New leg exercise?

How tall are you? I'm 6 foot and they seemed fairly easy to me. I don't know, maybe I'm not doing them right.

I can squat around 410lbs. though so that could be why they're so easy.

 

Sorry Mannassa, got your discription wrong. atsch

 

**** just got technical.

 

Yep, all the way down and all the way back up. Barely even felt anything. But like I said before they could probably be adjusted to be more difficult if I wanted them to (more reps,more weight,ect.).

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

seems like it would work the core/abs more then the legs.legs are just taking the strain.

 

I've yet to try this, but I think you're right. As far as your torso, it looks like a static contraction/stabilization exercise with an added partial leg extension.

 

These gymnasts do a better version of it in this vid (skip to 00:20)

The best way to do this by yourself at home would be to make a T-bar up and fix it at a 45 degree angle. You could jam your toes against the wall, make sure the top of the 'T' went across the back of both your knees, and then do them from there. That would probably be even better than the gymnasts version, because they don't have to strain very hard to start off, whereas you would because of the different angle.


Dunno why that ****ing video won't embed.

 

Haha, the opposite of the glute-ham raise.
