Core-Tex Split Squat Progressions

We are fortunate to have Coach Mike Guevara offer up some progressions for the rear foot elevated version of the Split Squat with Core-Tex.

The Split Squat is a foundational exercise for single leg training. With the hips uncoupled, it sets the stage for independent limb work and often shines a light on imbalances and deficits between the two sides of the body.

Having the rear foot elevated ensures that weight transfer to the front leg on Core-Tex. Using Core-Tex allows Coach Mike to play with transverse plane motion of Core-Tex as part of the base movement.

Coach Mike traveled the world as the performance coach for Victoria Azarenka as she captured 51 weeks of a world #1 ranking and two Australian Open Titles among many other career accomplishments. He has also helped Jrue Holiday of the 2021 NBA Champion Milwaukee Bucks as a full-time performance coach and has worked with multiple NBA athletes including Anthony Davis, Jahlil Okafor, Mike James, and Rajon Rondo.

We are thrilled to have Coach Mike G as a Core-Tex Champion. Follow Mike on Instagram for some inspiring and educational performance posts @mrdoitmoving

Adding the principles of movement variability to quadruped progressions using Core-Tex is an effective and efficient way to produce benefits you won't get from the ground. The quadruped position on Core-Tex introduces a dynamic environment for core and spinal stabilization that produces reactive muscle activity and associated variability. This means your muscles are training to turn on faster to protect your spine when needed.
We are thrilled to receive this feedback from Hands of Hope Physical Therapy and Wellness.  Beginning in 2023, Hands of Hope began utilizing Core-Tex in 10 of their clinics in the greater New York metropolitan area.  
We take 3 "known" exercises and show you how much more exponential value you get from doing them on Core-Tex. The patented motion provides movement opportunities that can not be reproduced on the ground or any other product.
