3-stance SLDL (with resistance band)
BW 'front-folding'-range
•
1m 38s
THE WHAT:
The '3-stance SLDL (straight-legged deadlift) is a moderately-resisted (band) "hinging" pattern, performed in stances A1. Wide-stance, A2. Close-stance (feet together), and A3. Neutral-stance (shoulder-width).
Whilst at its core it is posterior-chain range-development context, its practice for relatively high repetitions (generally a minimum of 10x per stance, one after the other) also promotes conditioning of the connective tissues at the hamstring's origin & insertion points through low-/moderate-intensity, full-range stimulation at slightly varied angles. Its convenience as a resistance exercises (only a band is needed) also makes it a highly-accessible auxiliary tool.

Hinging 'straddle-bow'
THE WHAT & HOW:
A progressive leg-abductor and hamstring range-development context. Performed from standing, it is also accessible for those who cannot effectively utilise floor-seated, or even elevated, contexts for similar range-development (i.e. 'Pancake' forms).Further to contributing to de...

Standing 'Hinge & fold' (breathing form)
THE WHAT & HOW:
Whilst primarily a breathing-frame, one which combines controlled inhalation & exhalation with a maximal "hinging" stretch of the lower posterior-chain and “folding” to a seated position on the heels, it also serves as a low-intensity prehabilitation context for the knees in deep ... -
Seated & standing ‘pike-pulsing’
THE WHAT:
Simple contexts for providing stimulus to develop the elasticity & range of the posterior chain in pike/front-folded positions. Not only do these ranges represent what might be called a "fundamental" human-range (i.e. being able to reach forward & touch the ground, hence the age-old fle...
