Physical Subculture

Often considered a ’seated’ sport, the hips and legs, the powerhouse of athletic pursuit, are often ignored during off-the-broom training. This is why you’ll be a superior player, as your posterior chain and the drive from the hips will help you perform with grace and rock-hard stability simultaneously.

Squats. Heavy. Work up towards a 3 rep max, and then attempt at least two sets at that weight.

Single leg deadlifts. Heavy. 3 sets, 5 reps per leg.

3×5x10. 3 exercises, 5 reps each, for 10 minutes (or 15… or 20, but this combo is tough). Overhead squats/KB swings/buelers. Heavy, a weight that would make 6 reps questionable (this possibly means a two-handed KB swing). See how many times you can power your way through these three exercises in 10 minutes.

Release the tension through some Quidditch Yoga therapy.
