Moving Claw Series

What it is

This dynamic, compound movement refines your running form for improved sprinting performance. You will actively engage your hamstrings as the primary movers, with support from your calves and quadriceps. This exercise teaches efficient leg recovery and ground striking mechanics.

Technique tips

• Focus on a strong knee flexion, aiming to actively "kick" your glutes.
• Reload your front quadriceps aggressively as your leg returns forward.
• Drive your arms powerfully, mimicking a rapid punching motion.
• Maintain a quick, light foot strike, actively "clawing" the ground beneath you.

How to track your progress

Log the weight and reps of each set. Straddly turns every set into an estimated one-rep max, so a heavier single and a strong set of eight both count as progress, and it flags a personal record the moment you beat your best.
