Mobility and coachability

A few words on both.

We have some type of mobility exercise on the board every day before or after every workout. We put this on here in order that you have the opportunity to be a better organized, more flexible, more powerful athlete. If you are not doing the mobility movements, then you are missing an important part of the workout. And if you’re missing it examine why. Are you chatting? Do you think it’s not important? Is it a weakness and you don’t want to do it? Do you think you don’t need it?

Well, you need it and you should do something everyday. Don’t just go through the motions either. Focus on the mobility position with the same effort you give a one rep max lift. And speaking of a one rep max, if you want improving numbers, get more flexible. Imagine you have a really bad overhead position. If you improve your overhead position, you will be better able to hold more weight overhead. Silly, concept, we know.

Do what’s on the board. Focus on the effort. We program the warm up, the mobility, and the workouts very specifically to help you be better. Take advantage of it.

And what the heck is coachability? Do you argue with our suggestions for improvement or do you take it in and work to implement them as quickly as possible? We all fall along this continuum somewhere. Try to be closer to the implementing athlete rather than the arguing athlete. You will improve faster and we can help you more. Plus, we will all have more fun.
