In this interview there was one particular point made that was extremely timely considering yesterdays post on training hip flexion and hip extension simultaneously.
McGill stated that explosive hip flexion training plays an important role in developing sprinting speed, but is also very hard on the back. This sentiment supports my thoughts on the exercises presented by Bret Contreras in yesterdays blog post. The activation of the latissimus Dorsi during hip fexion/extension movements will allow for greater hip stability during such exercises. This is a positive move when it comes to minimising the risk of injury.
