Kneeling hip-flexor release
Fundamental squat & hip-mobility development
•
1m 35s
THE WHAT:
A supported contract/relax context for "releasing" available range in the hip-flexor-complex (i.e. maximally "opening" the hip). It's primary use-value is as a preparatory tool to establish what the nervous system will "allow" at that time, from which point more potent tools (namely those developing leg-abduction in the sagittal plane & the 'front-splits' form) can be practiced to increase this range further.

Quadriceps & hip-flexor stretches

Fundamental static stretches affecting the "hip-flexors" & quadriceps complex. Whist incomplete in themselves for developing sustainable and USABLE ranges in the long-term, their convenience allows them to be more easily cultivated into an habitual daily practice, one of the most powerf... -

The 'Active' Squat
THE WHAT:
The 'Active' squat is a form which is structurally sound to receive load and produce force from (e.g. as in the context of performing a 'Back squat'). Compared to the ‘Passive-squat’, in terms of range it requires LESS knee, hip, and ankle-flexion, although their development is still af...
