put your shoulders on a bench aswell, aligned with your feet. Common knowledge about torque says that's your best bet to effectiveness for this exercise
would be better to just push with the heel only though - no pressing down of the toes on the working leg. Takes the calves out of the movement and agree with all of the other comments. Very good for those that are not activating the glutes in many exercises
i warm up for my deadlift work sets by deadlifting as well...ask defranco about working up to a max set... but this is part of the dynamic warmup that we perform before we even start lifting.. glutes werent firing the right way before i started doing these in the warm ups..
do these on a stability ball, watch how tough they can get.

women love this one cause of the pump they get in their glutes too!.
I use them as an activation exercise with my warm up before i dead lift.
