quad builder with your knees travelling far forward and your hips staying
extended
holding the hips open while the knees bend loads the quad in the stretch, the
same reason a reverse nordic works, done standing on your feet instead of
kneeling
the glutes and hamstrings are taken out entirely, so nothing helps the quads
out of the bottom
Execution
Stand with your feet hip-width apart, heels raised on a plate or a wedge,
holding a support for balance. Brace your trunk.
bend your knees and let them travel forward over your toes
lean your torso back to keep your hips open as you descend
hold the line from knees to head rather than folding at the hips
descend until you feel a deep stretch down the front of your thighs
drive back up with your quads
Once bodyweight gets easy, add weight by holding a plate against your chest.
