Hey Gang,
My friend Tyler Bramlett (not Coach Tyler who works with me) is one of the guys in my Mastermind Group – he is also one of the guys in my ‘accountability group’ that I told you about in an email a few weeks ago.
Anyway, he was telling me about a sale he is running (starting today) on his Warrior Warm-Up as a cool way to celebrate his birthday. I asked him if he had any tips on getting a wider splits that I could share with you goalies, so being a good guy, he made this video for me to share with you. He is a flexible guy, so some of this must work.
Now you know I do not really like it when you round your back as a way to get more stretch in your hamstrings, because I think that just builds more flexibility through the lumbar spine, so I would have you maintain your neutral back as much as you can and pivot from the hips – just my opinion. The video takes about 30 seconds to load, so please be patient once you hit the ‘play’ symbol.

You can check out Tyler’s Warrior Warm-Up HERE if you want to. He has it on sale for $7. This is my affiliate link, I think I earn $4.50 or so when you buy a copy. As I mentioned above, Tyler has some different ideas on developing flexibility, are they exactly what I would do? Not all of them, but if you are looking for some different ideas, then check it out, he is a great guy and gets awesome results with his clients.
Cheers,
M
