The Jefferson Curl
Weighted mobility development

8m 27s
THE WHAT:
The 'Jefferson Curl' is both a fundamental small and large-frame mobility development tool, and is generally considered an absolute staple for anyone who is concerned with developing their front-folding range; whether to simply touch the toes or toward advancing mobility to facilitate a range of bodyweight-strength skills.
As well as progressively increasing front-folding range ('large-frame'), the context also allows you to explore maximal flexion at the VERTEBRAL level ('small-frame'), facilitated by the load in the hands. With significant benefits on both the “micro” and “macro” scales, it should be included in both general and well as specific mobility-development programs.

THE WHAT & WHY:
A ‘horse-stance’ variation in which the feet are actively EXTERNALLY rotated (i.e. pointing outward, away from the body), and with it a concentrated effort for ER to maintain the knees in alignment with hips.This effort directs load away from the glutes and hamstrings (where is ...

THE WHAT:
Various contexts for developing your range in the 'pancake' position, when restriction in range requires you to use elevation. For optimal loading (whether just with bodyweight or an external load) in the ‘Pancake’ form, the shoulders must ideally be able to be positioned FORWARD of the... -

THE WHAT:
Two variations for the fundamental 'Romanian-deadlift' which allow greater expression of range in the loaded "hinge" pattern. In practicing this context, then, perspective shifts from maximal strength-development to that of a "loaded-stretch".This means that, whilst the weight should ...
