Hey Mobilitats,

Today’s project is all about how to use your couch to improve your athletic performance. Chances are, you’re not strict-strict paleo and watch a little TV once in a while. So, put those commercials to use and start the timer.

Here’s the challenge. Anytime a commercial comes on, you hit a mobilization.

Oh, and by the way, the rumble roller is le git. That’s french, for legit. rumbleroller.com

Supple up!

Hey Mwodies,

Hey Supple Leopards,

On today’s edition of the mobility project, we are stoked to have both Mark Bell and Donnie Thompson making cameos. Mark is a long time friend of the project and a local boy from Sacramento who owns Super Training Gym. In a subtle twist of fate Mark is currently chasing the world record in the bench (915lbs btw) held by the other tiny dancer in the room, Donnie Thompson. Imagine for a minute that you do a little squatting, deadlifting, and pressing once in awhile. Now imagine being the guy that holds the highest total EVER for those little lifts. Donnie was in town chasing down the world record for squatting (1250lb. which he has squatted twice in competitions) but missed on an easy 1272 lbs. As penance for not smashing the world record yesterday, he knew he had to show you all how to treat a swollen and twisted ankle.

For more info on the bands he’s using for compression, check out Flexbandonline.com and prepare to have your mind blown by Dick Hartzell. Have you ever heard of jump stretch bands? Yeah it’s that Dick Hartzell.

We made Donnie show us his shoulder magic as well. Stay tuned.

Mobility Mission: Collect 5 minutes a leg ungluing your quads and anterior chain. See if you can’t use the techniques we talked about yesterday.

Hey Mwodiphiles,

Today’s mission is simple. Undo all the heinous lamination in your high posterior chain.

Set the clock for 12 minutes and see how much tissue you can recover.

Test/retest: Air Squat

Think how much sexier your bedonky-donk is gonna be when it’s all slidey and not tacked down.

Hey Supple Ones,

Today’s mobility adventure is simple; Open your hips like it’s your job. Note how hard it is to fully open your hip when your lower leg is in full flexion (on the wall).

Perform this mobilization 5-6 minutes a SIDE. We have friends that say this is worse than water boarding. I believe them.
