Animalhouse Fitness MonkeyFeet Lift Dumbbells with Your Legs | Strengthen Your Glutes, Hamstrings, Quads, and Hip Flexors at Home or at Any Gym

Product Information

I’ve seen people use barbells with them, though not with the HLR’s – more for the sliding hamstring curls while lying on the floor. Again, if you were to try this, start light, and maybe have someone nearby just in case. I don’t see why they couldn’t be used for reverse hypers, long as you have a safe platform for them.

Yes, I was very skeptical about this goofy looking product too… until I saw the ways you can spice up some amazing bodyweight exercises that I personally don’t find myself doing very often. With Monkey Feet, my leg workouts have changed in a great way. The dumbbell handle must be at least 127mm in length for the MF to clamp onto it – unless you’re using the tiniest dumbbells in the world, I don’t think you’ll ever have any issues with this. These are great to train hamstrings and quads in isolation. It is easy to put in a dumbbell and switch it out. The ratchet system is top notch.While it hasn’t affected the functionality of either the AnimalHouse MonkeyFeet or our dumbbells, this is something to keep in mind if you’re concerned about your equipment’s aesthetics. Portability

Anyone training through an injurywho can’t use loaded barbells for lower body exercises can keep up with their lower body training with AnimalHouse MonkeyFeet.Use caution when starting out! You will be surprised at how strange it feels to have a heavy dumbbell strapped to the bottom of your foot. This is different from a machine or bodyweight exercise. To stay safe, start with a lighter weight and move to a heavier weight once you “get” how it all works. In addition, many of the abdominal calisthenic exercises I do involve using my legs and feet. Therefore, Animal House Fitness’s Monkey Feet are also great for the following ab workouts:

Short of doing VMO squats, there’s not really many ways to isolate that VMO at home and so doing an exercise like this is probably the easiest way.

The MonkeyFeet leg extension takes a bit of finesse to get just right but once you’ve got it all sorted, it’s one of the best exercises you can do with this tool.
