Good stuff Lach and Slim.

THIS WAS SO USEFUL, I've been doing Pigeon stretch all wrong.

[@TClimbs]

What's your opinion regarding strength and conditioning? Could you do a similar video on some weights or gymnastic exercises that carry over or do you think hard training is sufficient? Great video btw

[@sienjong2762]

thank you so much man your videos are always helpful all the time :D

[@nathanwanjau4090]

Awesome stuff

[@RudyWarman]

Great Advice!

[@2008israelramos]

Doesn't Lachlan have a Phd in physiology or kinetics? I was looking for this exact information on the net and this was the better than I could have hoped for. How long should we hold the strech Lachlan and any suggestions about how many minutes/day we should stretch.

[@TheGrapplingNinja]

Do you recommend pnf with the stretches as warm up and static as cool down ?

[@huskylord123]

my god that hand under knee stretch was tough

[@johnhollywoodparker1]

Thanks for the video! are you doing these stretches dynamically? or holding them static for long periods? and do you do them before or after you train?
