This channel has the best lifting and mobility content out there, bar none. Specificity, inventiveness, efficiency, crystal clear instructions. And always blessedly SHORT! You get more done in 90 seconds than most of the others in 15 minutes.
Dude, this is the content that separates this channel from other Olympic Weightlifting channels. Always something new to throw into the bag of tricks. Its almost like you understand us. 😎
Are you able to advise on workout pairings to 2-a-days? I'm finishing up AKP and want to step up my training. I need leg strength and overhead strength most right now, so I'm considering All Legs All Day in the morning and Ultimate Punch in the afternoon. Thanks man, love your work!
Yes, my advice is that's a bad idea. Way too much. I have world champ level competitors who don't come anywhere near that volume. More isn't better. Stepping up your training should be done by refining the content to be most suitable and effective for you personally, working harder consistently in every session, and doing everything you can outside of training to support that training. At most, add accessory work you need more of, e.g. unilateral leg work, more trunk work, etc.
Primarily to ensure you're able to the hips through their full ROM without drag/impedance, which helps prevent injury, pain, etc., and in the case of weightlifting, frees the hips to open more easily and completely, which means more speed and a better ability to finish the snatch/clean pull. Lifters very often have very tight hip flexors, which can place additional strain on the lower back by tugging the lumbar vertebrae into a more hyperextended position, etc.
If they're noticeably weak, at least some of the tightness is a result of that weakness/instability, so you need to add strength work, not just stretching. Ab work that includes hip flexion, e.g. hanging leg raises / knees to elbows, and things like dead bugs will help.
@@CatalystAthletics thanks Greg. Keep up the videos and posts, I think we all really learn and enjoy them. Been following you for many years now, time flies. But yeah, I am terrible at hip flexion based ab stuff, I will keep at it. I think it is the key, as I just can't get them to be 'less tight', and I have hypermobility in a lot of my joints so its a strange one. Same with hamstrings, kinda.
Thx for this great content. Big Fan! Does this type of stretches help for reducing Snapping Hip Syndrome? Would love to see some recovery, rehabilitation stretches or exercises for the elderly 👨🏼🦳 (like me)

Legend, thanks coach!
LMAO dog toys! I incorporate a hip circle every warmup, just put the fucker on
Whats the purpose of loosening up your hip flexor?
Primarily to ensure you're able to the hips through their full ROM without drag/impedance, which helps prevent injury, pain, etc., and in the case of weightlifting, frees the hips to open more easily and completely, which means more speed and a better ability to finish the snatch/clean pull.

@@CatalystAthletics ahhhh.... i see. thank you
Also to get deeper in a full snatch
Any advice if I do these and still feel like I have tight and weak hip flexors?
If they're noticeably weak, at least some of the tightness is a result of that weakness/instability, so you need to add strength work, not just stretching. Ab work that includes hip flexion, e.g. hanging leg raises / knees to elbows, and things like dead bugs will help.
