Correspondingly, the five phases that can be described between these positions are as follows: (1) the first pull happens between the ground and when the bar reaches knee level and is initiated by knee and hip extension; (2) the transition happens when the barbell is between knee level and the power position and involves a shift in the position of the body relative to the barbell, which involves a brief period of knee flexion and is therefore referred to as the double knee bend (Enoka, 1979; 1988); (3) the second pull is the most powerful phase of the lift and occurs while the barbell is between the power position and the lifter is in triple extension; (4) turnover occurs as the lifter quickly drops down under the bar from the triple extension position to the catch position, in a deep front squat; (5) recovery into the standing position occurs as the lifter stands from the catch position to upright.

As the core breaks down, the rest of the body is forced to take up the slack resulting in unwanted rotation, flexion / extension and increased risk of injury.

Positions Of Flexion is the most sensible way to organize your exercise choices instead of the shotgun way of just picking a multitude of exercises for a body part without any specific reason.

Every movement you make involves one or more of your muscles performing flexion (muscle shortening), while the opposing muscle (s) are performing extension (muscle lengthening), so by using your mind to «stretch» (extend) or «squeeze» (flex) the muscle you can manipulate your body to push and pull its way to success.
