I will post a video soon about how to properly do so. Coach N I mentioned that you should stretch the hip flexors, not extensors before performing the BSS.

Thanks, as always. One question. You suggest stretching the hip extensor muscles beforehand, Would you please suggest a way to best do this. Also, I do have a problem with anterior pelvic tilt and therefore distended abdominals which all kinds of ab work and rear chain work have so far failed to improve. Any help at all with this problem would be much appreciated. Regards, and Thanks a ton, gene Hi Coach Nick, One more in a long line of “more than just showing an exercise” videos. Thanks, as always.

A "risky" exercise like the back squat coached well is a far better option than willy-nilly application of the latest "Holy Grail" exercise. No such thing as a contraindicated exercise, just contraindicated populations. Best regards, Carson Boddicker Nick,
