Yes... I realize I cut my feet off in the first set... my apologies! I was switching back and forth between different camera positions to get a level shot, and different places to squat to capture my feet. I ended up standing on the wrong spot and cutting off my feet and not noticing this until I was editing. I was on my third night of probably 5 hours of sleep, so my brain wasn't working great, hence the mistake. This wasn't intended to be a tutorial but I still meant to capture my feet. The good news is that there is not much going on with the feet... they start flat and the heel comes off the ground as you squat down. However in the second set, my right foot is visible and you can see a better view of the full squat here • Calisthenics for Aesth... at the 3:00 mark.
Also, you can see a clean rep here.
Deep knee bend full view- • Deep Knee Bend | By M...
Deep knee bends are an Old School conditioning exercise with a long and rich history in many Physical Culture traditions. Some of the greatest Physical Culturists of the 20th century used them as a staple leg exercise to build incredibly durable legs and bottomless "lung power". It was also used among grapplers, and still is in many circles. These can be more stressful on the knees when compared to traditional BW squats, but that can actually be a good thing, since this will result in stronger and more durable connective tissue. That being said, always build up slow.
As for the ability of these to build muscle, they certainly can, but they are not the best choice. However, plenty of old timers used this exercise to grow their quads, and I've included a few anecdotes that are worth reading.

These and bodyweight squats are great as you age. This is the stuff that keeps you in the game. At 61 I'm in better shape than most my age and this is how you keep active and age properly. There's no escaping the the aging process but that doesn't mean you have to sit on the couch and wait to die. Good stuff, thanks for posting.

i can vouch for this exercise. I am from India, my grandpa was a wrestler back in his days. he used to train in traditional Indian Akhada (Akhada basically equals to your regular MMA or Boxing gym). he was a mud wrestler. he told me he used to do 1 thousand of these deep knee squats every day when he was young. he kept doing these exercise until he was 95. he lived till 102 and let me tell you, up until his final month, he used to walk everyday to local market and bring daily groceries to home. he never let anyone of us drive him, he was soo much fit up until he end and his walking was also a lot faster. he also taught me this exercise and i do it everyday. everyday 250 reps of these and 100 reps of Hindu dand.

@@strummersheroes7972 no sorry... He's not the one from the book. Although I haven't read the book but the reason you're finding many similarities between could be because he or the character from the book wasn't the only once who had characteristics like that. Most of the wrestlers from that generation did the same excercises and went through almost same routines. Most of my grandpas friends lived well oast 80. I don't think he ever got interviewed not to my knowledge. He never passed on his knowledge and wisdom publically... He gave it to his family. One thing which was most prominent was that he had a routine for the whole family... Men, women, children or even any guests, no excuses, no days off, 365 days a year, no matter how sick you are ... Whoever was in the house they had to wake up 5 in the morning (you can go back to sleep after if you want) and do atleast 10 surya namaskar, 10 baithak, 10 dand and 5-5 minutes of 2 breathing asaans which are anulom vilom and kapalbhati. I remember doing this routine for as long as i can remember, same with my father, my grandma said when she married to him, he made her do this from the first day onwards into there married life... Same with my mom and same with my wife. He always said no matter what profession you are in, wether you are a housewife, a kid going to school or a professional working in corporate office, these 30 minutes will take you long way in your life. We still follow this routine and i am teaching my kids too.
Honesty, simplicity, and scientifically-backed. This guy is a godsend.

Good to see you realising how powerful this exercise is. In starting it will give your knees feeling of tightness and movement will lack fluidity and elegance. But with time this exercise is the best thing you can ever do to you leg strength. It also engages calves and soleus and with time increase size of calves. Our Indian wrestlers do this exercises in 1000+ reps with super calorie dense diets and rest. Secret to their strength

@@Kboges yeah I am from india (specially from Haryana) so I have seen this since my childhood in open air i along with my friends used to do it until whole body starts sweating ( apart from this squat (BAITHAK in regional Indian language ) we also do SAPATE( Indian burpees) which gives full body workout. So yeah first some warm up some running 3-5 km depends on weather 😂also. Then sapate dand(Indian push ups) baithak(shown in your video) until it sweats and we start counting when muscles get HOT and pumped upto 100*5 or 250*2 types. I haven’t worked to super high reps like our great wrestlers do But yeah they do it over a period of 10-15 years since childhood and regularly condition their knees with oiling massaging and stretching with super heavy 5-6k calorie diet(minimum). So they become super strong and super stamina (long bouts of wrestling) I personally follow your channel because of unique training style you pick up from different training cultures and bring to us.

A very great explanation also I like how you point out the importance of what the action to raising the heel to add onto a deeper squat is beneficial in the natural function of what develops the legs. Brilliant
I incorporate these into my routine and I’ve noticed a difference in the endurance of my knees during my 5-7 mile stand up paddle sessions.

