Respect your elders, Son! At my age I can't be expected to remember what you posted yesterday.![]()
^ Yeah, but life always isn't fair. Sometimes life gives you apples when what you really wanted was a peach.![]()
Or a big giant fat kid on fire...
I shall have to do so tomorrow. Is it the jerky, or the bites?
Oh, I did hip flexion with kettlebells too, worked like a dream. Stabilizing the weight by dorsiflexing works the ant. tib like a mofo. I wonder if this movement would be good specific strengthening for running since you are supposed to be dorsiflexed during hip flexion while during recovery.
it sounds good on paper. The only problem is that if you are coming from below 90 degrees of hip flexion, all hip flexors are going to be working. if you start with your foot on a bench, at 90 degrees of hip flexion, only the Psoas can work, as it is the only one working above 90 degrees. So, if you are starting below 90 degrees and you are already having muscle imbalances, i would think that loading up hip flexion would just increase the problem. but then again...what the fuck do i know.
So, if someone has a weak Psoas, you wouldn't do the movement because you would get synergistic dominance from the other hip flexors because the weight is already moving? Sounds right to me.
right.
and given the way most people run (especially sprinters) their psoas seems to be pretty shitty....hence the reason they don't get a good follow through with their hips during the swing phase.
Is your psoas tight? I would rate my program prior to learning the NASM and CSCS stuff as horribly shitty, but most of these tests that Boyle and Cook came up with are so easy. Maybe that is why my 40 was slow as shit.![]()
