Gary Berger — Wed, 23 Sep 2020 16:30:00 +0000

If you have tight shoulders from BJJ or just from prolonged sitting, then this technique will be very useful. It also can be slightly modified to work on stretching tight hamstrings.

Build Hip Control And Stretch The Hamstrings With This Exercise

Gary Berger — Wed, 11 Sep 2019 22:39:57 +0000

I have been focusing more on active stretching and movement to assist with engaging and firing muscle groups to get warmed up for training or activity.

By actively moving the legs and hips, I’m activating the muscles which gets them firing, and ultimately warms up the tissue and gets the areas prepare and ready for movement.

An active warm up with movement and muscle activation is key in performance as well as decreased risk of injury.

I go through a number of variations with this exercise and have found it challenging and beneficial while trying it out.

Let me know your thoughts and send me any questions below!

*** I have just released my new warm-up that was created specifically for grapplers!
The warm-up includes dynamic movements, stretches, range of motion exercises, muscle activation exercises, and a bunch more content that I have used myself and with my training partners to allow for an effective and useful warm-up to keep you healthy and training.

Banded Hamstring Stretch For Improved Flexibility and Hip Mobility

Gary Berger — Wed, 03 Jul 2019 15:30:01 +0000

In this technique we address the tightened musculature in the hamstrings as well as the hips.

This technique uses a resistance band to provide some activation and assisted stretching to get a more complete stretch to the hamstring and the hip.

We move through multiple planes including forward, outward, and inward to include multiple areas of the hamstring and hip.

1. Leg Forward.
2. Leg Outward
3. Leg Inward
4. Leg Circles

In the video I use a “Rogue Monster Band” but you can find similar items on Amazon.com
