I agree that this was not my best or normal form for a pistol. However,I do not feel that it is dangerous at all when you train with proper form and technique. ![]() I guess I just want to know what criteria such as exercise fulfills and if you believe the risk-reward ratio is in favor of it?įrom the video – I can see where you might feel this is dangerous. As a manual physiotherapist, this an an arthokinemeatically dangerous exercise because it’s forcing maximal tibial anterior translation or inversely femoral posterior translation with weight, which stresses the ACL and medial meniscus. And you are also going into a lot of knee valgus to get yourself out of the deep squat. Is it impressive? YES! But it looks and probably is really quite dangerous.You are loading the knee in extreme flexion with the added weight of the KB. Quick question for you though: On your video showing the single leg deep squat with the KB…I need to ask what the point of such an exercise is. Many of my female patients are “scared” of the weights section of the gym for various reason…thus they are relegated to the cardio kingdom…sigh!

Tips for Becoming a Strong Woman In my opinion, a strong woman should also be able to do a pullup and deadlift at least 1-1.5x her body weight. Women who choose to advance to SFG Level II will need to meet our standard one-third bodyweight single-arm military press. A woman attending SFG Level I will need to military press a16kg kettlebell for 5 reps (if she weighs over 123.5lb) with each arm. StrongFirst sets strength standards that are achievable with practice and consistent training. ![]() There are many answers to the question, “How strong is strong?” ![]() Why not be able to lift and move things that need to be moved, instead of having to wait for a man to assist you?Īs a woman in leadership for StrongFirst, I have a mission to help other women see that they can be strong. Women need to realize that when they focus on being strong first, they will achieve so much more. Many women would rather not try, out of fear of failure. ![]() Once I got out of the mindset that I needed high reps and low weights, guess what happened?
