If you have other glute and ham exercises, probably not absolutely necessary. But they're a great addition especially for anyone who is fairly sedentary during the day.

Dont you think it’s fascinating how a thread about training legs has all of a sudden turned to talking about Harry’s stretched anus. Filthy @Wildkid should be banned.

a.notherguy 1650 Posted January 8 Wrecked knee checking in. Slow single leg squats onto a box / bench are a great way to build upto single let squats. Step ups are also a great quad exercise. Start low and build up. Let the leg you step up with do the work, focus on trying not to push up with the trailing leg Single leg Romanian deadlift for the hamstrings glutes etc is a killer aswell. 1 invisiblekid reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Single Ham curls on a yoga ball is another one that is harder than it looks 1 invisiblekid reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In terms of hip thrusts, do i really need to do them? aren't they for the chicks. I was lucky enough to get physio for a couple of months with the senior physio from the area (I am a complicated case) who is well respected and she was quite clear that hip thrust / glute bridge type exercises are essential for everyone. Iirc, the argument was that most people nowadays regardless of training or not, have forgotten how to fire their glute muscles and this produces alot more force and strain on the knees, even during walking. 1 invisiblekid reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For me, weak/inactive glutes were the cause of so many injuries. Glute activation is part of every warmup regardless of what I'm training now 1 a.notherguy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
