People who train "old school" or just play sports tend to be a lot more imbalanced than those who do more functional fitness. <br /><br />This is a benchmark exercise. If you are strong at them you can do, say, three sets once or twice per week and keep your strength.Steve Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17639176315514772554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-68291760413623304572011-11-07T12:48:00.973-07:002011-11-07T12:48:00.973-07:00How soon should I feel the burn from these?

Once you know where it's supposed to hit you naturally get into position and I've noticed it varies quite a bit. I don't think his legs are totally straight but it is possible to use you glute med to raise a straight leg so they could be. Keep playing with the position until it feels like someone is sticking a knife in your top outside of your butt.Steve Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17639176315514772554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-60175696252358880552011-11-04T06:40:27.025-06:002011-11-04T06:40:27.025-06:00Steve,

I was at a seminar where a PT was presenting a movement like this and there was a military guy there who said "my guys would rather get shot." Not me.<br /><br />Yep, all lower body non-contact injuries are succeptable when hip alignment is off because nothing in the body is tracking like it should. This creates extra pressure. One of the test is to analyze the landing of a jump. You'll see those with issue wobble ever so slightly in the knees. When this is the case there is almost always trouble ahead.Steve Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17639176315514772554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-79351038713947456172011-11-03T09:55:50.927-06:002011-11-03T09:55:50.927-06:00Nicely done!
