FAQ
-
Sessions range from 5 minutes to 20 minutes, so you can easily make gains while fitting in with your schedule.
-
You could do everything here without any real gym equipment. If you are prepping for an event such as Hyrox, best results would see you applying the sport specific strategies in the Phase 4 training on equipment used in the Hyriox stations.
-
This program is designed for those as stiff as a board or as bendy as whatever the opposite of a stiff board is.
The point is to gain flexibility, then ensure we are strong through out full range. The techniques in this program have been proven to create flexibility gains quickly, even in those people who have found stretching and mobility exercises to not work for them
-
Most mobility programs are good at getting you to utilise the range of motion you already have. Plus, they do little to create sport specific gains through creating not only strong, but explosive range of motion.
The techniques in this system;
Create strength through full range
Target tendon strength and function through specific techqniques
Recognise that flexibility is different under different conditions such as speed and load, and program accordingly
Allow you to gain range of motion, then learn how to use that range
Create permanent change (not just in the hours or days after activity) through muscle fibre changes not seen in other programming
-
Stretch Yourself Strong not only uses a wide range of techniques but puts them into an order based on the physiological adaptations they create.
Stretching, dynamic exercise (mobility), eccentric training and a progression of isometric training including end range isometrics, variable angle isometrics, eccentric-quasi isometrics and explosive isometrics.
Which all sounds like a lot of stuff, but rest assured it is easy enough to follow along with!
