Ever wonder how the pros get this low
0:01
and wide on court, but when you try it,
0:04
it feels impossible. You probably think
0:06
it's a flexibility problem. It's
0:08
actually a strength problem. Here's why.
0:11
Even if you do lots of running and
0:13
traditional gym training, most of those
0:15
movements are front and back. But bad
0:17
mitten is a side to side sport. So the
0:19
muscles that control side to side
0:20
movement, your adductors and abductors,
0:23
often never get challenged in a way that
0:25
they would in badminton. Which is why
0:27
stretching alone also doesn't fix it.
0:30
You're just adding range you can't
0:32
control. What you actually need is to
0:35
build strength in those low wide
0:36
positions through exercises like casac
0:39
squats and sports specific movements
0:41
that target the lateral movements you
0:43
see on court. Do that and getting low
0:46
stops feeling like a fight against your
0:47
own body. Full analysis in the video
