Open your hips!

Daniel, Marc, Amy, Adrian, John and Jessie

Along with the practice and performance of the "explosive hip" exercises- cleans, snatches, push presses, push jerks, kipping pullups, kettlebell swings, etc- you also need to open them up constantly by stretching those muscles that allow those actions frequently. Samson stretches and other hip and pelvis stretches will help you in range of motion and recovery of your iliopsoas, psoas major and minor, iliacus, piriformis, and posterior chain muscles (hamstrings, glutes, and erector spinae).
