How to Perform the Lateral Squat
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 лип 2016
- The lateral squat is the entry point into all lateral-based strength training. At first this exercise can be challenging, but patience and repetition will teach you how to sit into the hip while maintaining an upright torso.
It is hard to notice upon first glance, but an offset foot position allows the body to sit back into the hip to a greater degree. Once the bodyweight version of this exercise is mastered, try adding a dumbbell in one hand or the goblet position.

Thanks for the tip about stepping slightly forward. For the full side squat tutorial watch Elvis in Las Vegas!
Would be helpful to demonstrate more reps and then change sides so we can observe correct form in progress (activate mirror neurones!). Thanks
Thank you heaps. The staggered stance is a very helpful tip that has enabled this exercise to feel right.
I agree. The staggered stance feels so much more natural and fluid. Glad it was helpful!
Thank you very much. The instructions and demonstrations in this video are clear, and I look forward to getting stronger.
Great to hear! Thanks for checking out the video and feel free to reach out anytime with questions.
What's the difference between normal Squats and lateral?
@@that_nitish In lateral squats (side squats), you move toward the side (or alternate from one side to another).
@@Lovely_Maria_T and what should we do? I mean which one to do?
😮😮😮😮
Good to see someone who knows what he is talking abt, why do u have such criminally low views ? And can u make few 10 min workout videos on aspects like warmup,mobility, strength, injury prevention for runners
There are a few videos with longer workouts on there. Also on my website www.garrettmclaughlin.com.
great and precise. subbed. thank you.
Thanks for checking it out.
Thank you!
Thank you, Mia! Reach out anytime with questions.
This was very helpful 👍🏿 because when I first tried these my knees were hurting 🥴
Happy to hear it helped! I see that a lot with this exercise the cues in the video surely help.
Thank you very much sir. I was struggling with this exercise like hell. I was never able to sit on my heels. I was doing a lot of training for my thighs but was not able to do this and was very down. I saw this video and was immediately able to do it, and have regained my confidence. Thanks again.
Happy to hear it helped you. It's often one small tweak that makes a huge difference!
@@gmac922 Yes
Is this the same as a cossack squat?
The cossack squat will allow the foot on the straight leg to rotate upward so you can sink deeper. A very small difference but it is different!
What if you feel it on your glute does that mean I’m doing it right ?
The glute (hip abductors) are very active when moving laterally like this so it's not uncommon. As you lower the muscles of the groin (adductors) are lengthening which usually creates a stretching sensation. But the glute is providing a lot of the strength and control.
should we feel both quads and glute while doing this
Usually you feel the quad/glute of the leg you are loading into but the adductors (groin) of the straightening leg.
Thx man
good
good
good
Does it train quads
Yes! Quads, glutes, and some hip adductor flexibility in there.
I always injure my knees with these idky
I hear a lot that people feel some type of knee pain with these. The common recommendations are to make sure the feet are turned out a few degrees and straight forward, aligning the knee with the 2nd toe so this also knees to be out and not forward, and then more of a hip-bias by sitting back into each repetition. See if those tips help!
@@gmac922 tysm! yes the video actually helped me but being only 19 with knee pain scared me a bit xD
I only feel pain when performing hack squat i dnt have any problèm in other exs
@@lydiajkessi3128 I would definitely check your form an position on the hack squat. Maybe something is off.
