Hey Mwod Gang, We’ve filmed an 11 min beast about the minimum you should be doing to take care of your tissues.
Also, here is the Finnish MobNija Jami on taking care of that turned ankle.
Happy Christimas,

Coach,
I have been having some extreme cases of low back fatigue during WODS. I have been following your MWODS and I have a question. My issue looks reminiscent of lordosis. KB swings, squats, almost anything where I have to keep midline stabilization is killing me. I also have some left SI dysfunction and left knee pain that could be stemmed from this. Is this something that I should spend time mobilizing or strengthening or both? Do you have a protocol that you haver used in the past that is effective?
If you look at the 2:02 mark you can see that even with pull-ups I have an extreme lordotic arch in my low back. I am very limited in my training because my back locks up. I remember at Sherwood talking about this low back fatigue and I haven;t been able to find anything that has helped so far. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

For today I went into the archives and pulled out Episode 105 – Deadlift prep. The cues on the hip mobilization were especially helpful – I really got after the gristle. Test – retest was pretty significant. Rounded things out with a "frog" groin stretch, some shoulder IR mobilization, and thoracic mob on the taped lax balls.
Ok this was perfect timing I just sprained my ankle really bad and needed this! I can squat again! I can squat again!
Thanks k genius star and the finnish sprainstopper

No-one seems to sell it here in NZ, they only have the sugary "sports drinks"
Time to face the music armed with this great inrfomatoin.
