Seems kind of high - as far as squat depth (above parallel). Personally, I do the same using a loading pin and a dip belt at one of those free standing dip station. I’m able to get below parallel by simply adjusting my dip belt’s chain length.

I've seen Alex Leonidas doing these and I'm sold. 2 questions: how long should the chain/sling be? To what degree does the length matter? 2. I'm building up my tissue capacity, doing leaned back leg extentions. Are there any strength standard you recommend I hit before attempting this exersice? I don't wanna injure my rectus femoris or my knees. At the moment I can rep half my body weight for sets of 15.

To further clarify, to go lower (esp with any added load) will put lumbar spine as undue risk with this exercise, and to come up higher would do same at other end of ROM (re lumbar hyperextension). If you can do it with no issues, by all means do you. I ‘will’ implement moderate load RDL variations that emphasize more load in bottom of hip hinge. As with all things training, applications are individual.

Yes. Yet there’s no ‘standard’ height for everyone. You have to experiment with height and length of rope/strap.
@javig93462 ай бұрын
Vince, have you experimented with inverted hyperextensions? Simply head to the lat pulldown cable station, lock your thighs, and replicate the movement from your video-extending the torso without bending the elbows. I consider it a safer alternative. Why is it safer? Because gravity pulls you downward while the cable weight lifts you upward, neutralizing the forces on the spine. Beyond that, I'm going to try your variant, it looks interesting!

Vince, I was wondering if using a landmine grip attachment can make a difference compared to grabbing the bar directly, especially on the lower back and the load on the glute. Atm I'm grabbing the low end of the bar since the gym i go doesn't have the attachment, so I'm considering to buy one. I've tested this exercise using a dumbbell, but it's not as effective as the landmine set up. (you need more load when using dbs) Once you try the landmine, you don't want to do anything else lol. Btw, you're so strong!! 20kg killed me and i could barely stand lol, and there you're with 40kg lol omg!
@vmac652 ай бұрын
If I understand your question correctly, the advantage of the attachment is primarily ‘the grip’ (as well as giving more distance from the plates, which can be real issue as you increase load). I know of many who perform this lunge variation without the attachment and have no problem. That said, I do personally prefer the attachment as it does allow me to better “connect with” the targeted muscles (glutes) as the grip is more secure. Hope that helps. And I appreciate the kind words🙏🏼

@vmac653 ай бұрын
You do push through the ball of the foot (rather than heels) as tibia travels “forward”. So yes, you can say “push through the toes” and this is your get more QUAD activation. There’s zero conflict in pushing through the toes that takes away from quads… it helps bias them.

Appreciate your comment. This is not a gravitational line of resistance (eg barbell, DB, KB) It’s a different vector with the cable. Pay attention to the line of resistance. It’s diagonal, mostly perpendicular to the operating lever of the quadriceps, the tibia.
