BASE MOVEMENT · HOW TO DO IT

Cossack Squat

Start lighter and use less range than you think you need. The rep should stay smooth from beginning to end.

  1. 01
    Set up

    Take a wide stance with both feet grounded and toes turned out only as much as needed.

  2. 02
    Move

    Shift toward one side, bend that knee, and sit toward the heel while the other leg stays long.

  3. 03
    Finish

    Keep the long-leg foot down, then press through the bent leg to return to the middle.

ADDUCTORS & GROIN / 35

Long rangeLong range

Cossack Squat

Sets: 3 · Reps: 5–10 per side

Load one adductor at length while the other leg owns deep flexion.

Long range: Long range means the target muscle is challenged as it reaches a longer position.

WHY IT EARNS A SPOT

Own the position,
then earn the load.

Shifting laterally lengthens the straight-leg adductors and builds usable frontal-plane range rather than passive flexibility alone.
