In most cases, wrist pain in the front rack isn’t actually a wrist problem 😮‍💨 If the thoracic spine, scapula, and shoulders aren’t moving well, the elbows drop, the bar rolls forward, and the wrists end up taking way more load than they should. That’s why we focus so heavily on: 1️⃣ Shoulder External Rotation 2️⃣ Thoracic Extension 3️⃣ Scapular Mobility Clean those up and your front rack starts feeling WAY more solid under the bar 😈✊ #mobilitytraining #mobilitywod #mobility #crossfitmobility #mobilitytips

Hip pain SUCKS 😮‍💨 Back in 2013, after a couple years away from training, I came back to the gym and realized I couldn’t squat past parallel without my hips feeling absolutely terrible. Thankfully, I stopped just stretching everything and started focusing on what actually mattered: ✅ Hip Internal Rotation Better IR = smoother, deeper squat positions. ✅ Hip Flexor Strength Most “tight” hip flexors are weak and undertrained. ✅ Pelvic Control If your pelvis is all over the place, your hips will be too 😅 Train these consistently and your hips will start feeling WAY better under the bar. Comment **“ERP”** and I’ll show you exactly how we train this inside the program 👇 #crossfitmobility #mobilitywod #mobilitytraining #mobility #squatdepth

This one’s a love-hate relationship for a reason 😈 Our members complain about it… and then keep coming back to it. Because when you actually do it with intention, it lights up your hips in all the right ways and builds strength in positions most people completely avoid. That’s where the real change happens. Run 2 sets of 5–8 reps with a 2-second pause and don’t rush it… this one hits different when you slow it down. Give it a shot and let me know how spicy it feels 🌶️🌶️ STAY READY 😈✊ #mobility #hipmobility #mobilitytraining #mobilitywod

Most people attack their overhead by endlessly stretching their shoulders… Meanwhile their thoracic spine barely moves and their scapula are stiff as hell 😮‍💨 Your shoulders don’t work alone. If the thoracic spine and scapula can’t do their job, the shoulders are forced to compensate. That's usually when things start feeling tight, unstable, or painful under the bar. Save this if your overhead always feels tight 👇 #mobilitytips #mobilitytraining #mobilitywod #crossfitmobility #mobility

This one looks weird as hell… but I love it 🤷‍♂️ There are two ways to approach it: Go passive and rotate toward the ceiling, letting your hips lift to open up the spine… Or go active… keep your hips pinned down and use your back to lift the stick. Same movement. Completely different stimulus. One helps you access range, the other helps you own it. Mix both in and you’ll start to feel a big difference in how your spine actually moves. Give it a shot and send this to someone who needs more rotation in their life! STAY READY 😈✊ #mobility #mobilitytraining #crossfitmobility #thoracic

Want a stronger overhead squat? 🏋️‍♂️ Better overhead positions come from building strength and control through the ankles, hips, thoracic spine, and shoulders not just stretching them. Train your mobility with intention 😈✊ Comment “ERP” for more strength-based mobility work like this 👇 #crossfit #mobilitywod #mobilitytraining #mobility #strengthandmobility

Squat feeling off? Hips feel jammed? Low back taking a beating? Yeah… squatting a lot will expose that fast. When you’re loading squats week after week without enough joint capacity, your hips and ankles stop doing their job and your low back starts picking up the slack. That’s when things start feeling stiff, restricted, and beat up. Instead of stretching your life away, try these 3: • Deep Lunge Iso • 90/90 Adductor Liftoff • Eccentric Pigeon Run them with intention and you’ll feel the difference in your squat almost immediately. Comment “ERP” if you want a program that actually helps your hips, ankles, and back move (and perform) better 👇 #weightlifting #crossfit #mobility #mobilitytraining #mobilitywod

15 minutes a day changed everything 😈✊ Not because I was “stretching more”… But because I started training my mobility with intention, consistency, and intensity. That’s when the body really starts to change. Follow for mobility that actually carries over to your lifts and your life 👇 #weightlifting #crossfit #mobility #mobilitytraining #mobilitywod

The biggest area of opportunity for most people to improve their front rack is Shoulder External Rotation! When it comes to improve shoulder external rotation, it’s not just about stretching into that position… It’s also about addressing the muscles that limit this shoulder function, and then to also build strength in the position as well! Gives these a try and tell me how your front rack feels after!👇 #mobilitytraining #weightlifting #crossfit #mobility #crossfitmobility #shouldermobility
