Do you do single leg squats?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I think I have somewhat nice fitness potential 😂

have been doing single leg squats on my healthy leg very easily.

Gotta stop though, I want my legs to look balanced. If I keep doing single leg squats, my injured leg won’t get toned.

I also have an injured leg with little mobility. I can't even do any stretches with it or bend it past like 60 degrees. I can't even kneel normally. It's pretty frustrating 😂

No I don't do any single leg squats because I don't like the idea of uneven legs 😂

Injured leg like broken? Mine is broken, 3-4 months unable to walk.

Sorry to hear about yours. I don’t do it all the time, just tried for a few days wanted to check my abilities

No mine is permanently injured since I was like 19 I think. My left leg had a bone tumor right behind the knee and I have a massive scar that starts from halfway down my thigh that goes all the way down right below my knee where the incision was. Ever since I had that surgery, my mobility has been limited. I'm still fit as hell. I go for hikes, play soccer, workout often, but I just can't kneel, do certain stretches, or do intense lateral movements

Glad you manage to stay fit and enjoy all these activities! It’s amazing.

I have been so many exercises lying down, I sometimes forget I am injured. I feel good. I just wish I can walk soon. But for these types of fracture healing takes 4-6 months and it’s been just 2 months and a half, can’t wait to go for hikes.

[HawkPerception]

You'll get there! Love the enthusiasm. But take the recovery time seriously and don't overexert yourself.

I didn't take the recovery time seriously because I wanted to be up and about and also didn't take the physio seriously and I think that affected my leg's mobility. I was literally jumping off swings 2 weeks after the surgery when they said not to do any sports or anything for 2 months.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

As for physio - At this stage I can just move my ankle joint, while I can’t walk, so I am doing that, I even tried drawing with my injured leg 🤣🤣🤣 My ankle moves as flexibly as my uninjured ankle, I think that’s because I am very restless and always moved it from the very beginning.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I have been doing Ankle pumps, Ankle Alphabet Writing, Ankle Circles. And my injured ankle moves the same way my healthy ankle does.

Glad to hear it's going well 😁

I can do pistol squats relatively effortlessly. It's one of the few motions where I really excel, although I think it's more about balance than quad/glute/ham strength. Been a sprinter and long jumper and skateboarder starting from early childhood. Think I got used to basic the motion. Upper body motions are where I'm relatively weaker than many guys, but I can do pistol squats all day.

[Sour-rose]

I have not and definitely ain't trying. gonna bust my ass doing some stupid shi like that xD

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

🤣🤣🤣

Back when I used to go to the gym everyday I could, now I’m weak asfff

[Guido]

It's good to keep in shape but you will end up with legs that look vastly different only doing one leg while the other heals.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Yeah, that’s why I stoped 🤣 I just wanted to check my abilities and did those pretty easily. Now I stopped and going back to lying down both legs and whole body exercises.

[Sonorous]

Not anymore. I used to when someone challenged me to be able to do pistol squats. But now that I know I can, I just stick to both.

When I was rehabbing my fake hip I did them a little bit.

[NathanDavis]

I mean I could...

but I rather not, lol

[Phoenix98]

O pistol squats? No not really I prefer doing standard two legged squats.

[RandomUser1000]

What happened to you? :(

[Jkreuger89]

No but considering it

[Liketotry]

Looks really hard

[soe11]
