Daily Unit: The Fastest Way to Unlock Range

About this episode

This episode discusses a faster method to improve flexibility through a specific contraction and stretching sequence.

If flexibility is your bottleneck, there is a faster way. But it isn’t passive. And it isn’t comfortable. The fastest method follows a simple sequence: Contract. Stretch. Convert. First, you contract the muscle at end range. Hard. For middle splits, that means driving the legs apart using your glutes. For hamstrings, it might mean lifting the leg against resistance before lowering into the stretch. That contraction does two things. This week, I want you to watch the full 4-part playlist. Because it shows the exact rule we use in UMS to fix this. Strength and flexibility in the same workout. No extra sessions. No extra time. ▶️ ⁠ Watch the playlist: The Strength–Flexibility Pairing Series⁠ And, if you want to know what it's like to work with us, → ⁠Click here
