Hip speed/strength

[spatts]

I was wanting to come up with a move that would fry the hips through speed, but would also work the core, lower back especially, and would require a tight arch throughout...and something that would take on the knees out position of the squat. So this is what I came up with. Band tied to the rack, and looped though a belt, and attached to me. Then added BB weight to work up to 221. The idea was to thrust the hips forward with as much speed as possible...to build hip speed and strength (which I use to squat and sumo dead).

I give these two thumbs up. Gonna stick with them and see if hip speed improves.

Also, Hannibal and I agree that the next two larger bands are better for resistance, and that two boxes (side by side) should be used to get the knees extra wide for PL purposes (to train the hips/hip flexors in the same plane as the squat stance).

can't beat jumping wide grip deadlifts

jumping wide grip deadlift. coolcolj what will you come up with next??

 

[spatts]

I'm gonna start calling you Tigger. Got a video? These sound like things I used to do in a sumo stance that I called "Leap Frogs."

Those are all well and good when you are around 200lbs or less. Unfortunately, once you get above 275 the impact from them is tremendous. Not saying that they aren't effective. But at heavier bodyweights, the impact on the knees becomes an issue.

I'm thinking he's talking accessory moves/extra moves. Whereas the Kneeling Squats can be done for Max Effort.

Sorry I wasn't clear about it....I was talkin about bodyweight, not bar weight. Once you get into 275-300 bodyweight range...then impact on your knees becomes a serious issue.

 

[spatts]

Right...I think for accessory work, you wouldn't be using weight like that.

Is there really such a thing as a jumping wide grip deadlift?

I'll second the request for a video...

not any more than someone who handles alot of weight and weighs less. the point of it is more compensatory acceleration vs sheer load. granted, the jumping portion may be a bit much, so how about a toe raise instead?

then again....theres always just more sex to help with hip drive!
