I want to start a thread about this, perhaps if we pimp it out enough maybe will be a sticky.

Mobility is something we all need to work on, particularly as we age.
I'm on the young side, but do need extensive work- to be "warm" Im pretty banged up,
my recovery ain't great, and I know most of you are too.

I hate to sound like a T-Nation article full of abbreviations gone bad, but I really cant pimp some of this enough.

Mobility = longevity


the keywords today - are dynamic warm up
and foam rolling- the soft tissue work it provides are really underrated.


YTWL shoulder protocol


Shoulder dislocates/broomstick stretch


Eric Cressey Foam rolling


Eric Cressey Thoracic extensions


Defranco sample mobility drills lower


Defranco upper


Itband stretches


this is probably a decent start.

Mods - I vote for stickiness. It's at least as important as TRT.

Great idea kmc, it's got my vote. Fact I just posted on my log how I've been neglecting this and am paying for it in my lower back. I'm doing an overhaul on my routine to include more mobility exercises.

Mobility + working out = longevity

Yeah... I gotta start doin' this too. I'm hurtin'.

Great stuff, KMC!

Ditto for the sticky.. I gotta do more of this myself.

Another vote for stickiness!!

Thanks people

I have Steve Maxwell's Encyclodepia of Joint Mobility DVD series and can't say enough good things about it.

Question. Do the stretches work on people of normal statue, say over 5' something? Joke. I agree with the sticky. Tired of the low T stuff being at the top of the forum and this is useful info for most. Do we make a sacrifice to the mods or something? Didn't we have to threatened them with pictures of us in speedos last time we had a request.

Great thread.

Mods, please sticky-- it might help alleviate the nightmares I have about kmc's big scary teeth.

OK... mods aren't taking us seriously... I have bought a sequined lime green thong speedo, gonna put it on and post a pic... I'm crazy man, don't push me!!! Sticky!

Thanks. Mods...

funny...logged in to join the plea for a sticky...

Thanks Mods....

Thanks kmc...already tried some of these before my squat session this morning.

Thanks KMC for all the work you put into this. You should put an e-book together. I'd buy it.

Thank you mods and KMC.

KMC, great idea. You pointing me to some of these a few months ago has really helped me out. I'd also like to introduce all of you to Z-Health if you haven't heard of it. The founder is Dr. Eric Cobb and the web site is www.zhealth.net. Steve Maxwell mentioned he got some of his ideas from Cobb. I borrowed the R-Phase dvd from a friend and it's awesome. It's worth the price on the web site. As a matter of fact, T-Mag should interview this guy.

Maybe I should use the search more often. The article ts called DJM Training. They already interviewed him.

FWIW - These are the only exercises I could do after I was cleaned up in a car accident. Great/low impact way to get the blood pumping. All you really need is a stretch cord and a door frame:










And the T-Nation article

And KMC - great thread!

Thanks Al38!
I like the band stretch stuff, nice work.
I have some stuff, I need to re-find on youtube, Ill get those up at somepoint.

Think its just stuff we need , that we all neglect..

I have another idea for a thread- Big guy energy systems work I dont know what kind of interest people would have.
But lets keep pimping this one out first!
