Strength Phase Full Week 2 – #284 5’10” Dunk Journey 2.0

FULL WORKOUT BELOW:

Monday:

Focus on range of motion and stretching
I myself, focus on hips and hamstrings because those are my tightest muscles
I don’t show entire stretch but I usually get warm with some pulsating movements and leg kicks
I really like the leg kicks I showed where its almost like a karate kick high and kinda a rainbow motion. Really helps my hips open up

I stretch and push deeper and try to reach just a little bit further every stretch and hold and push till I get further and try to lengthen my muscles
I do this with all leg muscle groups (focus on hamstrings and hips but hit quads calves, groin and lower back as well)
I also like to hang on a pullup bar to help my stretch my shoulders and back

Then sauna for 15-20 min
