Externally rotate feet more, widen the stance a bit more.

What happens if you try to hyperextend your knee. Like really really extend it and push the knee "back"? I have found out that when I do it the VMO fires much more intense (you have to be with your feet on the ground to feel it)

Do you do the calf raises on a free bar or on a smith machine?
If you do them with a barbell, how hard it is to maintain balance? I find it pretty hard... I have the tendency to "drop" forward when I do calf raises.

So it's a Peterson step-up, just that it is glute-oriented vs quad-oriented as in a Peterson step-up.
I tried a few, but the tendency is to bend the knee, otherwise I'll fall back. I guess here the abs are important to maintain the correct position (hips back vs. knee forward)

« on: April 15, 2012, 08:41:00 am »* Hip dips. This is one of my favorite exercises, not only for athletes. You stand on a 12-24 inch box, one leg off to the side, one leg on the box. Set it up so you have some type of handles to hang on to, dip handles work well as does the front of a squat rack. Dorsi flex the foot of the non working leg, and lower under control until the heel of the non working leg lightly touches the ground, then stand back up.
The key is to really focus on the GLUTE during the eccentric, sitting back, as well as maintaining a very tight core as to really fire them as much as possible. The concentric done correctly should feel like a hip extension rather than a knee extension. Try and use as little help from the arms as possible, they are for balance only. Once youve mastered bodyweight, you can easily load them in the same manner you would a 1 leg calf raise.
You mean a short range pistol squat?

Rotate your feet externally.
