Giant sets of 150-200 as unbroken as possible. The lats should be on fire here! No ski erg stand a chance after this 💪

Calling all Hyroxers and CroassFitters!!!

Being most efficient on the ski erg is low hanging fruit when it comes to improving your time.

IF FREAK’N WORKS💪🙌💪

Before your foot leaves the ground, your hip flexors are already at work.

Standing banded hip flexion is a simple exercise that builds strength through the range runners use every stride. Strong hip flexors can improve leg drive, support efficient running mechanics, and help maintain form as fatigue sets in.

This exercise is a 2 for 1 in that it works balance/stability in the stance leg while simultaneously working knee drive in the swing leg.

Train the movement, not just the muscle. 🏃‍♂️💪
