Been busting the butt with a new exercise that I had been using last season but just revived. Targeting the glutes, I put a padded cuff on the back of the knee, lean forward toward a pole where the resistance bands are attached in running position - a slight forward lean - holding on to the back of a chair to steady myself and standing on one leg. It takes 4 heavy resistance bands to really burn the glutes, doing about 40 - 50 explosive reps and holding the last 4 or 5 and fighting the negative. It really is hard to isolate and burn the glutes without engaging the quads like I do in squats. This really does it. I like to burn the glutes before doing hamstrings so as to make the hams work harder.
In addition I did the rest of the stuff. Tomorrow, back to the track.
If your gym has a accomodating low row try taking the pullup elbow arm thing (sling with heavy nylon strap and carabiner), clip to the low row cable, face the weight stack, place the sling so that you resist kicking back. Can select weight for low reps if you wish. Not all low row things work, play with it..jp
ReplyDeleteYes the comment above is essentially do the same thing with a low row machine...works great..
ReplyDeleteGo get those giant glutes! jp
