Six Minute Stretch Session [Complete Squat Workout]

The squat is a balance between strength and flexibility and requires good mobility to do well … In today's episode we continue to unpack our latest 6-Minute Stretching series designed to dramatically increase your squat mobility in rapid time.

This new squat routine is for improving both squat range of motion and squat strength. Squat flexibility is extremely important if you want to go heavy in your workouts to develop increased lower body strength.

This is the most efficient and effective squat stretching and squat mobility routine we've ever created. In this episode we continue this series with the final two awesome movements from the squat stretching routine, which are the active hero stretch and the squat body positioning and mobility drills.

Key Discussion Points:
1. The final two key components to a performance boosting, injury reducing warm up
joint mobilisation (what it is and why it’s important)
body positioning (what it is and why it’s important)
2. How to improve your warm up efficiency by choosing complimentary movements
3. How the drills we use in the UMS warm up apply to and benefit squat training

Including mobility and body positioning drills that have a strong cross over to the types of exercise you’re about to participate in is key to increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of your warm up.

The biggest mistake people make when warming up is that they perform movements that fail to compliment their workout, often leaving you more fatigued and injury prone.

Would love to see a deadlift specific warm-up. I and a couple of friends have had lower back problems from deadlifts.
Cheers guys. I love your scientific approach to exercise

Really like the way you guys go through the finer points, nuances, cautions, and regressions of each of the movements. Its a world of difference in learning the technique vs watching someone who steamrolls through a movement and you wonder... wow what just happened, why is he doing this, what if I can't get that far, and where is my weight balanced during the motion. All those details you go through make it really easier to genuinely learn it and get results. Thanks.

I've tried to download the flexibility blueprint at least on 3 occasions. A message props up telling me it'll be in my mail in 12 minutes and it never arrives.
What do I have to do to get it?

Is this a good warmup for beach volleyball?
