Happy Sunday Flexible People,
Today’s Mwod is all about opening up your “crotchal” region with a little spinal rotation to boot.
Test: Box squat with wide stance
Mwod: Adductor wall “groinage” beat down 3 min
Spine rotation, 2 min each side
Retest: Box Squat
Shout out to the great crew at Crossfit Rainier today at the mobility cert.

My groin needs work! Thanks k-star.
Great groin stretch. When I do that internal rotation stretch I get a pull on what I can only guess is the semitendinosus muscle in the hamstring. Basically the inner bottom right up by the crotch. A question I have in general is that if you're stretching a certain region and you are feeling impingement in the antagonist muscle to what you are trying to target what does that mean? Example would be stretching the hamstrings and feeling pain in the hip flexors.
Kstar – impressive flexibility there. As a PT, I don't like to see any impingement pain during a stretch. I would have you try to stabilize the proximal segment differently or just reset the stretch. Good luck
Kstar, I love your MWODs, I've been following them religiously! I've just tried the internal rotation stretch for today, and I notice quite a painful pull on the medial knee of the leg that is internally rotated. Is there a way to adapt the stretch to take that pain away?
awesome
Kelly,
with the wall stretch I feel some tension on the inside of my knees which is limiting me to open up my hips more. Any suggestions?
nice straddle- good toes.
Love the internal rotation stretch KStar! Thx
