La biomecánica del bloqueo delantero: pretensión antes del contacto

In this video, I explain how I'm working on front leg lockout through pretension, using uphill drills as an intentional constraint. Lockout isn't about falling and stopping. It's about the leg landing already pretensioned, so the energy is transferred to the torso and arm in time. If it lands loose, the hill will bounce that energy back instead of absorbing it, the body will fall backward, and you'll end up losing momentum. I'll walk you through two drills: Uphill rolling, where the waist is already facing forward from the start. This removes rotation from the equation and lets me focus on one thing—getting the lockout in time. Uphill quick picks, where I add rotation to the movement under the same time constraint. Now the body has to coordinate pretension and rotation simultaneously, without compromising either. The principle is simple: uphill doesn't help you, it challenges you. When you put yourself in a more challenging position during drills, your body is forced to find the necessary adjustments. And when you return to your normal mound, that pattern is already ingrained.
