On this episode of Through the Line: Coffee with Coaches, we discuss programming stretching between your main core movements. An example would be doing a set of back squat, then immediately doing a pigeon stretch afterwards before their next back squat set. We have seen this at many different levels of strength and conditioning and in this episode we explain our thoughts! 

Talking Points:

• What is inter-set stretching
• Proper ways to implement mobility in your programming
• Mobility/Stretching is NOT time filler! 
• Lets talk hip flexor pain
