@@cwcard if you're looking at the upper mid back and shoulder muscles then yes it'll increase range of motion. For longissimus and all of the erector spinae muscles doing things like Superman's and starfish are good for that

@@kOt985 this exercise has a focus of balance and stability in the push off and the landing and increasing force/push off in legs

Cool! And why the need for the tuck?

@@kOt985 quick fast muscle contraction to get the leg up to help increase that burst from the floor. This is an exercise that I would program into our speed, quickness, and agility programs which typically would be used for athletes.

If you can get down into that position then your mobility is pretty good which is a plus, but in that position you're not focusing on tension in the muscles. If you're at parallel then you'll feel the quads and hamstrings working.

Typically this would be a 3x15 or 4x12 exercise

@@clevelandarearuckingcrewho7174 Great! Thank you so much! I will try this once I complete physical therapy for total knee replacement.

@@rominagresely526 best of luck with the recovery!

Similar to a front racked squat it works the quads more than a typical back squat. But having the arms out and weight being on those anterior deltoids it requires activation of the mid back muscles to keep the arms parallel to the ground and weight in place (forces you to keep the neutral spine), if using a barbell you'll really force the body to keep that upright position and so it won't roll forward on you. With that said it can help if you tend to roll the shoulders forward during squats as an accessory exercise for squats.

@@clevelandarearuckingcrewho7174 I will give this a try, thank you for your help.

The knees should be tracking over the 2/3rd toes as they go outwards. It may be the angle but they are over the toes and not going past the toes in the video, for them to go outwards over the toes I would need to be lifting the heels off the ground (as I just tried to see if I could even get them past my toes).

Most likely you would do them with a ruck on

In this video, I believe that is a 70lb bag.

Man how are you doing now, how's the injury been?

Not sure I quite understand what you mean about adding the facepull in. Like do the movement and then at the end pull the arms back towards the body more while keeping the elbow in the same position?

We tried that as well to no avail. We think he over hydrated and we never caught up to the salts he most likely flushed out.

Yeah you were looking a little rough brother

Works balance and stabilization with the shifting of the weight around the head. Triggers Type II muscle fibers around the joints as well to help decrease potential injuries.
