The Horse Stance Stick Drill
Why Place a Stick Across Your Legs During the Horse Stance?
Well first and foremost it is going to make holding the position a whole lot harder! But more then that, it gives you instant feedback on your positioning.
- It Encourages You to "Open" the Hips
The stick acts as a cue to actively push your knees out and externally rotate through the hips. This helps engage the glutes and deep hip stabilisers rather than allowing the knees to collapse inward.
2. It Creates an Upright Torso
You're encouraged to sit between your hips instead of folding forward. This allows you to maintain a taller chest and a more stacked posture.
3. It Builds Adductor Strength at Long Muscle Lengths
The stick helps you find a position where you can generate more tension while keeping your hips in good alignment.
4. It Teaches Active Tension
Instead of simply "sitting" in the position, the stick reminds you to actively create force:
- Push the knees out (Abduct your hips)
- Drive the feet into the floor.
- Stay tall.
Think of the stick as a coach giving you feedback. I encourage you all to try this out!
