Greetings all,
so after a solid and consistent year of GST, I finally conquered MN/PE1 with approval from the coaches after a video review.
I tried my first attempt at PE2 and was not surprised to see that I could not bring my legs up high enough due to extremely tight hamstrings. I could sit up easily, but the legs just would not comply with my demands.
So my question is this, should I stay on step 1 until I get the required range of movement; or should I move onto the next step and keep working the position while I work on the stretching and mobility side to acquire the necessary form? Obviously I would not move onto the next PE till form was achieved.
Secondly, due to the tight hamstrings my Jefferson curl range of motion is poor. Hanging out at 90 degrees is producing some uncomfortable sensations in my lower back afterwards. I think I heard a long time ago that Coach recommended bending the knees till we could get past that point. How much should the bend in the knees be? Only so much till the lower back is below 90 degrees? Some clarification would be appreciated here.
On a happier note, I finally got to my first ever F2 exercise this week so motivation to train is high.
