Upcoming ICE - Series

Hi Cathe,

I have another request and I hope I am not asking too much

Can we please have a short static stretching session as an add on?
3-5 minutes would be helpful for us involved in compound heavy lifting.

I know you always make us dynamically stretch before lifting
I understand the reason behind.

I am also taking this opportunity to thank you for your article about squatting deeper.

Unexpectedly, I have just found out I could fully squat (below parallel up to the ground)
, with no weight. The only reason I have comfortably been able to do it is because
I did a static developmental strech before trying. I am happy cause I blamed my ankle flexibility
and found out there was no issue. Executing the same move with weight is different I am aware.
I have never experienced any issue with my knees neither had I felt any pain.
Basically I never had any knee injury.

Thanks cathe for your hard work,

Hi nckfitheart2009,
Thanks for your comment. There are many things that need to be considered when filming any series. Disc space being of highest priority. I have to take many things into consideration when designing the workouts and make some "best overall" choices. Keep up the great training! It sounds like you've had a very positive outcome.
