I think I won't benefit too much from them to be honest because I'm not able to finish in a hip hyperextended position in the first place, no even without a barbell over me. My anterior tilt is very pronounced so I'm not able to finish in a hyperextended position.

Any idea on how to improve on that? (other than hip flexor stretches that never worked)

Lower abdominal work? (hard to grasp that since the abs are a single muscle - and I'm talking about the rectus abdominis here)

What should be the focus in terms of specific exercises? Would ab wheel rollouts be good for strengthening the abs for anterior pelvic tilt correction purposes?

They sure hurt like hell even with two aerobic mats wrapped around the bar and only 60 kg on the bar.

I didn't read further after I saw " your' "

I re-read this entire thread and it really opened my eyes on a lot of things. I need to try to get that 1 minute for the glute iso holds and see what happens. My calves usually start to cramp after 20s though - but I will definitely focus on trying to get to 1 minute while maintaining maximum glute contraction for the entire duration of the set.

I'll also give that 3-bounce full to parallel squat for VMO development thing a try.

Thanks again.
