Hey, the Trifecta! I’ve done those off and on for years. Recently quit doing the twists again, because it appears I’m finally at a point where squat-induced muscle mass just won’t allow it. And I’m okay with that.

The bridge is a big one for me, and I’ll start training it again after I hit all my strength standards. But I was really dismayed recently when attempting L-sits (ATG recommends them as well). I used to do these for hours, and now can’t hold one for 3 seconds.

Things are definitely changing dramatically in the body as one piece integrity after 4 days of doing this. Rinks are locked down right now, but I’m excited to see the difference this will make on the ice when I get back there eventually.

Many thanks to this forum for helping me get away from arbitrarily stretching and foam rolling to no avail. I agree with old miler, The ATG squat and seated good morning are challenging small muscles in my hips I never knew were in there.



That’s fantastic. One-piece integrity. That just about sums it all up.
