Regardless if you are a powerlifter, ball player, or a YMCA warrior, you’ve experienced back pain that has prevented you from training or playing the game you love.

In this video, I’ll show you a Mobility Routine you can do daily to help relieve back pain you have now or preven you from getting back pain in the future.

You can literally do these movements everyday. I would recommend twice a day: As soon as you wake up, and right before you go to sleep.

This routine takes about 10 min (20 min total for two sets) of the 1440min you’re allotted each day... so no excuses!

Build a bullet proof lower back everyday!

Take the Deadlift:

- Hinge Movement is universal 🌏

- Translates to virtually every sport ✔️

- Can help reduce injury 🚫

- Increase rebound numbers 🏀

- Increase kick strength and power ⚽️

- Add yards to your after the first tackle 🏈

- Increase total power output 🥊

Amidst the Coronavirus shenanigans, training on top of a mountain sounds like the only good idea right now 😷
But seriously though:

1.) Don’t panic
2.) Listen to science
3.) WASH YA HANDS
4.) Limit interaction - limit the spread

Tag a stiff ass MFer 😭
For you stiff ass MFers out there, training without proper warm up, movement priming, and mobility can really f**k up your body 🙅🏾‍♂️
If you don’t have a Warm Up Routine, you’re already losing...
Here is my go to Warm Up Mobility Routine you can copy that targets the whole body - this should take you about at least 10 mins:

1.) Lunge and Twist 🌪

2.) Downward Dog ⬇️ 🐕

3.) Upward Dog ⬆️ 🦮

4.)Pigeon Pose 🕊

5.) Hero Pose 🦸🏾‍♂️
It is up to YOU how long you want to hold each pose, but make sure hit FULL RANG OF MOTION AND BREATHE PROPERLY ‼️
Practice makes permanent, not perfect; Be mindful of your movements 🙌🏽

Monday Mobility Check ✅
The Front Squat is a great mobility screening tool for any athlete ‼️

When screening for squat mobility, you should ask yourself these questions:

1.) Am I expressing full Range of Motion with no joint pain? ✅

2.) Am I able to keep my core engaged and my torso upright? ✅

3.) Am I breathing correctly through each rep? ✅

4.) Am I balanced throughout the movement? ✅

5.) Are my Hips and Chest rising at the same time? ✅
