You guys almost make Sacramento seem attractive. That's about the highest praise I have ever given anyone, as nobody has yet made Bakersfield seem attractive. ;-)
I love the recognition of old-school physical culture (stumbled across you guys while looking for writings by Hackenschmidt), the subculture feel (half my friends are in the BM community), and the level of grace/form in your mobility work along with serious strength training.
-lately I've enjoyed adding a slight crunch like movement in the up phase to activate the abdominal muscles as well (this may be notable in the video). As for the speed of the movement, I was emphasizing more of a max force development aspect of the lift; both heavy & very quick or explosive movements are manifestations of high force development which was a recurring theme in this workout so I went a little faster instead of slow & controlled for this part of the combo.
Hi Daniele, thanks for watching. There are obviously different ways to do these exercises & none of them are the 'right' or 'only' way to do it. In this video I isolated the movement at the knee to emphasize the hamstring & calf muscles as the active rotators in the movement. Keeping the body straight from the knee to the shoulder requires the muscles of the spine & hip to act as stabilizers so they are constantly active
thanks!

Your videos deserve to be watched.

why you just do the knee flexion's phase, and with bouncing too?
thanks
