Split Squat Kinetic Stretching
___
Own Every Millimeter Continued
___
Keys:
- Go SLOW maintaing the same tempo throughout the motion
- I am ACTIVELY pulling myself deeper into the stretch. As I lower I am engaging my left glute to CONTROL hip extension while also using the right hamstring to shorten the knee angle and pull into more CONTROLLED hip extension.
- As I raise up I am really driving my both feet into the ground to really engage all musculature involved so I will develop better control across all ranges.
___
Try 5 sets of 3 reps

Butterfly to Pancake Hip Flow
___
Here is another fun hip challenge using @functionalrangeconditioning principles
___
From the butterfly position the goal is to raise the leg as high as possible moving to the straddle position, without compensating elsewhere in the body.
___
From the straddle the goal is to actively pull yourself deep into a pancake stretch, hold briefly at the bottom (by pulling!), and press your heels into the ground coming out of it.
___
Return the legs to the butterfly position the same way you started.
___
Try repeating this for 3-5 reps and let me know how it goes!

Dexterity (noun) - the ability to effectively perform a difficult action quickly and skillfully.
How do you develop such a vague and open attribute?
Here are a few thoughts:
1. Challenge the system. The stimulus will produce the adaptation. Stimulus should have some or all of these characteristics: erratic, chaotic, irregular, a-synchronic, poly-rhythmical, quick, hard to control and at the same time- DOABLE.
2. Use partner(s) or object(s) as both when used wisely, can produce proper challenge. A good partner is invaluable, the best thing we can hope for as practitioners but if not available, use an object that is hard to control or multiple objects.
3. Use variety:consistency balance. You don’t want to become an expert juggler or specialize in a trick collection. Variety will ensure your development is wide but not deep. You got to make peace with the fact it’s not going to be deep as we are not going for narrow specialization. On the other hand you need to stay with the same territory for enough time&work to gain an actual development. 99% of practitioners out there are falling to one side of the other of this spectrum. Few are attempting the delicate balance.
4. Develop dexterity all over the body. Traditionally ‘dexterity’ is mentioned in relation to hand skills. I recommend you develop it in every part of your body to some extent. I’ll use my feet, elbows, spine, head, back, knees, etc
5. Differentiate between good DEMOS of dexterity as in the video above and actual DEVELOPERS of it. I devote most of my time to develop the skills and rarely test it with demos. If I’m going for a demo task I won’t allow myself to ‘train’ it since that would be an over specialization IMO, so I’ll give myself just a few attempts to figure it out and if failed, go back to the drawing board.
To study the subject of dexterity in depth, join us in one of our events across Europe this summer - please follow link in profile to register and join us or take our ONLINE COACHING where we will help you implement such work personally by emailing the office at info@idoportal.com

Own Every Millimeter
___
One way to get better at squatting and help reduce injury is performing Kinetic Stretching with the Squat. Essentially what you are doing is training your body to own every millimeter of the movement.
___
Lower for 10 seconds maintaining the same tempo. At the bottom be actively pulling yourself deeper into the squat for 10 seconds. Raise back up for 10 seconds maintaining the same tempo.
___
Try 5 reps of these before your next weighted squat work

We write so many stories in the mind that erodes our confidence, diminishes our enthusiasm, and literally keeps us from rising to our greatest potential.
•
It’s the thoughts in the mind that sabotage us.
Other people see us and think, “Wow she’s going places! He’s the best father ever!”
•
Next time you’re so excited and ready to take on the next big challenge in your life and the mind says, “Who do you think you are? You can’t do that!” Take a few nice cleansing breaths and say to your mind, “I’m rising to the next level of my magnificent life.”
•
Everything begins and ends in the mind. You are the boss, never let the thoughts intimidate you, change the reel and rise. Repost @peaceful_barb.
