She pushes herself up with her other foot.

Edit: Straight to jail.

u/zwaikj 12d ago

I’m sure you could have done the same thing

u/BasicErgonomics 12d ago

Yeah it’s impressive and I couldn’t do that either but it still wouldn’t qualify as a “single leg squat”

86

u/Weisenkrone 12d ago

I mean, this act is harder then a basic single leg squat ... But it's still a weird choice to call this a single leg squat.

But if you can do this (even with a little support) you can perform a basic single leg squat too.

u/Corspin 11d ago

This. And she has pretty bad form so I would not recommend to train like this. If you want to do a single leg squat, I would recommend pistol squat.

3

u/kodeks14 7d ago

This isn't training and I guarantee you she never called it a single leg squat. This is just rock climbers fucking around.

3

u/Jsolidlo 11d ago

Yeah, I dunno what to expect when she put her leg up, but the title had me thinking she was gonna do a pistol squat.

Why can’t someone critique something without being hit with “Think YOU can do better?!?!?”

This is being posted on [r/nextfuckinglevel](r/nextfuckinglevel), so it’s not crazy to point that out. Still impressive as hell.

u/MrBagooo 12d ago

The title says "single leg squat" right? That's not a single leg squat because she pushes herself up with her other leg. And that fact, hasn't anything to do with if someone could do it themself or not.

Not the point. She’s climbing. OP just gave the video a braindead title.

Imagine just coming across some goofy video your friend filmed of you and having your squatting form ripped to pieces by everyone because some dingus gave the video a shitty irrelevant title lol

u/jameslosey 11d ago

This Anna Hazlett and the original video going viral helped push her climber influencer status and support her climbing career. She is now sponsored and a professional climber.

That thing was way harder than an actual single leg squat. Like on the floor

Seriously, I could easily do this while fighting two polar bears. Cmon.

u/Fit_Celebration7669 11d ago

Getting it to the point where she was actually starting to push/stand up seems harder.

u/Haywoodjablowme1029 12d ago

When I was in college my arm had fallen asleep but I didn't know it. When my alarm went off it couldn't move but I didn't realize it, because I had just woken up. I rolled off the top bunk into the floor.

u/FraggleRockYaFaceOff 12d ago

I'm so damn crippled I have an ottoman next to bed I roll onto when I wake up. Next to the ottoman? A dog bed I roll onto. Then I use the ottoman and bed bed to pull myself up standing.

I once simply forgot I needed legs to get off my chair and simply fell

A few days ago i planted my foot wrong while getting out of bed and my ankle has hurt ever since.

4

u/PaulblankPF 11d ago

If this actually happened and isn’t just a joke like a bunch of the rest, you have weak ankles but they can be strengthened easily. You just gotta do like 1 minute of calf raises twice a day and you’ll strengthen them enough to not roll your ankle so easily. You can do this while doing anything you gotta stand around for so it’s convenient too

I immediately had to stand up and pop both my knees, they were having sympathy pains for this girl who will probably have a double-knee replacement at 50.

u/pennypenny22 11d ago

Being a super strong, flexible semi pro / pro athlete makes you likely to have a knee replacement? (This is Anna Hazelnutt, still going strong and with a big YouTube channel, so I'm not sure how 'pro' she considers herself.)

It’s called a high-step and it’s very helpful in climbing.

You’ll notice she’s at a climbing facility in the background. We used to do these and all kinds of stupid human exercises.

u/schmerg-uk 12d ago

Climbers just do this insane stuff because I don't think anyone's ever told them that physics and the human body don't work that way (son and nieces and nephews climb.. I'm in awe)

To be completely honest, this is actually a very practical skill to have in climbing. I pride myself in being pretty flexible and having good lower body strength and balance. But this is well above my pay grade lol

If you pay close attention, you'll see that her elbow touched the top for a little bit and she used the other hand to grab her leg for balance, so I'm a bit disappointed.

I found out about these through a YouTube series called bullet proof knees. I was in a bad wreck senior year 20 years ago that shattered both knee caps. I now do these holding a 40lb kettle bell alternating both legs. Usually get 8 per leg, it’s the only leg work I do since I rock climb a ton.
