. Not even a supplemental exercise, people just do split squats

>>76776667
Nta, but this is more about biomechanical imbalances than just hypertrophy.
Most people have one leg/hip that's more flexible and powerful than the other.

>>76776683
unfortunately even though you claim that you are not that anon i am going to accept this as a concession of the argument, thanks for your time.

>>76776079 (OP)
AAAAAH I HATE IT

>>76776683
My left leg/glute is weaker than my right. On working sets of squats is when my left leg will start to waver/buckle on the concentric. Shit fucking sucks

>>76776662
First of all: you can't even write properly, retard. Second: your discs will degenerate regardless. Third: if it has such a high rate of injury because it's so easy to fuck up, then it's not a good exercise

>>76776079 (OP)
I'm sorta over bss
i'm up to 75lbs dumbbells now and the setup is annoying and the whole thing is too straining
if i do it at the start of my leg day i feel like im not able to give barbell squats my all. if i put it in the middle then it just kills my legs for the rest of my routine. its one of my last exercises and im fucking exhausted by the time i even get to them.
should i just stop and only swap them in if i dont feel like doing barbell squats?

>>76776586
I used to think this way, and thought it was a waste of time because you would have to do lower weights and more reps and sets etc... I started doing single arm dumbbell overhead press and sometimes that old school overhead side press just to try the movement and ended up breaking through a plateau on BB overhead press without training it specifically. The instability of the unilateral movement engaged a lot of extra muscles in the chain. The split squat you can load up with a kettlebell or dumbell or landmine or whatever and make it a similar stimulus as a BB, except you also work out the imbalances. It's worth doing some experimenting in my opinion, try it for a few weeks you'll see improvements pretty fast.

>>76776079 (OP)
I probably should, but right now I’m front squatting and belt squatting for my accessory

>>76776251

faggot female behavior, typical of zoomers though

>Why don't you do this exercise?
Because fuck yo asymmetrical exercises.

>>76776339
very cute how u try to impersonate me bot :D

>>76776079 (OP)
>Why
cause it grows glute medius, vastus lateralis and adductors bot - things i wish to atrophy a tad
and insteadi want to build more glute max, some vmo and lot more gastrocnemius
>but why
i think it looks way better than clown squat physique, aids good posture and proper walking and breathing :D

>>76778184
ok faggot, come useful at least once and tell me how to hit more vmo than vl?

>>76776079 (OP)
Because I have a gym membership.

>>76778220
>ok faggot, come useful at least once and tell me how to hit more vmo than vl?

unilateral quartersquat with internal hip rotation isometric hold bot - i told u 100 times already

keep rotating pelvis onto working leg as u hold isometric quartersquat on one leg

>>76778184

i'm more focused on calf now and glute max now bot:

Me too. Fuck.

>>76776079 (OP)
Pretty unstable and hard to load. There's just better alternatives.

>>76776079 (OP)
i do. actually my flexibility is so poor that i can't keep my balance in regular squats or other one-legged types so i can only do this one. godsend.

Because there is no fucking point until you can squat so much that you need to do those in order to progress. I'm so tired of seeing fucking pansies doing this shit with like 50s or even lower in each hand. Taking upwards of 15-20minutes to finish both legs. That shit is meant for advanced lifters who need to do single leg loading in order to progress. But yeah keep pissing away your time I guess.

>>76781378

Just tried it.
It sucks.
I'm a fat ass.

>>76778184
I just wish you could post a body that is the result of the workout you suggest

I do! With dumbbells!

>>76781378
I've never seen anyone fly so close to the snapsun as this man

People will shit on bosu ball squats and with the same breath praise bss lmao

Oh so now stabilisation and those so called tiny small muscles everywhere do matter

Challenges my cardiovascular system more than my legs. When I switch to the other legs I'm already fatigued like I did a whole set of regular barbell squats, leading to uneven quality of sets for each leg. Have to focus too much on balance instead of on the leg. Would be a great way to train my legs with my dumbells at home though if only I didn't suck at it.

>>76784707
holy obese batman

>>76776560
Upvote, I have a very hard time keeping my balance when doing this movement. Maybe it's specifically why I should try to master it, but I don't like it.

>>76776251
this is possibly the best description of an exercise quality ever

i dont do any exercise ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>>76785066
OHP looks dope but it is shit tbdesu

>>76776079 (OP)
i do. i love it.

>>76778184
And if I want clown thighs?

>>76776079 (OP)
Takes a longer time.

>>76776079 (OP)
Unironically the only lower body exercise (alongside Conventional Deadlift) you will ever need.
Lots of people sleep on BSS because they were initially mostly done by women, so (insecure) men started believing those were pointless ass exercises for women.
But actual redpilled men noticed how complete BSS is in targeting the lower body, and how efficient it is at building both muscles and endurance/strength needed for several kinds of sports.

I got a bad head injury and I cannot balance enough to do this anymore.

A chair is a table with a back.

>>76776079 (OP)
It feels good even if I'm always sore after. I might do some tomorrow, even if I need to walk a lot after.

>>76776079 (OP)
that excercise sucks, do this instead

>>76778184
Get a trip motherfucker. I never want to see your posts ever again.

I'm not a Bul-GAY-rian

>>76776586
I've really grown to like doing leg extensions that way. You max out one leg while the other rests.

>>76785232
>>76776079 (OP)
I do it and the gay guys at the gay bar I go love it.

>>76786592
>making leg extensions last longer than they already do
Are you a masochist?

>>76776079 (OP)
Because I only do deadlifts for legs and nothing else

>>76786626
I simply love the exercise.
I do sets of 50 at 80kg on each leg (unfortunately I cannot fit any more plates on my machine).
I do isometric holds at the same weight for 30 seconds at a time on each leg.
I have to strap myself down because the weight is approaching my bodyweight.
I am constantly looking at facebook marketplace to spot somebody selling an old commercial machine.
I love them so much that sometimes I even edge while doing them.

>>76776687
They're right though, the asymmetry is functional, not visual. Every pro kickboxer can watch you move on video and tell which is your good leg, if you haven't trained them up making them both good.

>>76786635
You are fucked in the head. Leg extensions hurt like no other exercise and the only reason I do them is the gains are so apparent. I have full on 3 minute painful recoveries from last sets to failure on those fuckers. Its terrible.

>>76786710
