Hindu Squats

[Luveno]

Anyone ever hear of these? A friend of mind, who lifts regularily, showed me this exercise. It was very strenuous and seemed to be very effective on the thigh muscles.

Anyone else do these?

Yes,

Do a search on Matt Furey. There have been lots of debates here about his stuff with many differing views.

My take is they are great for GPP but if you think your gonna get big on them then forget it.

I have the combat conditioning book and tried the exercises. They work to a degree, but as with any exercises your body adapts to the stress you're putting on the muscles and then you have to make the exercise progressively harder. Sure you can do a higher volume of hindu squats or pushups, but it's easier and time effective to just work out with weights and do double progression.
