Cook Hip Lift vs Band - THIRSTgym.com
The Cook Hip Lift vs Band is a mobility and activation based drill to strengthen the glutes and hamstrings, while having the hip flexors relax. This helps "unlock" tight hips and prepare the body for lower body activities. This is a similar exercise as a glute bridge, but can further improve mobility. It works best as a warm up or a lower level exercise for beginners and youth athletes getting into strength training.

      @joshtapiwa541 I've not been in the intensive, but I was part of IFASTU with Bill and Mike Robertson for 2 years, and have taken several courses with Alex Effer and Conor Harris (who got their material from Bill Hartman). So I'm really familiar with his model (still always trying to learn and improve upon it though!).

    Hey brandon, love your video explaining it. Quick question, i practice bjj about 4 days week. I am trying to gear this more towards hypertrophy at least for like a 3-4 month block. My question is how do i progressively overload for that block. Do i add volume each week ?

    • @bsmitley
      @bsmitley Před měsícem

      Thanks for the question. My suggestion would be to use high rep DB and back work. I would progress that volume on the same accessories for your full wave before swapping exercises. For example on DB Bench and Chest Supported DB Rows: Wk 1 - 3x12 Wk 2 - 3x15 Wk 3 - 4x12-15 Wk 4 - 4x15-20 Likey the same weight each week, but aiming to get more reps each session. This would yield about a double in training volume in a month...and you could do this with several exercises if needed.

      Thanks for the question. It would really depend on the movement and how it's applied. Iso yielding would be like pulling or pushing into pins. The overcoming would be then removing the pins, or doing a similar exercises afterwards. This could also be something like a pause squat or chair deadlift.

    Fantastic video! Inspired my purchase of a 2004 with 26k miles. Like you said, it's FAST! I know you said, you're not a mechanic or Viper expert, but I do have a question that you can answer from your own experience. My 2004 clicks and creaks when I'm backing up or pulling into my uneven parking space while turning the steering wheel. Not when I'm driving on the road, etc. I've been told Gen3 Vipers have so much power and steering flex during low speed steering on bumpy ground, that it's normal and common. Have you personally ever heard noises while parking or steering over driveway or parking lot entrances? Thank you for sharing your amazing video:))) I love my 2004 Viper too!!!

      All my exercise index videos show how to perform the movement, but also explain how to program and implement. If anything, knowing HOW to use an exercise in context of a program and training goal is just as important, if not more important than just the execution of the exercise itself. Showing how to use a hammer is useless if you're going to use said hammer with a screw instead of a nail.

    • @bsmitley

      That's what I typically do, yes. So in a 4 week cycle, you'll get 2 max effort pulls, aiming to break a PR the second time around.
