17.4 FLEXIBILITY
As we previously mentioned in Chapter 2, flexibility training has a critical impact in muscle development. In this case, we should
focus our stretching session on improving shoulder and pike flexibility, hip and waist rotation and extension, thoracic mobility, and extension of the latissimus dorsi and intercostal muscles (to improve overall range of motion toward the back flag/side planche).
- Foam roller exercises.
- General shoulder stretching (“dislocations” with resistance bands, stall bars, etc.)
- Rectus abdominis, obliques (internal, external).
- "L" stretching: Latissimus dorsi (lats), abdominal obliques (internal, external), intercostal muscles, serratus anterior, teres
(major and minor), etc.
- Thoracic mobility exercises, as well as stretching the back, pectoralis major, coracobrachialis, etc., on the floor with assistance.
- Stretching the hips and waist on the floor (extension, rotation, flexion, etc.), psoas and Iliacus (iliopsoas), hamstring muscles,
etc.
