All-Star Toe Touches

My toe touches are already hyper extended but I want them to be even more extended. Does anyone have any conditioning or anything to help them get better? Also how can I get my hurdlers up higher they look a messs.

Define "mess" haha.

I think jumping with ankle weights is a big no-no for your knees and ankles. I hope you're just planning to condition with them on and not actually jump- leg lifts, hip flexors, etc.

We use jumbo rubber bands to strengthen inner and outer thighs. You can even tie 2 together, put one around each foot and do toe touches. They have to be the 1-inch wide kind.

Well first off you need to have your splits all the way down. Overstretch your splits propped up on the side of the floor or something. Make sure you stretch your back leg in your splits by leaning backwards or else the jump looks kinda weird. Then, you need to make sure you have good hip flexers. Since your toe touches are already hyperextended then I would assume that you do. Really work on driving your back foot to your butt and the top your front foot to the wall behind you. Then SNAP down as hard as you can to get your feet back together.

We do these. They kill.

do not tumble or jump with ankle weights! They are not good for your knees!! Do exercises with them, but not sudden movement like a jump or tumbling!
