Waiting for hip replacement and this is one of the only quad exercises I can do without pain ,it is not suggested by any of the P.T. I go to.It has helped in pain control and helped normalise my walking.
probably not recommended yet because this is a new exercise, this is a modification brought to the forefront by doug brignole. i like it, hated having to put weight on my shoulders, and that's not being a pssy, i used to deep squat over 400lb for reps and to be honest i got tired of it.
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.
Hey I'm looking for one to buy. Can you keep an eye out for me If you happen to find one for sale. I live in michigan and will have it shipped. Thanks.
Done this twice to date and I’m hoping I can feel the diff in my knees. BUT! I’ve been using the Hack Squat machine at the gym. Since I’m new to this exercise, any comments if this will suffice to duplicate this? Or am I not quite there?
You ‘can’ use the Hack Squat machine with effectiveness for training the quads. The key is how you execute each rep. Having the tibia go towards parallel to the footplate is optimal
