Common questions

What can I do instead of the Iron Cross Stretch?

The Roller Hip Stretch, Roller Hip Lat Stretch and Weighted Stretch Lunge stretch the same area, the glutes. Hold each for 20 to 30 seconds per side and stop short of pain, exactly as you would with the original.

Can I combine several of these stretches?

Yes. Stretches combine freely, pick two or three for the same area and cycle through them after training or on rest days.
