Shovelglove legs exercises – Quadriceps (side)
Posted: Thu Mar 24, 2011 1:22 pm
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 straight.
Keep your elbow angle steady, in order to let the lower back and legs muscles do the job.
Rise the sledgehammer in simultaneous with the the legs straighten. Both movements (legs and shoulders) should begin and end simultaneously.
Caution: If you have issues with knees, it's better not to start at all.
Comments, critics, improvements, are welcome.
