Front Foot Elevated Cable Split Squat

http://urbanstrengthinstitute.com Great Exercise to strengthen the VMO (Vastus Medialis Oblique).

Tips: Make sure to keep the upper body as upright as possible. On the front foot, the knee must travel as far over the toe as possible without the heel coming up. The hamstring should be touching the calf in the bottom position to ensure a full range of motion.

@jaries12 I've been doing this for a living for over 11 years now, and I read ALOT.

Google this: Leg training myths exposed by alwyn cosgrove. He's one of the most respected fitness experts in the world. The exercise I'm demoing in the video I learned from Charles Poliquin. Arguably the best strength coach in the world.

@jaries12 That's fine. But the best strength coaches in the world don't. Just cause the majority think something doesn't make it right. The majority still think aerobics is the best training modality for fat loss.

@jaries12 I'll stick with the minority that are Champions.

great exercise guys, keep up the good work :)

@jaries12 Do some real research on these things before telling a highly successful and respected strength coach he's doing the wrong thing. Your knees constantly pass your toes in real life when you walk, run etc. Not training in full ROM (i.e. knees over toes) causes a weakness of the VMO area of your quads which actually makes knee injury more likely. Don't believe old exercise myths which have no evidence backing them up

@jaries12 different strokes 4 different fokes... He's safe in this video. There is limit weight placed above the knee with cable pulling. He's obviously not over weight and the exercise being a pull doesn't put additional tension on his tendon.

@jaries12 on Youtube. search "worlds strongest teenager" and watch his knees on the squat and especially the clean. Past his toes with a significant amount of weight.

@GTSPerformance I'm not talking about the majority of people who don't know jack about the fitness industry. I'm talking about industry professionals, bodybuilder's, power lifters and trainers etc.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure you know what you're talking about... but the most important rule of fitness is safety first, and I along with the countless others agree that (especially in weighted exercises) the knee should not go over the toes.

@GTSPerformance I'm gonna stick with the masses that disagree with you.
