Have been using the @stickmobility Single-Leg Deadlift Variation as a hip opener prior to every workout and as primer before Loaded Single-Leg Deadlifts.
– I love this variation, especially for clients (like myself) who have an exaggerated Lordotic Curve / Lumbar Extension pattern.
– Driving the stick into the ground creates enough force for me to maintain abdominal tension and ultimately control my thoracopelvic position (“Zone of Apposition”).
– The stick keeps me honest and ensures that I’m truly extending at my hip joint and NOT my low back.
