***NEW ARTICLE!!! The TRUTH About YOGA, Flexibility, & Mobility Training!!! Get ready for a paradigm shift in the fitness industry!!! Article link at .
This new article is guaranteed to change your views on yoga training, mobility, flexibility, range of motion, ATG squats, & corrective exercise. I also provide a many alternative movements for maximizing your mobility, ROM, & flexibility without sacrificing joint health & risking injury.
With that said, this eccentric isometric overhead lunge/split squat I’m performing here is one of 20+ exercise alternatives I provide in the article. In fact the overhead lunge split squat is one of the single most effective drills you can perform not only for improving functional strength throughout the entire body but also for improving mobility, flexibility, motor control, balance, stability, & posture from head to toe. That’s because the overhead position helps to further elongate the muscles around the hips, spine, core, & lumbopelvic hip complex due to the nature of the various anatomy slings & myofascial slings that run through the body. Just make sure you don’t over-stretch but instead use approximately 90 deg joint angles. Remember, maximal ROM & optimal ROM are 2 very different things.
Now you obviously don’t have to go heavy to get many of the benefits of overhead lunges. In fact, simply performing overhead lunges with light weight or even bodyweight is something I recommend most of my clients do on a consistent basis if they ever experience any tightness throughout the kinetic chain as it does wonders for providing immediate relief in tight muscles as well as helping to re-set neuromuscular tone and tension of various muscles throughout the kinetic chain.
However, if you’re able to progress to the point that you can handle heavy loads in an eccentric isometric fashion, not only will you have likely optimized your functional mobility & flexibility but also your strength, stability, balance, & many other biomotor capabilities.
