Dear StrongFirst Community,
I would value your input with a specific roadblock I encountered during my training.
Required information:
- 35, male, 6'0", 180lbs
- No current injuries.
- I have not had a FMS. My joints feel good.
- Martial arts in the evenings and Crossfit 4-5 times x week (Crossfit is to support my body, Martial art is primary focus).
My question:
I have been working towards a specific type of conditioning for the martial art I practice. I need to be able to keep one of my legs raised comfortably for at least two minutes. Here's how the position looks:
During those two minutes, I need to complete a form slowly... then switch legs, and execute the form again with the other leg raised to groin level.
Best I've been able to do is around 1.5 minutes, after which the leg shakes and drops down.
Most of my approach to this training has been working the muscle to exhaustion multiple times per day, but I am beginning to understand that the methods taught by your community use a radically different approach.
I would like to ask you if you could give me a strengthening routine to achieve this goal. I've been trying various methods over the past years, but I've hit a plateau.
Thank you in advance for your attention, I sincerely appreciate it.
Cheers.
