Hey Performance Freaks,

Today’s task is to double up on the Couch Stretch. When a tissue is tight/fibrotic/used to being your ridden hard and put away wet, you may just have to double up on the mobilization. So, pony up.
Mission: Collect 10 minutes in the couch stretch. Then, later on, do it again.

Note how different they feel. You have to get through the layers.

    K-starr, great video as always.

    A few questions:

    1) Any plans for an MWOD t-shirt? 'cause I'm sure a lot of people would totally rock that.

    2) Back in the christmas eve MWOD (124/365) you advocated an electrolyte supplement to go along with your everyday water intake, what's up with that? I've just never heard that sort of recommendation before and I can't find much info about it. Could you enlighten us?

    Thanks for the great resource.

    Could you care to tackle shoulder and elbow pain when getting into a back squat position with the barbell. When I externally rotate and position the bar, it feels like my shoulder is stuck forward. Additionally, my elbow starts to hurt on the "top" (if I'm standing, palms facing back w/ arms down to my side — hope that makes sense). I think my elbow/forearm pain is from my shoulder not being able to move "back" into it's socket when I externally rotate when I place the bar on my back. I've had to resort into only doing front squats and SSB squats for the time being.

    Thanks again for this resource.

    ahh Kstar you are so responsive!

    I remember the fuzz concept – do we need to change position every 20 minutes to better maintains the gains we make with the MWOD to "keep the paperclip bent?" Any other postural/lifestyle recommendations?

    Yesterday I did half of episode 132 (yesterday's MWOD) so I repeated it today. The reverse ballerina + hip mobilization is money for me. I have a plane ride tomorrow so I will get after this one tomorrow. Maybe a 3xMWOD…

    Thanks for the videos. They are proving to be the fountain of youth and regeneration for this 47 y.o. ortho surgeons wet dream of a body.

    KStar, is there any plan to organize the MWOD's into easily accessible categories, i.e., hips; t-spine…?
