Square Wheels Posted October 24, 2013 Share #1 Posted October 24, 2013 I flipped through last month's Bicycling magazine and saw this. I thought nothing of it thinking it was prolly just a little harder than a regular squat. Then I tried it. Try it. Now. Get off your lazy ass and try it. Then post how many you can do. Me = 0!

Indy Posted October 24, 2013 Share #3 Posted October 24, 2013 Bad knees, and good to see that magazine continues to just recycle the few articles it does have from the past 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate Posted October 24, 2013 Share #8 Posted October 24, 2013 not coming off tendonitis, I'm not! You build up to the one leg isometrics. If you just start there, you could hurt yourself. They put exercises like that in magazines because people never see other people doing them and think that they are training secrets you could build up to that with simple 2 leg deep knee bends, sets of squat jumps, and standing on one leg and doing some stance training. Then you could put all that together in a few weeks and probably find that 20 of those are really no big deal if you built up the tendons and ligaments properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indy Posted October 24, 2013 Share #9 Posted October 24, 2013 Candy Ass! Okay, fine, I tried it with my "better" knee, which happens to be my weaker leg, my right. I made it half way down, my knee locked up and gave out, now bring me some freaking crutches and help me out to my truck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indy Posted October 24, 2013 Share #18 Posted October 24, 2013 Why do rednecks solve everything with violence? Because we are good at it and usually win.

Zephyr Posted October 24, 2013 Share #21 Posted October 24, 2013 The first time I fell over, so I held a chair (with wheels), second time fell over again. Held the desk and got half way down before crashing to the planet earth, so add all three attempts together I'd say I did 1/2 of one...., and I may have peed a little bit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indy Posted October 24, 2013 Share #22 Posted October 24, 2013 Now now, no need to drag our wives into this scuffle. Better hope your wife doesn't read that, finding a pillow to sleep on will be the least of your concerns. And WoIndy is a 6' redheaded farm girl, better hope she doesn't decide to hunt you down for that one, oh man, I'm not even crazy enough to try and piss her off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Square Wheels Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share #29 Posted October 25, 2013 It is amazingly hard. I can almost do 1 so far. It's bad for my knees, why? With the one you show, when do I go on my tip toes, and why am I doing that? Also, will it make me more able to climb hills? I am terrible on hills.

I agree, but we've already established I'm a city slicker sissy. I won't ride much this winter, except on the rollers, and I want to be able to climb better next year. There aren't any trails near the house plus I don't have a bike for trails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could go with the EPG attitude that you can become a good climber by riding a trainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
