What do you guys do for Mobility?

[thethinker48]

One month of BJJ (2-3 times a week), and my lower back pain is gone. Hips are more open, and I can move way more smoothly than before.

Movement is a forgotten concept. We train our bodies from A to B ROM and develop so many imbalances it's pretty interesting.

I stretch each bodypart after I'm done working it, I also stretch my quads, hip flexors every workout. I also get ART massage every three weeks.

Back in the day i trained down in Texas getting ready for a bodybuilding show, 2011 i believe, and the owner of one of the metroflexes said hed help me contest prep for free and I could train with him, he had a trwining crew of 6 or 7 dedicated hard training guys, mostly younger fellas in their 20s like me.

He alwasy would yell at us to go stretch when we started coming in, most of them would half ass it and or tell him about this study and that study that said stretching was bad for you. I alwasy followed him around and did his exact stretch and warmup routine because he was(and still is) one of the coolest most badass dudes ive ever met (325 pound strongman) and i wanted to be just like him, i was 23 at the time. Everyone else in our group constantly had impingemnet and movement issuses and tore shit and pulled stuff but he and i were always 100 percent and never had an issue.

Since 2011 ive alwasy done a full body stretching warm-up routine and have added in some activation and dynamic movements here and there as ive learned more things. Takes maybe 15 mins on the longest warmup day(max effort lower body) As a result Ive never had a serious training injury and have full comfortable movement in all my lifts

Lookup anything from mike boyle and eric cressey. Train like a track athlete and you will be more mobile and less injury prone than almost anyone

eric cressey has great shit out ... second this

I trained BJJ off and on for years but had been going consistently for the prior 2 years before having my 3 back surgeries in a year starting in 2017. Anyway training to compete in BJJ tournaments was what helped make me make my final decision the have back surgery because my L5/S1 disc was ruptured and kept giving me painful setbacks. I would love to get back to BJJ but am in worse pain now than before the surgeries. My question is what type of back injury do you have that BJJ has reduced your pain? Hearing you say this gives me hope that maybe I should try getting back to class to see if it'll help me with my pain now that I'm supposedly fixed...
