Horse stance isn’t about looking strong
it’s about being strong
Isometric holds build tendon stiffness
so force transfers cleanly through the hips
More stiffness
more stability
more power when you move
The constant tension creates a strong brace
protecting the spine
and teaching the core to do its job
No momentum
no shortcuts
Just you
the position
and the work
Stillness is strength
Build positions you can own
Better money
Better bodies
Has nostalgic aspect
def.. spent a lot of time in horse stance for karate practice
I like running through a progression of horse, bow, and dragon stances
