The speaker discusses how resistance based stretching, specifically eccentric stretching, can improve overhead movements like the snatch. It's a form of strengthening called PNF, or proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation.
The speaker discusses the challenges of overhead barbell movements and shares tips on how to improve shoulder flexion and thoracic extension to help with the snatch and other exercises.
Research has shown that resistance-based stretching before exercise enhances motion. This technique is effective for people who may not be as competent at certain exercises and can reduce the tendency to extend at the lower back.
In this episode, the hosts discuss the effectiveness of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) and conclude that although it sounds fancy, it doesn't seem to be anything special and can be incorporated into basic resistance exercise.
