Mark Ottobre shows how poor mobility tanks your lifts. He walks through a drill with a stick: form a pistol shape with your fingers, hollow your core, brace your glutes, then lift. The movement feels harder than it looks when your mobility isn't there.
Make a pistol with your fingers and turn these out just a tiny bit for me. As in that way, like 45-degree angle. Okay, great. Head down. Put your belly button into your spine, almost like my hand can come underneath. There you go, right? Flex your bum, right? There you go. I want you to hollow out like that. Okay, now I want you to lift the stick off the floor. 3, 2, 1, back down. It's a lot harder than it looks.
