Bret Contreras

Bret Contreras just put up an interesting piece on his blog discussing simultaneous hip extension and hip flexion. The video below shows the exercises Bret came up with to train hip extension simultaneously with hip extension on the opposing side.

The exercises have been adapted from the work of Mel Siff and Yuriy Verkhoshansky. I particularly like the look of the first exercise as it would appear to require a co-contraction of the lats along with the glutes.



You can check out Brets blog post here, and I would also strongly recommend you also read this Bret Contreras Interview which is very insightlful.
