1m 9s
THE WHAT:
The fundamental 'Sissy squat' is essentially a top-down, reverse-loaded hinge made at the knees to the deepest range, and back again.

This simultaneously makes it a valuable pre-/rehabilitation drill.

The 'low bridge' is a context which has the dual benefit of developing mobility in the anterior chain, as well opening up movement possibilities. As the lumbar spine is also in a much more neutral position than in a high-bridge, for example, it can still be practiced even by those with ... -
Standing-to-bridge contexts
THE WHAT & HOW:
Contexts for exploring a controlled transition from standing, into bridge. Whilst in its isolated practice (standing/Sissy-squat to bridge & returning) significant control in back-bending range is requested & developed, in the integrated variations it ultimately serves as a bipeda...
