🥞 Pancake Pulses – A Simple Drill for Better Flexibility 🥞

Struggling with tight hips and hamstrings? Pancake pulses are a great way to improve your forward fold and overall mobility.

✅ Sit with your legs wide and keep your back straight
✅ Lean forward from the hips, not the lower back
✅ Use small, controlled pulses to deepen the stretch

This drill helps you build active flexibility, not just passive stretch—so you’re not just flexible when you’re sitting on the floor, but when you actually move too.

Give it a go and let us know how it feels! 🔥

The ATG Split Squat 🔥

The ATG (Athletic Truth Group) Split Squat is one of the best exercises for knee health, hip mobility, and lower-body strength. But for many, the biggest challenge isn’t just mobility—it’s balance. That’s why starting with a supported version is a smart move.

🔹 Why Use Support?

Holding onto an upright allows you to focus on depth, control, and proper knee-over-toes positioning without worrying about stability. This helps you safely build strength and mobility before progressing to an unsupported version.

🔹 Benefits of the ATG Split Squat:

✅ Strengthens the VMO & quads for better knee stability
✅ Improves hip flexor mobility through a loaded stretch
✅ Builds joint resilience and reduces injury risk
✅ Helps develop control without compensations

🔹 How to Get Started:

1️⃣ Hold onto a sturdy upright for balance
2️⃣ Lower slowly with control, allowing your knee to travel forward
3️⃣ Keep your front heel down and back leg extended
4️⃣ Push through your front foot to return to standing

Jake demonstrates the supported version here—master this first, then gradually reduce reliance on the support as your control improves.

Give it a try and let us know how it feels! 💙
