Hindu Squats

What fresh hell is THIS?!



Sets of 30 after every set of barbell squats = burning quads, lit up arches, gasping breath.

They were surprisingly fluid. I was taught to never ever everrrrrrrr squat up on your toes like that. I've heard of these, though, and they are fairly known/popular, so I wasn't dead set against trying.

I figured I would give them a try and if my knees exploded, I would stop. I think because you're SO far up on your toes and so centered/tall through the torso, it wasn't as much pressure on my knees as I had anticipated.
