Barbell Better Mobility Is Killing My Gains

[watchnerd]

I train my mobility all year long, everyday, and the same way, for years. I think that doing so have protect me from imbalances due to any other physical activities.

I'm curious what your mobility work is, given you've been doing the same thing for a long time.

I've been working a lot on pancake the last few months.

Which is one of my big contributors to a deeper squat.

Hello,

@watchnerd
I do not look for progression now. I just maintain

If I sum it up:
- Deep squat (butt on almost on the ground). Pistol are also part of my regimen
- Full back bridge
- Front Split & Side Split & Pancake
- Toe touch : 2 variations: using deficit while standing and on the floor
- Twist hold
- Grabbing the hands in the back (one hand from the bottom and one hand from the top)

Then, a few agility/mobility
- Duck walk
- Lizzard crawl

This permits me to perform high kick (head level) without warm-up to somoeone of my height (1.83m). Indeed, I hate warm-up...

Kind regards,

Pet'

Congrats to you two.

Word of advice:

Cannabis-infused massage oil on the glutes has unexpected consequences.

Thanks.

How long does it take?

Very interesting observation.

Makes me consider my son, who is only 10. He's so flexible that I'm not 100% sure he actually has bones. And I'm convinced that make him clumsy. His body seems to have no sense of "if I try to turn this direction, it's uncomfortable". So he turns in all directions, and sometimes finds himself in a tangle of arms and legs on the floor.

Not a problem I have, of course. I can turn in just about any direction and be uncomfortable.
