This is exactly what I was looking for. I started doing this intuitively but it's nice to have some concrete info to work from. I appreciate it

Would you be willing to do a video covering the Jefferson curl? Thanks for this video!

That’s actually the next one I’m doing! Stay tuned🙌🏼

Hi and thanks for sharing all your videos, I been on the stretch martial arts journey which started about 1.8 yrs and prior to I've never stretched due to injuries and to be honest when I was in my 20s 30s I just believed I was to tight to painful for me to do , boy was I wrong, I literally worked out and actually was extremely strong and jacked but only up top and my legs I worked out only for 6 months in my 20s then injured so I always felt my legs were strong and athletic, anywsy now after daily all day every day stretching and dancing my body's getting stronger and stronger, so I can actively get right into all the horse strengths ( 3,5 steps etc) but I never really tried staying in the position, only for a few seconds but now I'm progressing and I believe seeing your video basically answered my question that I recently prayed for, which was asking the higher powers how to get stronger legs and hips so I can last longer while training kungfu. I can kick with speed and power , but I feel strengthing my body will allow me to train longer etc.. so do you recommend a starting point for me, definitely start with body weight holds but fir hiw long ? Daily? And any other secret tips for getting strength stamina as quick as possible??

Treat your flexibility the same as you would any other form of strength & conditioning. Prioritize intensity over frequency. Rather than doing a relatively low-intensity flexibility session every day, do a high intensity flexibility session 3x/week. Give your body time to recover in between sessions. By the sounds of it, this exercise would be perfect for you to start progressively overloading your flexibility training🙌🏼 Give it a try and let me know how it goes!

Hi Philip, thansk for the content. Im a taiji practioner, during the forms executions we must keep the pelvis tucked in all the time, arch on the lower back is something we try to avoid. Can I do the same training that you explained on in this video without the tilt of the pelvis?

Yes, you can. It’s a less anatomically advantaged position for this particular application - but if it’s more specific to the discipline you’re training then it’s worth training that way🙌🏼

Is it better than horse stance squats? Would it be to much to do both on same session? Thanks coach

Both are good. ISO Horse Pull is better for accumulating time under tension, Horse Squats are better for moving into those end ranges dynamically. No need to do them in the same session - would be better to alternate between the two

So toes out, not inward like a 'real' horse stance?

Yes exactly. Turning your toes out will allow you to find more external rotation at the hips than the traditional horse stance, which allow you to open up the knees and find more length through the groin🙌🏼
