GotAGrip Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I have been doing the exercise below with my toes underneath my sofa - I know I am combining two exercises (front extension and backward extension) but I have no idea what either of them are called. I been trying to find them on google but to no avail. All I know is that they allow me to isolate my quads and hamstrings when practicing my muscle control stuff. http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?app=galleryℑ=10877 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

climber511 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 The first part is usually called a poor man's glute ham raise. The bending over backwards part is not really an exercise but is normally used as a quad and shin stretch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotAGrip Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 The first part is usually called a poor man's glute ham raise. The bending over backwards part is not really an exercise but is normally used as a quad and shin stretch. It is pretty tough. I was thinking of putting a bar across the bottom of my door frame to hook my foot under - that way I can go a lot further back (after I have got the strength for it). It feels like it would put some decent mass on the legs, any input on this? @Cannon - It's a .wmv file which I uploaded to Gallery first. Don't know why you can't view it.

Jedd Johnson Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Does it look like this (I can't view the video either) http://youtu.be/IlalgTN1dgA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hook my feet under the sofa and remove the seat part so I can get lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