I got very very into doing Hindu squats, working up to 500 straight in less than 15 minutes. I can say this: they greatly increase wind and leg stamina, my legs, particularly my quads are genetically immense so they did add size. However, I can run long distances and my quads will grow (high ratio of slow twitch fibers). The caveat is this, definitely do not do that type of volume daily!!!! 2 or 3 times a week is more than enough. My hips and knees definitely started to show signs of overuse.

So good to hear, Cowboy! Thank you for sharing your experience!
Without knees over toes guy (Ben patrick) my knees would still be popping and cracking like rice krispies. He introduced me to the deep knee bend philosophy that you are discussing here, as well as the philosophy of training tibialis. Has boosted my performance by magnitudes because I like to do tricks when I jump rope, but you need some very stable knees to do so for long periods of time. Great video coach boges!

I've been using these to condition my somewhat creaky knees for Platz-style barbell squatting (which is probably the single best squat style for quad hypertrophy). This is purely anecdotal, but these have helped me a lot with both the movement pattern and with knee health/condition required for this style of squatting.

100% on both points, Marcus.
Backwards uphill walking does absolute wonders for your knees, so if you have too much pain doing squats, try to walk backwards uphill until you get strong enough for squatting.

I'm glad you mentioned lifting the heels. It really wasn't apparent in the video until the very end and then only one foot.
Just yesterday did the Indian variation of this (baithak), I'm starting to feel pain in different parts of my leg. Now I'll definitely include it in my workouts.

To relieve pressure on the knees this exercise can be performed by keeping the bend to a 90 degree angle. Don't lock out at the top of the upward movement or the downward movement. Aim for a continuous fluid motion. Slight elevation of the heels also helps with balance for those who find knee bends with flat heels awkward.

There's also the matter of your hip joint. Your foot placement could be different. Most women are anteversion, while men tend to need a retroversion posture.

@@harshitshukla2108 Thanks for asking. I did kickboxing training for about 9 consequtive months, 3 times a week, adjusted well strenght wise after 2 weeks, still my legs were fried for a week after the first session. I wasn't used to 500-1000 squats a week. But the more challenging part was to learn to pace myself and get better at cardio. I thought i was in decent shape starting out oh boy was i wrong. I would really recommend 3 sets of 60-100 squats if you want to have the necessary conditioning. Also, for energy, i had to incorporate more carbs to my diet which lead me to actually gain mass during that time. I am happy enough with my competence now to quit kickboxing to follow a cut with strength training and swimming.

My stamina is lowered to such a level that doing bodyweight lunges and squats leave me gasping for air. All my strength in lifts are gone and it feels like I never went to the gym earlier at all. Was looking for a way to increase my stamina and I happened to find this video.

Its awesome that joint / connective tissue training is seeing a resurgence. My advice to those who have really bad knees: Start by sitting on the bottom step of your stairs for a few minutes, twice a day. It mimics the deep squat and its very supported. When that's more comfortable focus on getting up and sitting back down. Within a few weeks you'll be ready to start training with movements like the one in the video. Love your content, keep up the great work.

That's an interesting suggestion. I've recently been getting back into squatting motions after having my kneecap patched back together, and have been very cautious for quite some time about popping something loose. Gradual build-up of connective tissue is right in line with my needs.

Once you reach the point at which your knees are over your toes (not past) then start to bend at the waist and you will be able to go deeper without your knees going past your toes.

Similar to knees over toes. Has helped me immensely in last 6 months
THANK YOU 🙌 When trainers started saying that it's bad to have your knees go over your toes in a squat I was taken because everything I read up to today has said the opposite. I tried doing the new version of squats and I almost damaged my knees. As soon as I started doing your version again I saw improvement in everything. Thanks!

Great job making it clear; the purpose between varying rep ranges. I hiked up through Yosemite to the top of Half Dome last month. When planning the trip I thought “I do heavy squats and I’m sure that’ll be plenty for training up to this hike” hahahahaha oh man my quads were ripping off my legs by the time I got the the top. It was an epic and successful day, but I couldn’t train legs for over a week after that. Gotta do high rep squats for sure if I plan to do that again.

Dude exactly! I had a very similar experience when I was lifting. It’s easy to forget that all these approaches are tools for a particular outcome. When you select the wrong tool for the job wow you certainly know it!
I've been doing Hindu squats for many months now, between 450 and 650 in 29 minutes every other day. As you say, build up SLOWLY. If you play around with minutia of form, you will find equal burn in your glutes and hams as in your quads. I use them as main part of my warm up prior to heavy sandbag work. Like running but my knees hate running and love these!
