  • @stluciestrength
    @stluciestrength 6 років тому +7

    Good explanation. But what about 1 arm 1 leg RDL with the dumb bell or kettle bell in the opposite hand ( opposite of balancing leg)? And couldn't we work the hamstrings entirely by straightening the balancing leg? As a runner, I'd think that's very important? Thanks again.

    • @CoachPJNestler
      @CoachPJNestler  6 років тому

      Side view or 3/4 off to the front are the best angles for the biomechanics of this movement, not much to see from a rear view

    • @womyn444
      @womyn444 6 років тому +1

      Perhaps in person... But here - if our eye is directed to her elevated foot position - it would be much easier to see the orientation of that foot, leg n' hip (aimed downward vs. aimed sideways).

    • @CoachPJNestler
      @CoachPJNestler  6 років тому +2

      Try a regressed version like staggered stance or rear foot elevated RDL's. Still primarily a single leg hip hinge exercise (same as the video) but these require A LOT less balance. Good to build strength there then move on to more challenging variations

    Can I put it this way? If you perform lateral exercises and your body tends to rotate easily, it means your core muscles are still not strong enough for lateral exercises yet.

    1:51 when she hinges forward , is the first movement with the pelvis , as if you were to sit down?

    • @CoachPJNestler
      @CoachPJNestler  6 років тому

      The entire movement is at the "hip socket" where the femur meets the pelvis. I'm not sure on the sitting down reference...most people bend their knees and squat as they sit down so I would say no...but if you mean the first part of the movement when someone is sitting back to a chair behind them and hinging at the hips then yes you are correct.

    • @CoachPJNestler
      @CoachPJNestler  6 років тому +1

      The lower back is not the primary muscle being worked/targeted here, but it will be involved in stabilizing the hips. In your example the primary muscles being worked to perform the movement (not for stability only) would be the right hamstring and glute

    • @TheChickenwing001
      @TheChickenwing001 6 років тому

      So actually is the stabilizing leg worked during this whole movement?

    • @CoachPJNestler
      @CoachPJNestler  6 років тому +1

      Yes it will be worked a little since it has to support about 20% of your bodyweight (plus any external weight). But it should not be heavily involved. You'll feel your quad and hip flexor a bit on that side if you do a lot of reps or heavy weight, or you'll feel them a lot if you are doing it wrong

  • @CM-le2kc

    • @OutrageIsNow
