Mobility

hey, does anyone know of any good mobility maneuvers for before a workout, about 5-8 would be good for whole body. hard to distinguish between them and stretches on a google search.

What areas do you need help with Joe ?

by **Harsh** » Thu Feb 21, 2008 11:23 am

you can do any stuff from Magificiant mobility & Inside out....but choice will depend on your problem area..

not so much a problem area, just for a general warm up, i've been used to stretching which now i read is not the best way.

I use :
Body squats
Leg swings
Supermans
Bridges
Bird-dogs
Shoulder Disclocations
Usually 2x10 - seems to work ok for me.

good good, it is a very confusing part of the routine, i always thought it was a stretchy time.

I've been using this and like it very much:

Overhead squat 1x8

Low lateral squat 1x8 each side

Overhead reverse lunge 1x6 each leg

Romanian deadlift to snatch pull-through 1x8

Drop lunge 1x6 each leg

Sots press 1x8

As for warm-up, i just do light sets of calisthenics, similar to Mouse's routine, or stretching, some yoga. But I also do the movements I will be using in the workout normally with a light dumbbell.

With the mobility we've been taught is much more simple than that. Basically it's working from small ROM to large ROM from top to bottom [looking side-to-side, shoulder rolls... And so on.]

For my warmup i do the dynamic stretchs that everyone is talking about, Leg swings, fire hydrants, cat stretch, bird dog, glute activation bridge and ankle rotations.
And as of recently as i mentioned in my log I have included a weighted warm up from Laurensfitness.com that can get your body up and ready.
