Not trying to work out too many specifics, but are any of his deep split squats performed in an isometric fashion (holding the bottom position)?

I ask as the long duration ISO lunge is something I quite like, but this usually stops with front thigh parallel.

He says to hold the bottom position for 3 seconds. It’s insanely effective. Makes all other hip flexor stretches virtually useless, and has added some really nice hypertrophy to my quads.

In fact, I just got done with 5 x 5 of these half an hour ago. Used 40lb dumbbells. 8 months ago I couldn’t do bodyweight on two aerobic steps without holding on to something for balance. The overall benefits have been tremendous, and that 3s pause is crucial. My lower body just all around WORKS better now.
