Strong Hamstrings Aren't Just Flexible. They're Active.

Many people spend time stretching their hamstrings but never learn how to use that new range of motion.

The goal isn't just to touch your toes, it's to own the range.

That's why we train:
✅ Passive Range Holds to build strength at your end range.
✅ Passive Range Lift-Offs to teach your hamstrings and hip flexors to actively control that flexibility.

Why do hip flexors matter?

When you lift your leg, your hip flexors need to be strong enough to actively pull it into that range. If they're weak, your body can only access that flexibility with external assistance, making it difficult to use during sport, exercise, or everyday movement.

Mobility isn't just about getting more range, it's about creating usable range that your nervous system trusts.

3 Benefits of L-Sit Training

The L-sit looks simple, but it develops strength, control, and mobility all at once.

1. Shoulder Stability
Holding an L-sit requires active depression and protraction of the shoulder blades (scapular control). This teaches you how to create a strong, stable shoulder position while supporting your bodyweight. An essential skill for handstands, push-ups, and overall upper-body strength.

2. Flexibility
A proper L-sit demands hamstring flexibility and compression through the hips. As you practice lifting and holding your legs, you'll develop active flexibility rather than simply relying on passive stretching.

3. Core Strength
Your entire core works overtime in an L-sit. The abdominals must resist spinal extension while the hip flexors actively hold the legs up. The result is a stronger, more functional core that carries over to everything from sports to daily movement.

The L-sit isn't just a core exercise, it's a full-body skill that builds strength, stability, and mobility at the same time.

Splits and L-sit training are one of the best combinations for building strong, usable mobility.

Splits develop flexibility through the hips, hamstrings, and adductors, while L-sits build active strength and compression through the core and hip flexors. Together, they improve both range and control. not just how far you can move, but how well you can own those positions.

The result:
• Better mobility
• Stronger core control / hip flexors
• Healthier hips
• More efficient movement

Flexibility without strength can feel unstable. Strength without mobility can feel restricted. Training both creates balance.

That’s why Splits n’ L-Sits is built around developing mobility you can actually use.

Coming soon! DM for more info.

The Cossack Squat: Loaded end-range adductor training.

Own the range.

The Cossack Squat develops strength and motor control throughout your available range of motion. It takes the hip into abduction and the adductors into a lengthened, loaded position.

Why this pattern matters:
→ Trains the adductors under load at end-range
→ Develops articular strength in hip abduction and internal/external rotation
→ Builds the capacity to express range, not just access it passively
→ Supports joint health by loading the hip through positions it rarely gets trained in

Copenhagen plank challenges the adductors in a functional, long-lever position while simultaneously torching your obliques and shoulders.

The Benefits:

Groin Injury Prevention: Essential for anyone in high-impact sports or deep-range movement.

Pelvic Stability: Improves gait mechanics. Mitigates injury.

Lateral Core Strength: It’s a side plank on steroids.

The Progressions
There are many ways to scale this exercise depending on your current strength. These are just a few variations to get you started:
