Hip Extension: Spinal Flexion Bias
To maximize our time spent training it is important to train the least loaded tissues based on our individual compensatory strategies. FRS systematically helps us do just that while mitigating the risk of injury while improving performance.
With the spine in more flexion it creates a bias toward finding more hip/hamstring drive without compensating into the spine.
The isometric abdominal and bicep work was no joke either.
Not because hip extension with spine extension is bad but to simply work more hip “stuff”.
In watching the video I can see that I lose hip IR so I’ll work on that next time to get more adductor engagement which will help with great hip extension among other things.

Mastering Your Hamstrings
Yes, depending on what you do, weight training for your hamstrings is potentially really important. But, that should not be all you’re doing.
Finding new tissue to train and developing control is very important.
This rapid movement into your regressive tissue at end range is difficult and brutally effective.
End Range Hamstring Training: PRH Hip Flexion W/Hamstring Work
If you walk or run you would most likely benefit from some sort of end range tissue training.
I see a lot of hip extension based athletes come in without any true hip extension training in their program.
In fact, upon assessment (FRA) it is common to see a negative hip extension measurement that can lead to loss of performance or worse.
I combine FRR, the most advanced soft tissue work that I know of, with specific training inputs to improve my clients function and performance.

New Bike Day. Added a Trek Checkpoint to my options and took it for an initial ride. Handles really nice for an intro level gravel bike. I’m still hoping to get my hands on a more bike packing capable bike but this one will at least give me some non-pavement options.
Today it handles light gravel, tree roots, rocks, pavement, curbs and even some train tracks so it’s going to work juuuuust great!

When you start hit a new Vo2 Mac after dedicating two years to an 80/20 Zone 2 plan. For those that don’t know, I turned 44 in February.
Metrics aren’t everything but it is nice to see them change to confirm what you’re feeling during training.
For me my current training wouldn’t be possible without applying FRS principles to everything I’m doing. It’s not just “mobility training”, it’s an advanced thought process for optimizing training inputs.

Don’t forget to maintain your engine.
Some deposits I made this week. Not all of them... I’m lazy at IG 🤷♂️
It’s easy to get sucked into the glamorous stuff. However, when it comes down to it, you need joints that functions properly and a cardiovascular system that can withstand time and entropy.
To my knowledge nobody ever died from a lack of “beach body abs” or a nice tan. 🤯
Mostly low intensity Zone 2 with a healthy but much smaller dose of Zone 4 & 5 work to add enough stress to induce adaptation but not tear you apart.
