Loaded-pike & Squat stretch
Weighted mobility development
•
1m 45s
THE WHAT:
A loaded mobility context focused on developing front-folding range in both 'pike' and 'squat' forms. Whilst the loaded 'pike' phase of the movement emphasises range-development of the posterior chain (namely range of posterior-legs & lumbar-flexion), the 'squat' phase loads external HIP rotation as you PULL the knees outward to make space for your body, further to loaded flexion of the lumbar-spine.

Standing loaded 'pike & fold'
THE WHAT & WHY:
A simple loaded front-folding context which comes into its own when the variation holding the bar UNDER the step is available. When you find yourself on the "edge" of this range, the bar can then be used to "block" against the underside of the step and to pull against into even de... -
Unilaterally-loaded pike-stretch
THE WHAT:
A unilaterally-loaded context for when hard-gaining restrictions require an added stimulus for development. What is uniquely effective about this variation is the ANGLE and POSITION of loading - with the foot of the "working" leg elevated to an angle of 45° and the hip-angle working bet... -
Loaded split-leg 'good morning'
THE WHAT:
A loaded context for developing hamstring range through unilateral emphasis in the hinging, 'good-morning' form. It complements mobility-development for general front-folding, locating & managing potential range-indecencies between sides, in a controlled context making use of a slower e...
