Essentially, the way I use it is if itâs a driving movement, ipsilateral produces the greatest power production and stability, meaning the right hand has the right leg back. Contralateral work provides the greatest reach potential for pulling, which means the right hand has the left leg forward or standing on. Funny enough, they both wind up being kind of the same position, which makes it that much easier.
A secondary use of this line is as an antagonist for the drive from the ipsilateral line. When running, the one foot drives into the ground while the other knee drives up and forward. This forward knee drive stretches and tenses the functional line, especially when coupled with the arm reach.
