HAMSTRING MOBILITY with @dr.jcardozadpt . Looking to improve your hamstring mobility for the deadlift? Check out this sequence of stretching to get real lasting improvements in your mobility. 1. Dynamic hamstring stretch. Keep the back flat as you reach forwards the leg. 2. Using your hip, squeeze a ball against your chest. While keeping pressure against the ball extend the knee. You will feel the quads working hard and should feel a stretch to the back of the legs. 3. Hold onto something for balance. Squeeze the glutes to maintain a neutral spine. Raise your feet off the ground and attempt to extend knee as straight as you can while maintaining your hip position. 4. Lastly, we want to load the hamstrings using a movement like the single leg RDL. Go as low as you can while keeping the flat back. . 🚨Stay tuned for the rest of our deadlift series 🚨 #repthehamstrings https://www.instagram.com/p/Bno8pt4n_eU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6v79tp8iv1di
