Hello,

Like many others, I am having to modify some exercises due to a lack of proper gymnastic equipment. Open to critiques/ideas on the attached Straddle Running Man set-up.

Søkier, creativity is always welcome. The setup is not important as long as it achieves the goal of the movement. In this case one goal of the movement is to actively fire and strengthen your medial glute. Please feel free to send in a video of you doing the straddle running man for form check as well.

Hey Sokier, there are many extension reps with wrong angles (for example feet must not be over the hips height), turn the bench so that you can see yourself in the mirror at least until you get the correct angles.

@Alessandro Mainente Thank you...that is helpful. I will focus on ensuring the medial glute is fully engaged (thanks @Luke Searra)
