I think too many people in the game (and I'm guilty of this) focus on getting stronger, faster, etc. and not enough on posture, flexibility, re-/prehab, etc. I know I need to put more of it into my own training. So thanks for bringing more of this to our attention. Question - how much of your overall training should be dedicated to this type of training? B/c I see a few coaches (which I won't name) who seem to make up the vast majority of their programs with this type of training. Now, while I understand that, I still think that you gotta get stronger. Having f'ed up posture and flexibility, but being able to squat 650 is no good. At the same time, having perfect posture, great flexibility, and well prehab-ed joints doesn't do you any good if you're a puss and only squat 225...lol. Thoughts?

I just hit you up via email on my thoughts, but in general the knee need rotation too (3 D as you say). As odd as it sounds, many time opposite ELBOW mobility work is great for the knees. Humans it seems are hardwired to walk (gait) and think if the hamstring action as you extend and contract your bicep on the opposite arm. Working on LEFT elbow mobility will help the RIGHT knee. I first learned this in the Z-Health R Phase cert.

I agree that this can be a great exercise for rehab and just getting a lot of reps in if you have an inury. A PT that I used to work with has done these with patients that have had total knee replacements as a way to increase the amount of knee flexion that they get during gait (walking). The band acts as an assist in this instance to help flex the knee when the foot is lifted off the ground during walking. We use a variety of exercises like this and they tend to work really well. Great exercise to reestablish neuromuscular control of the quads, hamstrings, and glutes also. This is a 5 star video for sure! Smitty,
