Shovelglove legs exercises – Glutes & Hamstrings &

[filipe]

I've been using this for the last 2-3 months to increase my legs strength, and it works for me.
I don't recall seeing this anywhere (I didn't spent much time browsing the forum...). If it already exist, forget this.

Principles:
Keep your back and knees straight. Act like having a hinge in the hips.
Keep your elbow angle steady, in order to let the lower back and legs muscles do the job.

Caution: This exercise is the “Good Morning†Shovelglove version. I consider it very stressful in lower back.
If you're not use to exercise your lower back, start slowly. If you have issues with your lower back or knees, it's better not to start at all.
Begin slowly. You should feel confident and in control of all the movement range.



Comments, critics, improvements, are welcome

Filipe,

Thanks for posting this series of movements with drawings!

Among other things, they're very charming, aesthetically.

(Thanks also for the warnings. Always good to keep risks in mind)

I don't think I've seen this move before (I certainly haven't *seen* it, but I don't think I've heard it described either). Thanks!

Reinhard
