Hey MWod Kids,
We’ve got two ideas to hammer today.
The first is a way to get into the high, proximal posterior hip. We load that big engine first in all of our big movements. And, it gets nasty. Do yourself a favor and kick your proximal hamstring in the butt.
3 min each leg
Number two is all about improving your external rotation while achieving and overhead lock out.
1-2 min each mobilization/each arm.

I like shoulder mobilisation #2, that's the position I was hunting to stretch the other day and this looks better than what I was playing with.
Thank-you.
Not looking forward to the hamstring stretch though. Those suckers still won't lengthen for me.
K Star,
I've watched every episode and can't thank you enough. So please excuse me if you've already addressed this but I must have missed it.
How do you address a shoulder injury immediately following the event. I injured my shoulder a week ago in BJJ. Was in a douchebag shoulder poistion chocking someone and he moved I slipped and little tear in the shoulder. Kept going, no immediate pain until I cooled off.
What I have been doing is ice 20 min 3Xday, rest, lacross ball to the back of the shoulder and pec + anywhere things got tight. 2 days ago I started with rehab shoulder exercises and stretching + the above mentioned.
Thanks, Tony
K Star,
I really appreciate all these FREE mobility videos you have been doing, the community can not thank you enough. I fined your videos very interesting especially with my studies going in the exercise science direction, keep up the great videos!
Something very similar happened to me in BJJ on Monday and I have been taking similar steps (ice, lacrosse ball, etc…). I have also been throwing in other shoulder mobs in a kind of shotgun approach. It is definitely helping, but it would be great to hear if there are any other suggestions.

That hamstring mob was tough to position but it delivered big.
Creative band use dude…Keep em' coming.
Hey, I am new to Crossfit and just recently stumbled upon this blog.
I find the videos on here extremely helpful in dealing with my mobility issues! After doing some of the stretches I have found on this site for a few days, I feel that I am able to go deeper into my squat and my hips are opening up! Thank you!
As a powerlifter and Type 1 diabetic these vids are proving to be a life saver.
Have you ever worked with a type 1 diabetic? I am finding that the insulin usage causes the tissues to become more fibrous and thus much harder to mobilize.
Quick mobility question, when I squat parallel or below parallel my right hip/ass is about 2-3 inches lower than my left side. I was wondering what would cause this imbalance and how I could fix it. I have no real low back or hip pain but I do have a fair amount of right knee pain. I have a video but it’s a little weird sending a guy a video zoomed in on your ass while you squat.
Thanks for all you do for the community.
