CHOOSE YOUR STRETCHING BIAS Tom Merrick 2023-11-11 | When performing the bent leg hip flexor variations we can either target knee flexion (quad stretch) or hip extension (hip flexor stretch).For most people working on the quad first will really help the hip feel more open in extension.If you’re focusing on the hip flexor, focus on posteriorly tucking the hips by engaging the glutes.To increase the stretch, more more upright but don’t lose this hip tuck and allow the extension to come from the hip. You’re cheating yourself out of a the bias you need!Happy stretching✌️#BodyweightWarrior #EmbraceTheSuck
How Tempo Make Every Exercise More Effective! Tom Merrick 2023-11-05 | TRY MY WORKOUTS: bodyweightwarrior.co.uk/appPrograms for strength, flexibility and handstands at any level.MONTHLY NEWSLETTER: bodyweightwarrior.co.uk/newsletterSHOP: http://www.bodyweightwarrior.co.uk/shopINSTAGRAM: @TheBodyweightWarriorinstagram.com/thebodyweightwarriorTempo is one of the most important training variables to consider. It dictates the quality of the training and the effect it has. Performing reps too quickly can miss out on many benefits from increasing muscle mass, improving flexibility, conditioning connective tissue, learning new moves and more. Slow eccentrics are one of the main aspects to this but also using pauses in weak points and in stretched positions.References:ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6977096frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2019.00536/fulllink.springer.com/article/10.2165/00007256-200737090-00004link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40279-016-0628-4pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30335577journals.lww.com/nsca-jscr/fulltext/2017/09000/hypertrophic_effects_of_concentric_vs__eccentric.31.aspxTIMESTAMPS:00:00 Not All Reps Are Equal0:19 Why You Should Consider Tempo1:07 What Exercise Tempos Mean1:42 Slow Eccentrics Improve Movement Patterns2:28 Use Negative Only Reps To Learn New Skills2:57 Pauses Can Improve Weak Points3:48 How To Improve Flexibility With Any Exercise4:56 Use More Range To Build More Muscle5:23 Don't Just Count Reps5:44 Let Me Know Your Approach!

SQUAT DEEPER WARM UP👇 Tom Merrick 2023-10-05 | Ankle flexibility tends to be the most common restriction and best place to start. The ability to dorsiflex and shift the knee over the toes greatly reduces the loading and flexibility requirement at the hips to perform a deep squat.Try this as a warm up for your session:A1. Fisherman’s Calf Stretch - 2x60sA2. Squat Calf Raise - 2x10rThe key to both of these is understanding how to use the front of the shin to contract and pull the knee forward, allowing more range of motion.Make sure you pair this with using the range through squatting or lunges to maximise results.#BodyweightWarrior#EmbraceTheSuck

Externally rotate more! One of the keys to improving long-term strength gains is that it is done in a balanced way. The external rotators can play a big role in slowing pushing strength, especially on movements such as the handstand push up and planche.EXAMPLE:- Phase 1 -A. Side External Rotation - 3x15 per side (2-0-2-0)B. Facepull - 3x15 (2-0-2-0)- Phase 2 -A. Side Abducted External Rotation - 4x10 per side (3-0-1-1)B. Sword Draw - 4x10 per side (3-0-1-1)- Phase 3 - A.

Strengthen then lengthen, it's the secret that many top coaches use. Strengthen through a full range of motion, whether that is general strength training or specific flexibility moves. Strength is your best friend, especially when it's done through a large range. Once you're strong, you can get long. Start with passive stretching, opening up the shoulders and hips. If you want to achieve the big 5, then add some specific flexibility drills and work towards the bridge, pike, front split, middle split and pancake.MUSIC BY:musicbed.comTIMESTAMPS:0:00 The Best Flexibility Exercise?0:21 The Secret To Flexibility Training0:45 Flexibility For Beginners1:50 Adding Flexibility To Your Training2:28 What Flexibility Level Should You Aim For?2:56 Training The Big 53:42 Why The Secret Works4:30 How To Strengthen For Flexibility4:53 Different Ways Of Lengthening6:09 Full Body Examples6:49 Thanks To Squarespace

HOW TO USE PNF TO GET FLEXIBLE 👆 Tom Merrick 2023-03-14 | CRAC, not that crack, is a straightforward PNF method that works in all stretches to get more flexible. Watch the full video on my channel to find out more! Here are the headlines 👇CRAC = contract relax agonist contract.First contract the stretched muscle, and relax deeper. Next contract the opposing muscle and repeat.Contractions must be hard and for at least 3s but ideally between 6-10s. Don’t go from 0-100, ramp up to that max effort over the isometric.The quality of these efforts is the difference between making progress and not. The better you can apply it, the better the progress will be.Happy stretching 💪
