When I wrestled for a bit in high school we had to do these movements as well as lift weights but not daily, an A B week split 3 days and 2 days a week what are ur thoughts on this would it have been better to just do these static hold and explosive movements??
Awesome!!! I was like "what!!" But I love to see people who are able to correct themselves!!
I'm into sprints and jumping will that improve

My dad used to make me and my brother do horse stance for 5,10,15 minutes when we got in trouble. We got in trouble a lot. Not sure if it's genetics or horse stance as punishment but I have very strong legs and have hardly ever had injuries. Good foundation movements like these are crucial for anyone beginning to train or looking for muscle confusion with its multiple variations.

That's the best "punishment" I've ever heard of! Your dad is a smart man. Your punishment actually benefited you. Really smart man.
Horse stance time out!! That's a good one, thank you
It sounds like you had a good father😎
Hows progress?
VERY good sound advice.
After a life time of doing heavy squats, tae kwon do and also being lopsided and having fractured my back twice as well as having several discs completely missing I would highly recommend doing all of these exercises BEFORE taking up squatting.
Good comment
Count me in! Going to start this routine and others you've posted. Thank you!
this is exactly what i've been looking for. thx for the tips
I'm encouraged. My next adventure!
Really enjoy the straight forward explanations that make sense.
Makes me feel they are all in reach with a means to an end. Thank you!
You're welcome
Love the advice…thanks so much
I will be visiting your catalog, as an excited new subscriber should. Your video is priceless, speaking ones like myself, who have dealt with injuries, and now workout without lifting iron. God bless you and your family Coach.
God bless
This all seems intuitively true. Very glad I found this video I've been looking for an alternative to lifting.
45 years old and have been working out for 30 years and it is embarrassing to say but I never thought of lower body workouts in this way. It makes complete sense and I am going to implement the first two exercises this week. Thank you immensely for the video.
These are plyometric type exercises for legs, if I understand it right. Upper body can also be trained in similar way.
Hey wassup. How's the process going?
Thanks
Wow, thank you for sharing this!
It’s nice to see to knowledge combined with concern. Great video.
Absolutely loving these ❤ This is my life now 💯 % Thank you so much for sharing your vast knowledge to the 🌎 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I have been practicing different martial arts since 1986 such as karate, Chinese internal martial arts and now I currently practice Brazilian Jiu Jitsu as well as body weigh and kettle bell exercises. Tonight I tried the horse riding stance for 2 minutes that is one tough exercise. Additionally, I tried the hollow position and held it for two sets of one minute. Again a tough exercise. So, I will continue with the exercises and hopefully I can get these down and move on to the tougher exercises. Thank you Lee
You're welcome
Absolutely loving your content, would love to see some nutrition related videos in the future.
Glad you found it valuable
This guy's is golden he's right on his approaches.
I'm impressed Sir!
I do calisthenics a lot. I believe that our own body weight is enough and doing a lot of stretching for flexibility. I don’t care about big muscles, I care about being well rounded and doing dynamic movements. I have been doing a lot of what is in your videos for yrs. You’re a real trainer!
Perfect
Big muscle is just for actor, not for daily life.
Hi when I was a younger trainer I used to train for size and strength now if at 61 years old I changed my mind about that I need to get leaner and fitter great job on the video thanks 💪
True
Sure thing
This was EPIC!!!
Amazing LW-PRA!!!!
I'm training calisthenics for every body part seriously and I tried holding the horsestance the way you recommended. I held it 2 minutes with my legs shaking uncontrollably as I was reaching the end and my legs just gave up, my quads were so exhausted I couldn't even walk normally for a while.
When I did 10 minute I could barely walk
I learned a lot from this video
Thanks so much for this advice. I’m 56 and never been big into weight training but recognize that I have weakness in my glutes and back. Recently joined a gym and have been carefully getting myself into better shape. Just did weighted squats yesterday for the first time in several years and have always avoided squats out of concerns about injury.
Glad to know my intuition about this was correct and thanks again for providing the information and fitness parameters I need to progress!
Daaaamn. I'm up for this challenge.
