How's your unilateral overhead squat looking? Was chatting with one of my best guys about this movement and told him I'd send him a video of a drill I like, so I figured I'd share it with all of you. As I say in the video, if your issue is one of the mobility, this drill will not help you. You must first go work on your shitty mobility. If you have the prerequisite mobility, but have some difficulty patterning the movement, this could be a great drill for you.
Simple RNT principles at play here, with the band trying to exacerbate the dysfunctional pattern, a.k.a. feeding the bleed. The band tries to pull you into flexion and rotation (IT IS NOT THERE TO HOLD YOU UP!), you reflexively activate to counter that. Notice that I'm using a super light band. It's there just to CUE the pattern, not physically assist it. The end result, a more upright torso. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
PS – those are my favorite leggings.
PPS – yes, I almost fell during that first rep. Can't be perfect all the time ?
