Hip Extension Holds

Mike Potenza

Here are some hip extension exercises that focus on the ISOMETRIC phase of the contraction. We use these ISO's early in our off-season program to re-edcuate our players on proper glute contraction both in straight leg and bent knee positions.

Exercise 1 - Hyper Hold x3sets 6,5,4,3,2,1 sec ((During each set you hold the top position for 6sec,5sec,4sec,3sec,etc..... You will come down into full flexion between each timed hold.

Exercise 2 - 1 leg hip extension w/ Psoas hold 3x:10sec each side ((Here we get 1 leg hip extension hold and opposite leg Psoas work))
