Standing Hip Extension, also called reverse leg press. This action involves standing with your back to the leg press machine and making a donkey kick-like action. You can also use a tension machine to exercise your buttock muscles.
This action has long been used to effectively develop the explosive power of sprinters. In sports competitions, the hips are never too strong. The stronger the hip, the more powerful it can contract during sprinting, protecting the lower back, knees, hamstrings, and groin, and obtaining stronger explosive power and sprinting speed.
Target exercise area:Gluteus maximus
Action essentials:
1. Stand facing the direction of the tension line, fasten the tensioner to the ankle and bear weight, and place weight on the heel. Everywhere is the point of strength.
2. The exercise leg is slightly suspended in the air and the force is applied, keeping the whole leg straight. After exerting force on the gluteus maximus, lift the leg to the limit, completely tighten the gluteus maximus for about 1 second, and restore the yield.
Notes:
1. Action process Avoid unnecessary movements such as leaning forward and backward.
2. Since the target muscle group and the stressed part are far away from each other and span joints, the load-bearing of such movements must be just right, mainly with small and medium intensity, otherwise it may cause the exercise part to be damaged. The strength level is reduced, or it is difficult to regulate the movements.
3. In addition to standing Hip Extension, there are many other types of special equipment that can make different Hip Extensions:
