HP Performance Training

Sharing mobility exercises to include on days you squat & lunge.

Comfort through ranges of motion & lack of stability are areas that prevent many from squatting with control & confidence.

This routine allows me to do that! This is before any dynamic movements or isometric holds.

Let me know any questions, thoughts, or if you have a preferred warm up before squats.

One of the Big 3: Deadlift

Why a trap bar?

It’s shoulder friendly by allowing a neutral grip, along with a wider handles may promote more trap contribution & allows autonomous retraction of the back. Meaning more strength and a lesser risk of injury.

Hip friendly too! Less depth due to the height to handle compared to a conventional barbell lift.

What’s with the stepping on a resistance band? It’s a great tool to challenge the concentric phase of this lift in an alternative way rather than adding more plates or pushing a 1RM today. I refer to it as manipulating the strength curve, as in I may be stronger going into that next 1RM session with a conventional barbell lift.

This was my main lift of the day, accompanied by single leg Romanian deadlifts, hamstring curls, and mobility exercises throughout the brief session at with equipment you won’t find at your average gym.
