Interesting variety Eero, by the way,for how long period of time should we do the mobility routine you gave us?(i do it almost daily).will u make a new one that focuses on other parts? No pressure, No hurries.
You literally deserve some sort of award for this video. Especially when it is paired with your blog post with all the information regarding the different kinds of squats you performed in the video! Thank you so much for your attention to detail and hard work. Tremendous video!
You are definitely top tier when it comes to someone to trust with the information and training being provided. Thank you for all your help. Couldn't ask for a better mentor😊
The toe pistol squat is tough! Thanks for these ideas. I will definitely incorporate these into my leg routine.... By the way, where was this video shot? I noticed all the palm trees.
Thanks for teaching us how varied a simple exercise can actually be, and that one can really get to enjoy that same old routine by performing it each time a little bit different! What a beautiful place to shoot this! Thanks, man!
Hello i wondering following your fitness but could you please how is the way with knees problem I never passing your program and your training is very good to me, please your advise
Omg I just watched your other video. Now this 25 squat variation. I'm gonna need cables tied to my body. You have amazing strenght. I'm gonna have lower body tone in no time with these workouts Thank you. Va
what are you using to record your videos? It looks super pro!!!! Been following for a while now! THANK YOU, u helped me work out when I had ZERO motivation
Btw you movement was it called 20x contain OAC hspu progressions if yes then i would buy it. Because you seem like a guy who knows very good much about progressions on different exercises. And programing.
They are advanced moves. They are only bad if there are existing imbalances in the legs or all heads of the quadriceps aren't strong enough. Nothing wrong with leg curls and leg extensions, they just aren't very useful for athleticism but great for rehab
Have you read a book called Convict Conditioning? It showed how to get in great shape using body weight exercises. Do you do Hindu Squats or Sumo Squats? Thanx.
Must say you've got a nice body balance. In the curtsy squat you land on your knees first and i land on my toes first😂 looking forward to improve my balance. Cool variations of squats :)
These types of squats promote a good balance and stability and hit multiple leg muscles and glutes as well as the entire body. I see that you can maneuver different squat positions with a good range of motion which makes it possible to do. It feels like when you are done with all of the exercises, you have gained more mobility throughout the movements. I do prefer the pistol squats or one-legged squats because they are more challenging to do. I will give it a try. Best regards, sir. Keep doing the good creative work. :)
Haters gonna hate but Eero you look more amazing every time you post WOW!!!!! I can only dream of being as flexible and stable as you, Truly amazing your exercise routine is the bomb!!! XOXO!!!!
Why you don't go fully low when you do the (basic) squat ? When I do squats I go as low as possible and then I go up is it wrong ? And I have another question also. Can I do hundreds (100-200) of squats frequently or I screw up my knee. How many and how often can/ should I do squats ?
You can't go much lower without changing the mechanics of the exercise. ATG squat is actually a different exercise compared to the normal parallel squat and will emphasize different muscles. It's not wrong, but it's different. I would recommend to train both. Leg training is far more complex than people think. 2: it's not about quantity but about quality. 10 slow and controlled repetitions produce better results than 1000 half-assed squats. Knee injury is not a concern if you stay within your limits and focus on good execution. Focusing solely on external criterias (I MUST do X amount of reps or X amount of weight) can lead to an injury though.
+SLAMTFHMK Haters gonna hate, you should be really bored to discuss the veracity of a statement on UA-cam. And very frustrated to fail his workouts I don't know. I responded because I'm not a liar so I won't allow someone to call be that way. And I don't like foolish things like that but I shouldn't forget that talking with fools is losing time... UA-cam crap.
