Hey Mwodies,
Today we are going to hammer on your leg’s anterior chain.
Mobilizing your leg into internal rotation first will bias those tissues affecting your capacity to extend your hip into a strong position the most.
Set a timer and work on each leg for about 5-6 minutes.
When you stand up, enjoy your suppleness. Then try and run 400 meters.

K-2-the-Star, Just a simple man thanking a awesome person!! I found Crossfit as a result of the Mwod project, and 4 months in, I am now better at life. I implement the Kstar school of thought at my local globo, and we are making significant change. I use the Mwod as a transition or an indirect introduction into Crossfit and the positive correlations associated; it is really catching on with all globo things considered. Keep up the solid work, impacting the lives of many, one day at a time.

I find these wods so helpful and the insight is great. Just a small suggestion, can we get a better camera angle for when you are on the floor doing your demos?
Thanks!
freestyled this at the office (no bands). back leg up on a chair, created internal rotation, then knee down to the ground for couch pose. LOVED IT. keep bringing the genius, kstar,

Kstar Im attending Rob Orlandos Hybrid challenge this weekend. Any ideas on some good strong man prep type mobility stuff. Love this site, check it daily, keep up the great work my man.
Nice blog guys.I really like to it band and hip mobs. Where are you guys buying those insane tough bands for hip mob? I have tried the theraband ones in my clinic and they sometimes work. I figue there must be something better.
Thanks
Tom– Go to the Rogue Fitness link. On the site search mobility packages and they have one with the blue band and one with the green band. Good to have both options. The lacrosse balls included will take care of the other needed element.
This fixed my knee issue. I can squat and deadlift again!!! THANK YOU.
Needed this so bad. THANK YOU.
