But then if the balance factor is such an issue, wouldn't it be better just to do a regular straight leg deadlift instead?

If you cant do ghr and reverse hypers, I like rdl and single leg rdls holding onto something with the off hand. The single leg rdls with the balance issue taken out turn into one hell of a glute ham destroyer, and allow you to really focus on overloading the muscles this way. Only issue Ive had with them is once someone gets very strong, its harder to hold a 150 plus pound dumbell, even with straps in one hand. Once you get to that point you will have already developed some great strength regardless.
I was doing them with a bar back in the day but I did bent the knee sometimes... not sure if it was because of stability issues or just because of weakness... is that a sign of weak hamstrings (and thus transferring the stabilization into the quads by bending the knee)?

Makes sense why it would work, havent tried it though so I have no idea if it would or not. Try and see.
I think also a one-leg "back extension" on the hyperextension machine would work too, although it would have a different way of loading than the one-leg straight-leg hip thrust.
I remember this was a "secret exercise" in the Vertical Project of Puke Lowery™

I could basically post here non-stop as I have tens of pictures like this (not me, just from facebook sources) but it gets really annoying to copy-paste tag as IMG etc etc etc...

Imagine me paying over half of a monthly salary to get my shoes... and keep figers crossed so they fit. Well not literally but you get the idea.
Luckily they fit perfectly.

« on: April 08, 2013, 07:03:08 pm »dam you have some awesome squat form. how much would you say the shoes help with that?
How about "a ton"?
I could squat similarly without them but I'd have to use a very wide stance...

lizard ppl do exist, they live in the caves of the galapogos islands and they camoflauge with wall when scientists go on expeditions.
Of course. There's no denying that.
