One Half Locust
One Half Locust is a stretching exercise that trains the quadriceps.
StretchingBeginnerStatic
Primary muscles: Quadriceps
Secondary muscles: Abdominals, Biceps, Chest
How to do it
- Lie facedown on the floor.
- Put your left hand under your left hipbone to pad your hip and pubic bone.
- Bend your right knee so you can hold the foot in your right hand.
- Lift the foot in the air and simultaneously lift your shoulders off the floor. This also stretches the right hip flexor and the chest and shoulders. Switch sides. If it doesn't bother your back, you can try it with both arms and legs at the same time.
Track it with MyoAmigo
MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the One Half Locust from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Quadriceps volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
