Hip Flexion Mobility Eccentrics - Eccentric RDL

Continuing with using eccentric training to increase mobility here is a way to increase hip flexion mobility. Focusing on the eccentric (negative) phase of the Romanian Deadlift exercise increases lengthening strength of the glutes and hamstrings but will also stimulate changes in muscle length. As discussed, when I introduced eccentric training for mobility you are getting massive 'bang for the buck' as you are strengthening and lengthening at the same time. Plus, injuries often occur at the end of the available range when under an eccentric load so this style of training would be the most likely to prevent injury from occurring.
