Other/Mixed brettzel

[Jonathan Martin]

Can anyone tell me the correct breathing pattern when performing the brettzel from FMS??

 

[Steve Freides]

With each exhale, try to get a little further than the last breathing cycle. When you feel you've gone as far as you can go, spend a little time there, several breath cycles, trying to relax and become more comfortable in the new range of motion.

@Brett Jones can expand on or correct that as necessary, I'm sure, and I hope he will.

Thanks Steve! I just had a FMS screening done yesterday, and had a really positive experience. This is one of the movements I need to work on

Steve do you use the Bretzel 2.0 also?

I have been using it after the Bretzel. My bent presses and squats have been stronger lately, not sure if they a making a difference or not

 

[Steve Freides]

I do not usually Brettzel 2.0. (Please note the double "z" as in @Brett Jones.)

That your Brettzel would help your bent press is not a surprise - that's great pairing.

Brettzel, thank you.
