Hey Supples,

Today’s mission is a little bit of a mixed bag. The main dish however, is to get you improve you hip extension. We see a crap ton of pelvic faulting (over-extenison/anterior pelvic tilt) when the leg is behind you and tight. Camp out on this hip extension and drill and talk to the honey badger (as he gnaws on your bits.) 3-4 minutes a side should do it. The key is that this mob has the lower leg nearly extended. This allows for increased hip extension angle during the mob. If you are a runner, this one’s for you.

Thanks, this helps a lot. Where do you get those peanut balls? I like them for the forearm release prior to the jerk, that more flexible position gives me a better rack. Based on years of observation it is pure joy to see the pure passion you exhibit.

I really need to get some bands. I end up missing out on a lot of these WODs, the ones I need, due to no bands.

This blog is intended as a jump off point for athletes to systematically begin to address their nasty tissues and grody joint mobility. Use at your own risk and stop if you think it's gonna hurt you, your spine is going to come out your throat, or your face goes numb. But, understand that you should be responsible for your own business. Don't wait until you need a new knee. Pony up.
