Hi;
I have mobility limitations with my hips, hamstrings, thoracic extension as well as over head shoulder mobility.
Can anyone point me to source or benchmark on mobility requirements to do a relatively injury risk free KB press, TGU, and Swings?
Bakcground:
I don’t have access to barbell. KB swing is my desired move to strengthen postural chain but I keep on delaying starting S&S to improve stability and mobility first.
Well last night, after mid night I was called to help a friend with wheelchair.
I had to help to move a wheelchair in which a young and not small male sits. In the most possible bad position for me to make a lift. Fully flexed back in an ugly way, holding from the front of the wheel chair going up backwards,
You can’t say “no I won’t help cause my back might hurt”, past midnight but you can not say I will help tomorrow afternoon when my body is at its prime, you can’t stop lifting because SF stop signs kicked in after halfway through the stairs.
If I was doing swings, my postural chain would have been more “ready” …. Life does not wait for you to improve your mobility…
How can I decide when it is time to start making a exercise despite of not ideal mobility?
If strength is a skill, why don’t just jump in to water and start slowly? If I was going to learn to play guitar I would not start with finger endurance training.
How do we decide a good enough form is good enough? Other than posting videos and getting feedback?
