![]() ![]() I used to do this exercise in another state at another gym which i think was hammer strength. When doing the reverse leg press on this machine I dont add much weight only maybe 20 lbs since the sled is already pretty heavy for the reverse leg press exercise. I do a reverse leg press regularly and have been using a HOIST machine. ![]() my next session is either gonna involve alot of walking lunges or that glute kickback variation on the leg extension. Ive been stratches in the morning and night religiously for about 2 months now, i use to get pain everytime i stretched my hip flexors but thats completely gone and i can go through the full ROM with my hips, but im still having trouble working the glutes. when i feel their get involved in the lift more ill start doing solid staple exercises like the ones mentioned. this is a temporary measure, not a copp out. if you dont have the same problem then you wont be able to see where im coming from. the thing with those glute machines/butt blaster machines is that they put you into a fixed position which allows you to concentrate on the glutes.īefore anyone else says 'just to squats' or something along those lines. but im trying to fix my APT / 'Gluteal Amnesia' and im finding it difficult to feel my glutes working in pretty much any movement. i actually want to be able to do those exercises. This is a huge goal I am trying to reach, and I'm stumped.Thats the thing. Any kind of help will be greatly appreciated. Does anyone have suggestions? I have researched and researched different ways to do these excercises and others and either I am missing it, or cannot find it. Things I need to do like the leg curl is really hard for me to figure out, along with like leg extensions, glute focused excercises, pull ups, pek focused, rope extension, tricep focused, lat pulldown, hack squats, leg press just to name a few. With that being said there is only so creative you can get, and only so much bodyweight excercise you can get it. If I'm not being creative with the equipment then certain excercises do not get done. I am really working hard to get myself ready to compete on the stage. We are blessed this group worked so hard to put this together for our community. ![]() The only gym we (our community) has is one put together by a non-profit thrift store, and just about the majority of our equipment is out dated, or donated. Walmart is 45 minutes away to give you a complete picture here. To give a little idea of what I have to work with.I live in a very very rural area. ![]() Always use a full range of motion by curling the weight up as far as possible and lowering it as far as possible without the weight dropping on the stack.Always control the weight throughout the set. Don't use momentum to move the weight up, and don't allow it to drop back down quickly.Common mistakes with the leg curl are moving the weight up and down too fast and not using a full range of motion.Squeeze the hamstring hard, and then slowly lower the weight back to the starting position.Squeeze the hamstrings and curl the weight up as far as possible.This is the starting position for the exercise. Tense up the hamstrings by taking the weight slightly off the stack.If it's higher than that, adjust the length. The padding should be positioned just above the back of your ankles. Set up for the leg curl by selecting the weight you want to use on the stack and adjusting the padding to suit your leg length. The lying leg curl is a great exercise to isolate the hamstrings. ![]()
