Aug 19, 2010 - Hey i tought maybe anyone knows if these excercieses are good for me to gain muscles to absorb my impact. cause i practice parkour & free running and that invloves many jumps from higher places and since a while ago i got this feeling that my quadriceps are not enough trained. So are these good for me or does anyone have any other workouts or suggestions to do?

Aug 2, 2010 - I have worked up to doing 3x50 of this exersize 3 times a week. I plan to increase the reps also. try it, it works. it burns fat and does build muscle and stamina. It is also great for ligaments and tendons in the ankles and knees. The problem with weights is that so many ppl pile on the weight and their knees ligaments cannot handle it. Do lots of these first and then start on the weights.

Jun 23, 2010 - @kobasica agree. they can get a little stronger but not bigger

Jun 20, 2010 - Go lower. 90 degrees or even lower. This will hit your butt muscles as well as your legs.

Jun 19, 2010 - @titans091052 it wasn't a dramatic improvement but I felt it. and I didn't just do two sets, I did what I said a total of 4 times, so 8 sets. And btw I'm 13, and now you're thinking "oh..pfft that's why he sounds like an idiot", but what I did did help me for track. And my legs weren't completely rebuilt, just a lot less sore by the third day

titans091052 Says:

Jun 19, 2010 - @Spocksbrother That's an exageration if I've ever heard one. Doing two sets with light weight will not do that much for you. It also takes way longer than 2 days for your legs to rebuild. The only way I can think of to put an inch on your vertical and drastically increase stamina in 2 days is by improving your technique, or by taking speed. So, either you're lying or a drug addict.

Jun 9, 2010 - doesn't your heart have to work harder if you hold themup over you're chest like that?

Spocksbrother Says:

May 29, 2010 - I put my backpack on, filled it with 30 pounds of books then did 30 squats. I rested for a minute then did 40. It works wonders if you do it correctly. My vertical increased an inch in two days and my sprint endurance was crazy.

May 23, 2010 - @seekerseven Whoops, wrong video

seekerseven Says:

May 23, 2010 - Excellent squats! Might wanna work on the walking tho...

May 3, 2010 - @kobasica just to say not allways for very heavy or over weight people there own body weight is the best at the begining.

Apr 28, 2010 - this artificial voice forgot that we'r humans and we cant calculate this degree and that degree all at the same time while working out

mlbm13 Says:

Apr 2, 2010 - @a6m13n4 heres my suggestion, if u are a complete beginner, get a timer, and set it for 1 minute, do as many as you can for that 1 minute, if that's too easy, increase time, too hard,, decrease time,
