Cossack Squats with 60lbs of Chains

What are Cossack Squats?

Cossack squats are done by performing a lateral lunging motion. The toes can be slightly pointed out or straight forward during the movement. The lifter or athlete will move their feet outward to a sumo or slightly WIDER than sumo position.

From their the torso is braced and forced outward as the lifter / athletes moves to the right / left. The knee moves forward tracking over the toes and on the straight leg the toe comes up. Settling into the bottom position will depend upon your hamstring / glute flexibility and hip / ankle mobility.

The lifter / athlete can stand straight back up (easier) or slide across to the other side (harder). The slide technique keeps constant tension on the legs.

    Mike,

    I appreciate the support, but it is definitely not something I came up with. This mobility / stretching movement has been around for a long time. We just added some weight.

    Definitely. Personally, I would opt for a dumbbell held in front of you at chest level.

    you could do them bodyweight only to warm-up for squats and deadlifts or you could overload (or just do them with your bodyweight) them after your primary movement.

    It really doesn’t matter which way you want to do it bro.

    would this be done before or after a squat/deadlifht?
