Mobilizing your lats can help decrease shoulder pain over time. It can also help to improve the range of motion for overhead movements, such as the overhead press and push jerk.
Lie on a foam roller, smashing laterally across your latissimus dorsi muscle (aka lats), and slowly slide up toward your armpit until you find a tight spot that you can dig into to relieve tension.
Mobilizing the quads is important to restore lower body functionality not only for athletes from overuse, but also for desk-job workers from lack of use.
Approach this movement one leg at a time, spending at least 5-10min per leg, depending on tightness. Roll from side to side, and when you come across a tight spot, relax into it until it’s no longer tense. Then continue moving toward your hip and repeat, concentrating on problem areas.
To apply greater pressure, stack one leg on top of the other (top). For less pressure, keep contact on the floor with the foot of the leg you are mobilizing and keep your legs apart.
Commit to starting your week off strong and ending it strong. I got a little carried away with eating a lot of unhealthy food this weekend, so I'm putting myself in check this week. No horrible slip-ups. This is going to be a great week!
A little #tbt action a few years ago when I was exploring the world of olympic weightlifting and learning as much as I could on proper technique at Waxman's Gym.
Snatches are very technical and require aboslute precision to nail correctly, especially under heavy loads. If you'd like to learn, please have someone with ligitimate experience coach you through it.
The feeling of successfully executing a heavy snatch though.. there's no other exercise movement that has gotten me close to that feeling, ever. It's amazing . Give it a go!
The Romanian Deadlift is my favorite exercise to strengthen the hamstrings. Because the movement begins in an eccentric contraction (the "negative"), it tends to create a greater degree of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) relative to standard deadlifts. Good luck taking the stairs or using a toilet 1-2 days later !
Some proper position cues - chest up, black flat (never let it round), knees slightly unlocked, hips back, double-overhand grip, bar stays in contact or as close to the body as possible (I'm not doing a very good job of that here 🙈).
