I find stretching forward with both hands grabbing the forefoot is easiest, and keeping that outstretched leg locked out pulling the kneecap up with the quads and creating compression in the hip makes this exercise more effective. I also like to do this to warm up for heavy squatting because it works the tension out of my knees. Good stuff
Excellent tutorial. I learned this a few years ago when I asked about a high resistance body weight exercise for legs. I perform these with 30 lb dumbbells, but checked out this tutorial to compare my form. Excellent stuff; thanks for the vid.
Try to feel like you're compressing your body forwards. The point with this is that your center of mass shifts from behind your heels to your heels or midfoot.
If that doesn't work, you might have to use counterweights in your hands to help.
Great vid. Working on achilles tendon and calf flexibility helped me a lot. For people to do this with the form shown obviously requires tremendous lower body strength and uncommon balance.
I'm glad I could help you. I appreciate your feedback a lot, it keeps me motivated to produce more video tutorials. Would you be interested in a similar tutorial for handstand pushups?
I bet other people would... they're fun as hell, but I already learned how to do em. I stole them 'triple push' and 'arm tap' variations from the other video...
Really good video
