I improvised a much better alternative to Bulgarian squats.

I filled a backpack with a single 70 lb slab of limestone and did single leg step lunges on the stairs. Superior to Bulgarian squats because I have the hand rails if I need them for balance and the knee lift is closer to running form... and it gets the calves too.
2 x 20 - 25 each leg
Did the usual resistance bands as well.

Very specific - looks good!
ReplyDeleteKneecap looks no further forward than ball of foot - good. Angle is slightly more than 90 degree's - watch that.
What is progression plan? Increase weight? Add reps, sets? Was this already "very difficult"?
Failure is about 25x. 2 sets to failure.
ReplyDeleteno planned progression? realistically, where do you see this exercise in one month - weight, reps, sets?
ReplyDeletePossibly more weight.
