PROGRESSION · HOW TO DO IT
Heavier band flexion
These steps are written specifically for the Heavier band flexion. Follow them in order and stop before you lose the position.
- 01Set up your version
Set up specifically for the Heavier band flexion. Add only enough load to preserve the same range, tempo, and position as the easier version.
- 02Move the pattern
Keep the heel and other toes quiet as you press the big-toe pad down into the floor.
- 03Match the demand
Treat this version as the only progression; do not add load, range, and tempo at the same time.
- 04Finish with control
Hold the pressure without rolling the ankle inward, then let the toe rise slowly. Do not roll the ankle inward.

Heavier band flexion is a progression of Great-Toe Flexion. Use the written card above for its exact setup and execution.
Short range: Short range means the target muscle finishes squeezed in its shortened position.
WHY IT EARNS A SPOT
Own the position,
then earn the load.
The great toe finishes flexed against resistance, strengthening the push-off side of the tripod foot and improving independent toe control.
