Exercise equipment is not limited to your local gym or recreation center. It can be found anywhere and at any time. However, to see the equipment that is all around you, you must change the way you view your environment. As a traceur, you already have a head start on gaining this perspective; you see obstacles as opportunities for movement. A natural variation of this perspective is to also see obstacles as exercise equipment. An every day, common rail, bench, tree, or wall can all be turned into an incredibly versatile piece of exercise equipment. In this edition of Urban Exercise Equipment, we will explore the exercise possibilities of a basic rail.

Tried the cat balance at 5:44. No go. Screwed up my wrists for a few days. I can do it okay when I’m in a more upright (plank) postion and don’t slide/stretch. I can stretch it out when not on a rail though. Must be wrist positioning

going past 90 does …
going past 90 does not always screw up your knees. it did for me for a while cuz i didnt have enough muscle so i ended up getting RSI around my knees i had to build up my thigh muscles before i could go down past 90 for the extra exercise its a gradual thing and only going 90 and holding it builds more muscle because its less pressure on the legs wen u go past 90 degrees and come straight back up if u stay at 90 and hold it its more of a work out.

It’s not about ” …
It’s not about “building muscle” it is about being better at performance.
Pistols past 90 are done in many sports without negative repercussions. Look at swing dancing, for example, where dancers will dip down low with a pistol frequently.
You will not end up destroying your knees. By not going past 90 you will not stress the hamstrings which means you will become quad dominant and create overuse and muscle balance injuries.
Only follow Betty’s advice if you want to destroy your knees.

Sorry betty, you …
Sorry betty, you are wrong. You do not up your knees by going past 90. If the load is too heavy for you to go past 90 then it is too heavy for you. Making your body weight an acceptable load is deirable.
Get off your high horse – stop being a hater. You are just looking for attention.

you are absolutely wrong. if you want to read some articles about why you should go all the way down, google pistol power by steve cotter. come to think of it, read any article about pistols and you will learn why to go all the way down.

The dude at the end …
The dude at the end done the pistols wrong… DO NOT do what he done, only bend you leg 90deg.
or you’ll end up up your knee + it builds ur muscles more with less reps by going 90.
