140512 Mobility WOD

Squat Monday. Working on our Squat mWOD:
The Squat mWOD:

I’ve included videos of each:

Wall Squat:

A familiar friend. Sitting with back on the floor and but flush against the wall. You know the rest.

Couch Sretch: (start watching at 2:20)

Also familiar. Top of foot against wall, knee on the floor…

And finally the Heel cord Stretch: (start watching at 3:15)

Do this with knee straight and knee bent.

We also have some Front Squats and Hang Power Cleans, you can also work on the Front Rack mWOD:

PVC external rotations: (these are NOT shoulder dislocates)

Stretch Band external rotation: (start at 3:30)

* please pay attention to the location of the band (it’s between your hand and your ear)
* use opposite hand to pull elbow into ear
* side-step towards the shoulder not being mobilized

Stretch band elbow behind ear: (start at 3:55)

* goal is to get your elbow to go behind your ear
* you’ll notice the band is attached to a stationary object at waist level. If you’re not near the pull-up rig, you can simply loop the stretch band on your foot (same side). Just step on the band and then wind up your shoulder
