Learn Proper Breathing Patterns: Learn to Lift More

TAGS: proper breathing mechanics, Postural Restoration Institute, Postural Restoration, Dysfunctional Breather, Diaphragmatic breathing, Breathing Mechanics, 90-90 Hip Lift, Core Stabilization, breathing, PR, squat When we talk squatting, the first muscles that come to mind are almost always quads. The more advanced and educated will have a long list of additions: hamstrings, glutes, spinal erectors, and (last but not least) core.

Facts Needed to Prevent Hamstring Strains

Facts Needed to Prevent Hamstring Strains By: Brad Longazel Once you’ve experienced a hamstring strain, you wish nothing more than for it to never have happened or at least for it to never happen again. The sad truth behind this desire is that once you’ve strained it once, it has an increased risk of reoccurring.
