Just a suggestion, but if you are not capable of doing them like that, try doing regular ham raises and on a machine and building your glutes up until you build up your strength enough to be able to do them. Really the only way I could see helping, that and continue trying them until you eventually pull one off. Best of luck!

well there are dangers in any exercise. Just got to warmup thoroughly and be cautious.

I think I'll wait for 200lbs, or 215 at least.
