Hence, certain groups of people should be included in the exercise in their routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this squat position could pose a threat to a certain set of people bunch and should be avoided by them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who should do Kang squats<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol style=\"line-height:2.2\">\n<li>Anyone preparing themselves for Olympic weightlifting must include it in their routine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kang squats work well for most who hold some experience with lifting barbells on their shoulders.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Individuals interested in enhancing their squat form can include this exercise in their routine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Kang squat is a move that involves coordination and hence can be a value-added exercise for those keen to improve their overall coordination and balancing skills.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who should not do Kang squats<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol style=\"line-height:2.2\">\n<li>Like any other squat variation, Kang squat forces the lower body muscles (the hamstrings) to lengthen. This may be hazardous to people with pre-existing medical conditions or injuries, especially in their lower body.&nbsp; Hence, it is highly advised to perform this movement only under the care of a certified fitness instructor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Beginners in general or beginners at weight lifting should also program this move into their routine only after gaining some confidence and skills in handling barbells.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"add-to-routine\">Adding it to your routine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To program the Kang squat into your routine, it is important to know how many sets and reps are ideal for you to perform.

Below is a list of preventive measures to execute the move safely and prevent strain or injury:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Warm-up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Warm up before you get into your circuit. This gets the blood pumping <span class=\"footnote_referrer\"><a role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" onclick=\"footnote_moveToReference_7538_1('footnote_plugin_reference_7538_1_2');\" onkeypress=\"footnote_moveToReference_7538_1('footnote_plugin_reference_7538_1_2');\" ><sup id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_7538_1_2\" class=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text\">[2]<\/sup><\/a><span id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_7538_1_2\" class=\"footnote_tooltip\">Mayo Clinic: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/healthy-lifestyle\/fitness\/in-depth\/exercise\/art-20045517#:~:text=Warming%20up%20helps%20prepare%20your,lessen%20your%20risk%20of%20injury.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Aerobic exercise: How to warm up and cool down<\/a><\/span><\/span><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> jQuery('#footnote_plugin_tooltip_7538_1_2').tooltip({ tip: '#footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_7538_1_2', tipClass: 'footnote_tooltip', effect: 'fade', predelay: 0, fadeInSpeed: 200, delay: 400, fadeOutSpeed: 200, position: 'top center', relative: true, offset: [-7, 0], });<\/script> and helps in better muscle recovery post workouts, and prevents the chances of injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Progress steadily<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Initially, practice the exercise with lighter weights, such as a PVC pipe or a broomstick. Gradually move on to the barbell or load the barbell with heavier weights as you become familiar with the mechanics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Posture and form<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To prevent injury, be sure not to lock your knees, engage your core at all times, and avoid curling your upper half as your bend forward. It is integral to perform the Kang squat in the perfect form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Use a spotter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Perform the move under the guidance of a spotter. This will allow you to practice the move more effectively and with the correct form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. The correct method to drive up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While pushing up, push through your heels and not your knees to avoid unnecessary pain\/strain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.houstonmethodist.org\/blog\/articles\/2022\/aug\/common-weightlifting-injuries-how-to-prevent-them\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Avoid ego-lifting<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Carrying a weight that you can not control is a recipe for disaster.

However, this doesn&#8217;t imply that it can be used as a replacement for the traditional back squat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kang squats are particularly designed to focus on lower body strength and thus help with mobility and flexibility of the hip flexors and ankles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As Kang squats require a sequence to be followed, i.e., first the good morning and then followed by the back squat, it enhances one&#8217;s overall coordination, full body control, and awareness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Kang squat is an easily customizable exercise. It can be modified as per individual preference to be systematically programmed into any fitness regime.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"variations\">Variations to try<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Kang squat has multiple variations. For instance, the below-given variations are examples of exercises that are according to different fitness levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Bodyweight Kang squat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While starting off with Kang squats, you may begin by only using your body weight to perform the exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All you need to do for this is place both your hands at the back of your head (instead of holding a barbell). Continue to perform the rest of the exercise as usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Goblet squats<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This variation is a weighted squat that works well for counterbalancing your body. Moreover, it is excellent for introducing weights to your regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Performing goblet squats work similar muscles as the Kang squat and is suitable for individuals on an intermediate level of their fitness journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Weighted squat jumps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Weighted squat jumps are a variation that has the ability to provide a full-body workout. It is one of those exercises that anyone can incorporate and has two movements involved in a single exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This move requires you to jump explosively while rising from a squat and holding weight (dumbbells). This doesn&#8217;t only allow the body to build strength but also provides good cardio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To conclude, the Kang squat is a move that may be new to many.
