Click on through to Top 15 Exercises for Higher Vertical Jumps and check out item #2, "Static Hip Flexor Stretch". A couple things caught my eye: first, this stretch sounds very similar to the "Samson Stretch", a Crossfit favorite. Second, the author doesn't recommend static stretching prior to working out (good advice, in my experience) except for the hip flexors. Very interesting exception to the rule, and yet another reference to cross my desk about the primacy of hip action in athletic endeavor.
Hi
I'm Jim Biancolo, and this is stuff I found interesting that I thought you might like too. Here are some of my favorites if you want to start there. Mostly I link to other people, but some stuff is mine, like:
- My AutoHotkey scripts, including one for universal AutoCorrect.
- A list of my favorite action scenes.
- A bunch of movies I liked that are available to watch instantly on Netflix.
- Fun with Bic pens: the Earth Pen and the Fridge Pen.
- My very own oatmeal recipes that sound totally gross but are actually good.
