[@dianale1685]

I’ve made it a point to always review PD’s exercise videos prior to my lifts to make sure I dial it all in properly and safely. It’s almost like you all are standing right next to me ❤️

[@PhysiqueDevelopment]

We love to hear this, Diana! We are happy to standing next to ya during your training :)

[@riccarrasquilla379]

thanks for the tips. good stuff

[@PhysiqueDevelopment]

You bet! Are you working on growing glutes right now?

[@riccarrasquilla379]

glutes are part of my leg routine. this will help@@PhysiqueDevelopment

[@ludenspal704]

maximum initial flexion is bad? what do you mean "out of the active range"? thanks

[@tatianazuniga1281]

I've been doing these except I do a lateral step down version! keeping one bare foot on the bench that's a bit too high, and when I come down I dont even tap the ground. I only come down deep enough to stay within range. I also lightly hold onto some bars in front of my for stability but I make sure to not help myself with my arms! They're killer! I only do bodyweight and I really feel it!

[@PhysiqueDevelopment]

That's great to hear, Tatiana! I'm glad you're having great success with the step-up.

[@sanprovictory3513]

How height i need to do this exercise? For the short one, thank you

[@kortneyriedyy]

always unlocking critical tips for MAX gainz 😎

[@asnmusiclover]

For women generally how tall/high does the box need to be? Say for someone who is 5'7

[@PhysiqueDevelopment]

just make sure that as you lift your leg, it doesn't push your hips out of alignment - roughly would say knee height or a little lower!

[@gianmarcoconte2439]

But in school they told you that at 90 degrees of flexion you can have the Better activation of the glute

[@PhysiqueDevelopment]

The literature is always being challenged & changing depending on new findings. Performing the exercise as shown here has been very successful for our clients.

[@zoiladecastrogolpeo4856]

KB.

[@steff6682]

That box is not high enough

[@jimrob27]

“Exspecially” is not a word🙄
Especially is😀

[@PhysiqueDevelopment]

Thanks for the feedback, Jim!

[@georgesmith3022]

according to other tutorials you should not lean forward

[@PhysiqueDevelopment]

Thank you for the feedback, George! I'm not 100% certain what the context was to the other tutorials that you are referring to. But, our goal with leaning forward here is allowing the glute to further lengthen prior to moving into the concentric portion of the exercise to make this as glute biased as we can. I hope this brings clarity to why we recommend to do so.

[@singhanujk]

Has anybody told you - you speak a lot while demonstrating less … speak less then people wud like to see your videos

[@PhysiqueDevelopment]

People are big fans of our videos, they've helped hundreds of thousands of individuals with their exercise execution. The talking points are there to further explain the why behind performing the exercises in the fashion that we teach.
