Wait, what? You speak of ordinary kniebeugen, right?
I do easily 40/min, what is so praiseworthy of 25?
And for what purpose do 1 needs a chair?
Confused I am.

First of all, if you can do a full one-legged squat with no support the right way 40 times, that’s great! You might want to try holding weights if power…[Read more]
