This YouTube video (single-speaker instructional monologue) explains how to improve mobility by adding short ‘‘stretch-strength’’ sessions—about 5–10 minutes at the end of training, twice per week. The instructor emphasizes treating end-range stretching like strength training (start with low volume, progress gradually), using leverage to reduce load during bodyweight movements, and warns that these high-tension techniques carry injury risk if done incorrectly.

Chapters

You can get a great level of mobility simply by the way that you train. If you understand long range, take yourself to the end positions. You will have a decent level of mobility. I add in an extra five to ten minutes twice a week at the end of sessions to build stretch strength. Take it a little bit further. These are some of the movements that I use. Jumping straight into these for most people is not advised. You're at risk of injury. This is high tension stuff. This is the things that are going to remodel your body quite quickly. So you need to treat this just like strength training where you use a little bit of volume initially. You don't use too much weight and gradually you progress. When you're doing that with bodyweight movements and there's leverage involved, you have to think about the physics of how to lighten the load. If you do that, then you'll be able to progress safely and get to the positions that you want to be able to get to.
