Quadriceps & hip-flexor stretches
Fundamental squat & hip-mobility development
•
4m 34s
THE WHAT:
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 powerful approaches for long-term mobility development.

THE WHAT:
A simple variation on a classic hip-flexor 'release' drill performed by elevating the back knee and pulling through the ground with the FLAT FOOT, rather than the knee. This facilitates greater loading of the hip-flexor of the back leg, and also places more stress across the quadriceps ... -
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... -
