Bodyweight hamstring strengthening
Strength is simply the ability to contract our muscles with maximum effort. Weights (like the hamstring curl machine) give us an external force to work against to develop strength. We can also develop strength with bodyweight exercises; by giving ourselves targets, we generate internal forces to make our muscles contract maximally. Side note...muscle cramps suggest we've reached our maximum strength (over time, cramps will subside as we become stronger 💪)
Katie - CSCS, CPT on Instagram: "As a former gymnast I had a ton of laxity in my pelvis and it caused some major problems as my rib cage and lower back became my primary means of stabilizing. My rib cage was super rigid and my spinal erectors were always on. By learning to truly rotate through ribs and expand them outward with the breath into the right places, I was able to begin to more effectively. I used isometrics like 90 90s and hips shifts to create stability at the pelvis. But repositioning the pelvis was not enough. I needed to layer on strength to these drills. Here are 4 drills that do just that! Cues in the video! Check out my Empowered Performance Course if you really want to dive deep. Just a few spots left. #prination #hipmobility #hipstability #ribcage #diaphr

Hunter Elam on Instagram: "If I could go back and start my training journey over again, I would have started training plyometrics sooner. Since incorporating them into my training: -I feel stronger -I am in less pain -I feel less sluggish -I feel more athletic -I am obsessed with training Not to mention the transfer they have to everyday life is unmatched. I would say EVERYONE should have plyometrics in their program. It doesn’t matter the style or training you do, the sport you play, or if you don’t do anything at all. Start training plyometrics! // Ready to build muscle, become more athletic, and PR your lifts? DM “READY” to chat more. @movemountainstraining"
