Yokebar™ and the Yoke Training System

by Dan Locsin

We are all motivated to take action either by pain or pleasure. In my case - in creating the yoke training system (YTS) - it was both.

My hobbies have always been about sports and physical activity. From pumping iron to recreational basketball, I’ve always had time for physical activities while living an adventurous and busy lifestyle. But when injury meets activity- everything changes, especially in my case and I don’t ever like to sit still!

Years ago, playing some competitive-recreational basketball, I blew out my hipflexor. What do I mean by blow out? Like a tire on motorcycle. You got the engine and the desire to go but without any air or a hole in your tire, you just can’t go. Limping around and wincing at any step up or down was such a challenge. I was only in my early thirties and I felt helpless. But what else could I do but rest that important muscle needed to take every walking, jogging, or running stride. I could only ponder on what I could have done to prevent such an injury. One that I was unfamiliar with but after much research realizing this is very common to athletes of any caliber.

With a college background in kinesiology and national certifications in fitness, I thought I was immune to such an injury. Very little information and preventative exercises are available for this muscle. Being on the other side of instruction - me the client and the physical therapist guiding my rehab - I was frustrated yet motivated to heal as quickly as possible.

My rehab progressed from the physioball, to transverse abdominsu, to chain workouts and suspension training at different angles.

Then the yoke bar.
