 1 - Flexibility.

Start off opening new ROM with exercises like Jefferson Curls, and pair it with active work like the Floor Leg Lift.

Try to take these exercises seriously, rather than seeing them as a box to tick. Measure your progress with them and try to increase your range over time.

2 x 3 reps - J Curl
2 x 5-8 reps - Floor Leg Lift

2 - Strength work.

Everyone is weak in the L position because this is where the legs are heaviest against gravity.

Extensions are amazing at strengthening this sticking point because we’re moving slowly through it.

We’re also building shoulder stability here which gets slept on if you’re spending too much time with “fluff” exercises that only target the Abs.

3 sets of 3 reps.

‍ ‍
3- Dynamic work.
Perform 5 kipping movements- the key is staying in rhythm.