Hey vahva fitness!! Appreciate if u could answer this. Im going traveling soon, and im a "gymmer"... Tho abroad there's gyms but im on a budget and im feeling calisthenics training. Uve been one of the ppl to introduce and show me this side of working out too! Jeee:) buttt,,,, the question is but! I do love ma roundness in this hump.. Is it possible to save that roudness, maybe even get more results, to thy but, of just own body weight training? :) im also veg so not eating meat but beans n stuff is in ma diet!... Appreciate if u can answer this nut 🐵
Hi! Yes it is possible and bodyweight training actually works the best for glutes in my opinion. Here is a full bodyweight only workout for the glutes (good for definition and roundness): ua-cam.com/video/jJ8rKC49PDw/v-deo.html
Yes they are safe as long as you stay within your limits. They actually prepare the knees for many athletic pursuits like sports, martial arts and dance etc. Single leg training is the best type of training for knee stability.
One of the best squats I've tried is the Kung fu squat... but I don't extend the arms like the martial artists. The trick is just to keep the muscle working all the time by keeping movement. Common squat people rest when stand up, if someone wants to press the power button on the legs should try the kung fu squat + horse stance
Aladdin works the glutes and different parts of the quads (outer head). Sissy works many heads of the quadriceps. You can find details for all exercises here: www.vahvafitness.com/25-different-squat-exercises/
Sir i am asking that my legs are so skinny i have tried so many exercise but very little progression is done .By doing this exercise can i have a good toned legs . Everyone here laughs on my legs and teases me .Please suggest some best exercise for someone like me . And i am football player too so i want a Muscular legs badly . Please help me
These exercises will certainly help to build strength and size in the legs. As a vegan you should get enough protein as long as you eat beans, nuts, lentils, seeds etc
Make sure you go slow and controlled on each rep. Full range of motion all the way down and back up. To a slightly bent knee starting position. Focus on the contraction and squeeze. Going slower helps keep good form. But it gives your muscle time under tension. So it contracted for a longer amount of time. That also helps build muscle. These are things I focus on and it works.
Why do not you put special lessons for beginners I advise you to put sections in your training and each section in its stages I will be very grateful for your efforts and thank you We are waiting for you
"Kung Fu squats" are actually "Wushu squats" and are called Ma Bu. It's the horse rider position. You need to spread your legs a little bit more, keep the feet parallel and push the knees outwards at the same time! It's kind of a sumo squat (adductor squat) but your feet point forward. It's pretty harsh on the knees though, especially if you have tight adductors... Other than that, if you want to perfect it from a wushu practice point of view: keep your fingers together, as straight as possible, and bend the thumbs. Then try to keep a 90° angle with your wrist while straightening your arms forward! But I know you weren't going for a perfect Ma Bu but more for a different way to hit the quads, glutes and core at the same time ;)
Thank you Thomas, after this we have actually gone very deep into the world of kung fu and qigong. You can find our "episodes" and documentaries here: www.vahvafitness.com/real-kung-fu/
Awesole variations you got there Eero💪 Some say the pistom squat isnt safe due to the rounding back at the bottom position. Do you think this as well? I wasnt sure about it and switched to bulgarian split squats😅
Thanks! I don't think anyone has actually strained their lower back with the pistol squat. Rounding the back is only bad if you have weight on your shoulders like in the back squat where your spine has to stabilize the weight. In the pistol squat there is none
VAHVA Fitness i had basicly the same thought :) Its like wheb sitting as deeo as possible in a squat ( without weight ) the back is rounding as well. Thx Eero
That might actually be a weak spot on the hips or the lower back =P (Pistol squat actually gives you a very good transferable strength to all kind of squat related exercise, even for guys who are training mainly on barbell squat , being able to do the pistol squat actually teaches your body how to generate more strength from your foot. Also , since the mobility of your leg (the strength that can hold the range of motion of the leg throughout the full exercise), your leg will actually generate more explosive power. That will actually allows you to build up the foundation of the explosive pistol squat. Hope you will perfect the pistol soon ! But the most important thing is to be safe and be fit =) Good luck.