First time coming across one of your videos. Really great info. Excited to learn more.
good stuff , just found your channel , if I had you as a coach when I started lifting weights at 10 and distance running at 30, I'm sure my knees would be way better than they are now at 70. your students are fortunate to have your wisdom.
Our 70 year old students are making good progress
@@LeeWeiland 76 yr olds also?? How long for each exercise?
Up to 83...programming will be unique to everyone
More difficult might be 5 seconds
Easier but mental challenge 5 minutes
This is valuable info! Thank you for being so generous and caring to share, for free! We have been given bad info about everything - diet and exercise - which has led to suffering and death! Incredible!
We live in the matrix
My workouts really feel different after watching your videos. Love watching your videos 👍
Awesome! Thank you!
I am an Olympic lifting coach. I am also open minded and willing to try different methods. Thank you for this. I will try them on my lifters.
This gets me motivated🔥🔥💪💪
Wow I’m gonna start doing this I always new deep down that I lacked foundational strength thank you for this advise
Great channel. Good advice, from someone who actually lives it.
👍🏽 thank you, young man
That's really great advice. I added nordic, reverse Nordic curls, one legged knee over toe squats, tibia curls, straight leg weighted calf raises and bent leg calf raises... that seems to do the trick to bullet proof my knees and legs...
Great video! I can’t wait to try these techniques tonight. Thank you !!
Perfect
New here.
I've watched 4 vids prior to this 1.
This 1 has opened my eyes to correctly being in proper form.
Great vids so far.
Looking forward to he pushup vid if you have it.
Ty
Welcome aboard!
Thank you Mr Lee.
I subbed just on this information alone. I have a lot of work to do.
📝📝📝
Thank you for this very informative video 🙏🏼
Underrated channel
The algorithm needs to know. Thank you 🙏🏾❤️🤸🏽
You're welcome
I'm now 66 yrs old, arthritic back with poor flexibility. Will try and incorporate what looks like amazing exercises for overall body strength. I only wish I discovered this before squatting with barbells leading to triple hernia surgery at 60 yrs old. Thank you Lee for motivating me in this direction.
Very interesting. Enjoyed this video and looking forward to others.
Thank you for doing this.
You're welcome
This video has really been an eye opener for how to approach finding physical balance 🙏🏾
Love this!
Thanks for sharing 🙏 Respect
Awesome advice! I will no longer be doing squats until I can sit for 5 minutes. Makes sense as you need the stability of all the muscles and connective tissue. Thank you for the video!
You're welcome
So should I be doing this as a warm up or a general workout ???
Either or depending on your goals
Likewise Andrew
🥷💪
I am so glad that your not only giving the fitness advice but your backing it up by science. Amazing!!
I do squats without weights only use my body weight and it has worked for me, I will try this here, honestly am so into new ways of learning
This is the best fitness channel I have seen by far, love it.
Thanks and thanks for being here
I've started training for ~3 weeks ago and progressed from 160 to 200 pounds on leg press. Can't hold it for more than ~20 seconds with the first exercise. Feel lucky to find your channel and will adjust my strategy moving forward. Thank you 🙏
Keep it up
This is different but good👏🏾🙌🏾👍🏾
I have never seen anyone explain like this, amazing and fresh new content on youtube.
Although background music was a bit loud.
I loved squats and last 10 years started hated them, just recently started gironda squats, deligner squats, light weight and really burn.
But you are absolutely correct, these exercises areuch more important
Just discovered your channel and really appreciated this video. Had to subscribe and going to have to dig into the other videos. Thanks brother keep it up!
You're welcome
Great content 💯
Love this new sub
Great video, like the simplicity of the 3-foundational moves. Horse, ass to grass rest, and jumping.
This is excellent.
This is a good video: i'm 59 and do utilize squats and DLs - but I HAD to incorporate primal squats and various mobility drills to get my form correct - i'm not worried about the weight (though I've seen a big improvement) - it's the mobility that counts (i think!)
Great video. 🙏🏿
Great thanks for this
I have no ACL left in my left knee, so really need to strengthen and stabilise it
Hopefully these will get me started to legs of Iron
I was motivated to get back exercising but after watching your videos I'm unmotivated again and even more confused than before.
