I did it again.

This time all I did was warm my glutes up, still kicked my butt.

Depending on how your legs sit, the wide stance can make it a lot easier to get into a full squat. Few exercises that don't involve the gym really nail the glutes. This one does. I didn't 'discover' my butt until I was in my 60s. When your glues get tired, the let your bone dig into the piriformis. That's the pain you can get on long rides. Strong glutes have lots of real world benefits, check it out.

Anyway, this made my leg day shorter. I am also doing a half deadlift/half squat exercise for the areas adjacent to the glutes. I also use bands to do the hip thrust that is the last part of a deadlift.
