Have you ever thought about lifting weights in the gym as therapy?
_____________________________________________________
There is something so pure, so exuberant, so captivating and something that keeps you in the moment when approaching a big lift
_____________________________________________________
A lot of people won't know what I am talking about and thats ok!
But to be able to experience being so focused on one goal that the noises around you start to drown out as you approach the bar and the only thing that matters in that moment is you, the bar, the weight and if you are going to win this battle or not.
_____________________________________________________
It is a very compelling experience, one that I am grateful to have been a part of and I hope that I will be a life long strength advocate and experience many more times in the years to come.
_____________________________________________________
If you workout for looks, for fat loss, for endurance, for anything else, that is amazing, I am truly happy that you are pursuing something in the gym.
However I challenge you to at least one time in the gym try to understand what I am talking about.
One of my greatest memories was the feeling of squatting over 500lbs
A goal that at the time, I was obsessed with conquering.
Find what you want to conquer, Find your obsession

Old school kelly Starrett Stlye ———————————————————————————
Adding traction to stretching will help decompress the area and create a better environment for movement!!
———————————————————————————
Step 1.
Place one leg through the band that is attached to the top of a squat rack or pull up bars and wrap it around your butt cheek
———————————————————————————
Step 2.
Lay down onto your back and bring you leg (same side as band) up as high as you can while keeping it to the floor and off to your side ———————————————————————————
Step 3.
Place a weight on your leg to help keep it pinned down and a good stretch. Use small contractions (pushing into the weight, lifting up for 3secs) and then relax. Perform 10 sets to start.
———————————————————————————
Step 4.
Stand up and see how that hip feels. Try out some squats
Repeat on the other side! ———————————————————————————
Try it out and let me know how it goes!

Next time you do a hip flexor stretch like this one, don’t just let you pelvis be relaxed. ————————————————————————-
Tuck your pelvis under and hold that position to feel a greater stretch in your hip flexors. You will not need to lean as far into this stretch to get the benefit.
Most people will find that you get a much deeper stretch this way. ————————————————————————-
Try it out and let me know what you think!

Quick little groin and adductor stretch!
————————————————————————-
Make sure you butt is against the wall and just let your legs hang. If your really tight (like me) you don’t need any extra resistance. ————————————————————————-
If you would like, you can add a thin red band around your lower back hooked on both feet to help increase the stretch. ————————————————————————-
Remember take it easy and focus on your breathing.
Let me know what else you would like to see!!