U missed my favorite... Archer squats... But all in all, really an informative vid... Tq... Imma try including some in my leg routines.. 😊
Great video! Did you study ballet at some point? Your movement is incredible!
You literally deserve some sort of award for this video. Especially when it is paired with your blog post with all the information regarding the different kinds of squats you performed in the video! Thank you so much for your attention to detail and hard work. Tremendous video!
Thank you for the kind words Jackson!
I just did all of those squat exercises. That toe pistol squat is brutal! It's the only one I couldn't successfully complete!
Good job, it's probably the toughest leg exercise to master!
You are definitely top tier when it comes to someone to trust with the information and training being provided. Thank you for all your help. Couldn't ask for a better mentor😊
Awesome squat routines! Never realized there were more great ways! Will definitely stretch out everywhere!💪😀👍
Thank you Maurice!
Thanks to you I was able to increase my leg strength from selecting the exercises shown in this video. With much inspirations, keep it up!
The toe pistol squat is tough! Thanks for these ideas. I will definitely incorporate these into my leg routine.... By the way, where was this video shot? I noticed all the palm trees.
This is from Australia, here are quite many palm trees.

I really appreciate you my brother 🙏
Few I've not seen, one legged squat with your leg out to the side is a really killer mate, thanks for the new movements.
It's tough and great for balance. Thanks!

Awesome! This video was filmed with Sony A77
Thank you for the free Muscle Up programming guide it helped me achieve both a ring one and also a bar one.
Happy to hear. Muscle up is a beast move
Yeah it was mostly done gradually building up to 5x5 on the pull up and dip transition part of it.
Btw you movement was it called 20x contain OAC hspu progressions if yes then i would buy it. Because you seem like a guy who knows very good much about progressions on different exercises. And programing.

Thanks again. :-) I can do these exercises at home or at work interval.
Nice, good luck!
great video ! I have heard sometimes the aladdin aka sissy swuat is very bad for the knees along with leg curls and leg extensions??
They are advanced moves. They are only bad if there are existing imbalances in the legs or all heads of the quadriceps aren't strong enough. Nothing wrong with leg curls and leg extensions, they just aren't very useful for athleticism but great for rehab

Are single leg exercises really safe to do since a lot of pressure and instability is being imposed on the knee?
Yes they are safe as long as you stay within your limits. They actually prepare the knees for many athletic pursuits like sports, martial arts and dance etc. Single leg training is the best type of training for knee stability.
How can I progress into the pistol squat while making sure Im doing correct form?
I wouldn't do those
Super super vahva fitness tahank you perfekt 😍👏👏👏👏👏🤝🌹
Bro down u have leg and body flexibility exercise
Is this pool on top of the bldg you live in. Man, that would be freaking awesome to have.
Yep, it's the best place during a hot summer!

Great!
Sir i am asking that my legs are so skinny i have tried so many exercise but very little progression is done .By doing this exercise can i have a good toned legs . Everyone here laughs on my legs and teases me .Please suggest some best exercise for someone like me . And i am football player too so i want a Muscular legs badly . Please help me
Yes these exercises would help and make sure to eat high protein diet(1-2gm per kg) for max muscle gain
yeah i am slowly doing on it but i am a veg. So suggest some good veg.Protein diet
These exercises will certainly help to build strength and size in the legs. As a vegan you should get enough protein as long as you eat beans, nuts, lentils, seeds etc
yeah i am adding more things of proteins and ty i will do hardwork
Make sure you go slow and controlled on each rep. Full range of motion all the way down and back up. To a slightly bent knee starting position. Focus on the contraction and squeeze. Going slower helps keep good form. But it gives your muscle time under tension. So it contracted for a longer amount of time. That also helps build muscle. These are things I focus on and it works.
Please do these in colourful tights. Pretty please.
He made it look smooth and easy, until i tried the pistol squat, it's mega hard to do
music theme ?

No Cossack squat? I guess that would be too easy for this guy!
more

25 variations!! who knew?? wonder if I can get up to 10 reps per for 250 reps total?!?! giving that idea a go
Good luck!
