Hey Mwodies,

Today’s mission is a love letter to good old fashioned tinkering. You see, when we teach the Movement and Mobility (M2) program to coaches and athletes, we try impress upon them not to memorize techniques, but rather understand the foundational concepts so that they can invent any technique to fit any problem. To this end, check out the horrible way that Coach Roop has made our simple anterior hip opener even better. Keep messing around. We can solve any problem.

Mission: Spend 5 min per leg opening up the front of your hip.

Test/Retest: Air squat. What happened to your ability to keep your knees out at the bottom? Do short quads/ant hip lead to valgus faults at the bottom of the squat (Knees in)? Could this be a reason why people turn their feet out during squatting?
