Hey Suppletes,

Today’s mission to spend some serious time on that medial chain.  Yes, that’s code for your groin and inner thigh.  This area gets tight on athletes and does all kinds of crazy things to knee and back mechanics.  Once you’ve spent some time with the first couple of mobs, hit the wall portion and really camp out here.  Be prepared to re-introduce yourself to pieces of your own body.

Test/retest:  Wide squat, sumo deadlift set up, running

    why does the bent knee on top of the cabinet groin stretch hurt my hip as if it’s getting impinged or something?

    Rolling the bar was the worst part of an MWOD I have done to date and Im an OG. Its rough enough on the calves and using it to push the hips open, but the pack of angry gremlins were in full force today.

    Change is obvious. Keep up the brutality.

    Wow, some serious impingement on that table hip stretch, what is that? Do I just push through that and hope it gets better? Keep up the good work K-Star, you’re the man. I don’t know what kind of condition I would be in without you.

      Which came first, the problem or the solution? Lucilky it doesn’t matter.

    Kelly, Whenever I try and to stuff to mobilize the medial chain my hip always impinges. It feels like I’m loading the joint capsule not the tissue. I try to use a band to distract the joint if possible. Any suggestions?
