Dear Girevichkas and Gireviks,
am confused. One reason why I like "Simple & Sinister" is its simplicity, its easy to understand and follow. Plus, it is super effective.
Is there something like "S&S" but for stretching / mobility only? Something that lasts maybe 30 minutes that can be done before going to bed for example? I enjoy my morning sessions with the Kettlebell and would like to have something for the evenings before going to bed. It would also help me unwind from the day.
What is the StrongFirst-approach to this? I see people on the forum here using different approaches, like @Steve Freides writes a lot about "Flexible Steel", whereas @Strong Rick is doing "Original Strength" stuff.
I went through the following books:
- "Supple Leopard" - Kelly Starret
- "Flexible Steel" - John Engum
- "Super Joints" - Pavel Tsatsouline
- "Convict Conditioning II" - Paul Wade (-> Trifecta)
Am half through
- "Original Strength" - Tim Anderson & Geoff Neupert
Still to read
- "Relax Into Stretch" - Pavel Tsatsouline
- "Functional Movement Systems" - Gray Cook
There are also very interesting threads on the forum, but this is where I get overwhelmed and my head gets kind of foggy ...
The basic question for my case: What is a good 30 min plan for general stretching / mobility maintenance?
When there is a part of my body that needs more attention, right now its my lower back that is tensed for example, I use the foam roller or trigger ball to help it. This is where "Supple Leopard" helped me so much already. So am curious how you guys approach this topic. Do you have a certain routine to improve your overall flexibility and mobility on a regular basis, something that you return to from time to time or even do on a regular basis?
Thanks for any points into the right direction.
Kind Regards,
Tobi
