'Low-gait' Squat (LGS) development
PRE-/REHAB: Feet, ankles, knees & hips
•
3m 11s
THE WHAT:
'Low-gait': the bipedal world between standing and floor-entrance. These drills focus on the "deepest" range from which floor-entrance is most accessible - if the experience and mobility capacities are available. Whilst consistent practice of these drills will help DEVELOP those ranges, it is also part of a practice of MAPPING 'zero-points', forms which offer high TRANSITIONAL - and therefore movement - potential. A visualisation for this is of "nodes" in a join-the-dot picture, whereby the more dots/nodes/'zero-points' there are available, the more possibilities present themselves for movement complexity

The 'Petersen step-up'
THE WHAT:
An isolated context for both prehabilitation (so shit doesn't happen) and rehabilitation (when shit has happened) of the knees. Whilst the range of motion is notably very small, the practitioner will immediately notice the challenge to balance, which is entirely desirable to providing a... -
'Proofing' of the Ankles & Knees
THE WHAT:
Working here with the concept of 'mapping' the feet against the ground with initiation points coming from either the knees, or the feet themselves. Both perspectives, and graduations between them, should be explored. The "side-effect" of this exploration includes a low-intensity, prehab... -
The 'Harop Curl'
THE WHAT:
The 'Harop curl' is a posterior-chain strength & conditioning tool whose intensity can be easily manipulated by "mechanical advantage" (i.e. sequence of "hinging" in hips & knees).Due to positioning, the posterior-chain (namely hamstrings, glutes & lower-back) experiences an increasin...
