Bench Hip Flexor Pike Because hip flexors need love too. Can be performed tempo’d or in an elastic fashion. We cue posteriorly tilting the hips for better ROM and minimise collapsing into lumbar extension.

You being am afficiando of hip extensor work, what ratio do you trend towards between that and flexor work like this for clients without sport specific requirements?

Here’s the gymnast version I used to fit in the warming up for her ACL rehab, last year. Also the “simple” version is a challenge for many athletes, even more when injured

This is my fave acceleration drill, and it will NOT make you faster! ⛔️The classic wall drill doesn’t work. It just make your hips tired. Coaches around the world swear by them. We have all been doing them forever , because the angle mimics acceleration. When in all honesty, it’s just an inclined plank/hip flexor exercise. 💡So here’s what we reflected on💡 We asked … 🙋🏼‍♀️“what is a major output required in an acceleration?” 💡Well that had to be … “Horizontal Projection of your center of mass”.💡 Classic wall drill doesn’t have ANY hip projection. Horizontal body angles are the “EFFECT” of acceleration, but we wanted to have something that worked on the “CAUSE”? 🤨So what’s routed in the CAUSE? ✅Disciplined hip extension✅ 🙋‍♂️ What does that look like? 💡Shin discipline with trunk discipline allows one to utilise Lombards paradox💡 🙋🏿‍♂️What’s that ….? 💡Where the hamstrings & the quads contract TOGETHER rather than in an agonist -antagonist relationship💡 Said differently hip extension can result in knee extension, if the shin ceases to rise nore fall. ✅Co-contractions to maximise joint coupling✅ 💡Co-ordination and timing of triple joint extension is far more important than the completion of triple joint extension.💡 We have all been too concerned with the destination (full triple joint extension), without locking in on the journey ( joint coupling/coordination ) 🙋🏿‍♂️Will this drill make you faster? ⛔️Nope! No drill with low speed and low force will have Primary Transfer to sprinting. 💡But it will have Tertiary Transfer. Use the drill to feel efficient hip extension, with trunk and shin discipline.💡 📝Learn how it feels to have naughty knee roll,then how it feels to correct it. 📝Learn how your ankle stiffness allows for more explosive hip extension , how reactivity feeds your projection. ♻️Use this drill to create more space in your hips to hinge efficiently , setting the tone for prowler pushing , sled runs and acceleration work. TEACH in the gym and then ,TRAIN on the grass. Far simpler way to coach acceleration to team sports players.
