We're starting a new series here to highlight some of our favorite training exercises that we are use in our coaching programs. Anyone who trains with me knows I L-O-V-E the "L-Over." This general strength exercise hits several facets of the all-important posterior chain. It strengthens antagonist and stabilizer muscles in the hips, pelvis, and back.
The L-Over with a medicine ball demands:
1. Glute and hamstrings to function eccentrically
2. Pelvic floor muscles stay tight to keep the back from curving and keep the torso movement controlled.
3. Muscles in the upper back and shoulders pinch to keep the ball from dropping down.