Thanks.
I never put this in perspective but it makes sense
Amazing channel. Thank you for all the tips 🙏🤲🔥🔥🔥
This is VERY interesting!!! First video I have now watched of yours 😊
I learned a lot of this stability/mobility stuff with NASM. Unfortunately clients want results so fast (weight gain/increase in weight) but I’ve been working on mobility a lot more with them. Thanks
Yep
Thank you!
Will have to try these
This proof me what i heard and saw previously.
You got an abo right there man, awesome video!
Perfect
Good info! Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome
I wish this video existed 20 years ago before I ruined my lower back.
I recently got back in fitness, but mostly bodyweight. Saving this video to my favo's and subbed
Easy subscribe, top notch info, Thanks for the vid!
Very clever advices here. Well done man!
Rock on
Good info. Subbed thanks you!
My thank you for sharing 💪💪💯💯
Thank you very much! you save us...🙏👌
Your content is awesome!!!!
You just got a new subscriber
Good info!
This is such a mind & eye opener for me. I'm so old school
Right on
Quite interesting video and tips... And totally true.
This is a great vid, I think I'm going to stick into this. You've earned a sub.
As I'm really keen on developing functional strength. And strength that can translate to being effective in Krav Maga drills
Knowledge is true power.
So goood thanks saved
Like your channel man keep up the good information 👍
This man just changed my life..
love the video. Will combine this stuff with knees over toe guy stuff! thanks a lot
Don't follow strangers online
As someone who’s hit 500 on a squat, I’ve rarely ever done any of these only the horse stance in Karate but I recently blew my knee out and honestly, even at my peak strength couldn’t do 99% of what he just talked about (plyometrics or jump training I’ve done and love my whole life though) definitely going to try this out for a bit see how that helps my knees and overall strength
Great anecdote
Perfection. Explanation on biomechanics on point boss 🔥💯
Appreciate that
This is gold
Glad you find it valuable
Thank you sir for excellent coaching for leg stronger...
Of course
Good advice! Thanks.
You're welcome
Good stuff. Just a simple horse dance is a great workout but the other moves you described add exponentially to an overall leg and back workout.
Awesome vid. Thank u
You're welcome
The horse stance is a great isometric exercise that many people can integrate into their training routines, but most people will never possess the mobility required to perform exercises demonstrated in this video such as pistol squats, and frankly they don't need to.
I agree that CrossFit training is probably best to avoid due to the onset of fatigue interfering with subsequent exercises and no recovery time in between. While I rarely perform weighted squats myself because they don't really suit me, I like to perform deep bodyweight squats as a mobility drill prior to lower-body exercises such as dumbbell walking lunges.
When I'm training other people to perform weighted squats (provided they possess the mobility to do so), I always emphasise the importance of abdominal compression. If the vertebra unintentionally flexes, extends, laterally flexes or rotates, then they need to focus more attention on their core development.
Abdominal compression is a factor that's often overlooked when performing axial loading exercises, including squats, deadlifts and overhead presses. Even people who possess adequate mobility for performing these exercises should be made aware of the core musculature and breathing mechanics associated with abdominal compression as well as the biomechanics associated with correct movement patterns.
Wow this was amazing!! New subscriber thank you!!!
Excellent
Great video Lee. Those low squat hops are awesome.
Right on
Awesome video with more to learn. Firming up the quads, thighs, and inner thighs is what I’ve been after for decades. It’s probably more of a challenge for me since I am over 65. I’m probably like a lot of people who have been in gyms since the early 1980’s. “Squats are king.” However squats are a thing of the past for me since about 2011. A bad fall in 2007 (slipped on a tater tot at my school) is what did it. Besides, in this video I see a lot of youngins’. Go figure.
All ages
@@LeeWeiland even an 80 years old man
Of course...training will look different obviously...but you can definitely have fun and make improvements
We had an 83 year old lady and a 71 year old stud go from dead on hospital bed heart surgery to pullups
That's great! If I'd have seen this years ago I could have avoided a lot of injuries.
Quality friend I am 62 1/2 lol this is the correct fit/fitness for me. Thank you.
