Ok, so your workout is done and you’re exhausted.
You think there is nothing left to give but there’s a finishing touch that could help solidify the strength gains. This finishing touch on your workout can lead to powerful, long-lasting benefits,
unlocking your body’s full range of motion and potential.
Finish each session by challenging your body to fully extend every major joint from head to toe and hold it for time. This includes your shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, ankles, and even your toes. Once you can’t hold it any more you are finished for the day.
One set — solidifying strength and improving flexibility, mobility, balance, and control.
This is essentially an isometric hold in the most extreme end range positions. By holding these positions, you reinforce your strength at the extreme ends of your range of motion, which can translate to better stability, strength, and power during future workouts.
Reaching your maximum range through every joint in your body—trains these muscles, joints, ligaments, tendons, and importantly your central nervous system to be prepared for
high-demand situations like athletic performance or intense lifting.
Start with your shoulders.
Dead hangs are a powerful way to release tension in the shoulders, spine, and lower back, promoting alignment and decompressing the body. They are also a great exercise to strengthen your shoulder joints and grip strength.
Here are a few variations to try:
PRO TIP:
Dead hangs are a great way to begin your training session. They are as much about holding as they are about breathing. Focus on taking deep, controlled breaths, expanding your chest, and using your core to stay stable.
Ok, you’ve got your upper body taken care of, now it’s time to move to your lower body.
Going beyond a static stretch, the following exercises encourage the full range of motion from your ankles up to your hips, helping with everything from improved running mechanics to injury-proofing your lower body.
PRO TIP: You can also bend your working knee to change the angle of your ankle and hold it any position where you would like to strengthen your foot position.
These lower body exercises are used by some of the most explosive sprinters in the world to strengthen their legs, ankles, and feet. The good news is they can also enhance your body’s mobility and resilience, and they only take a few minutes at the end of your workout!
Challenge yourself to hold each position longer each time. You'll be amazed at how this small addition can impact every other part of your training.
