WSSC rehab athlete (ACL) Christian cheese Macca completing the single leg movement Bulgarian squat or rear foot elevated split squat! WSSC believes bi lateral patterns (double leg) is the core of developing fast twitch motor unit recruitment, secondary to this is uni lateral single leg training. Uni lateral training is highly specific due to the nature of running patterning (one foot up/down- closed & open kinetic chain) and minimises any muscular imbalances that the athlete might have through injury or training demands (atrophy- muscle wastage, overdeveloped through certain areas). WSSC lower body push - uni lateral progression of a split squat; Split squat Forward lunge Reverse lunge Lateral lunge Bulgarian squat Split squat (bar front squat- different loading vector) *note: athlete must show movement competencies before progression to next movement ...technique before load, body weight before external resistance ...one athlete has mastered pattern ...load is added ...intent should always be focused on and mind muscle connection - neural stimulation (quality over quantity) There is a skill to the expression of strength ...similar areas of the brain are engaged in the strength and skill = task complexity on the cns when learning new motor patterns Depending on the trunk position will dictate force loading, trunk in a more flexion position (forward) will make the movement more hip dominate (recruit post chain). Trunk in an upright position that coaches posture develops more quad dominate pattern...depending on trunk position dictates force vector and loading! WSSC believes in developing a well rounded neuromuscular profile (strength profile) leading to more movement efficient athletes that are injury resilient and perform at high levels. Contact WSSC now for a science based approach. Coaches tip: 90/90 off back leg, drive through front heel , chest up, eyes forward Info@woodfordssc or PM. #wssc #changingthegame
