FLEXIBILITY/REHAB

Went in today to get Phil in and to help him with ME bench. I did some light rehab/flexibility shit.

- Squat flexibility
-- Quadriceps
-- Hip flexors
-- Adductor magnus
-- Seated glute stretch
-- Hamstring stretch
-- Adductor stretch: wall, squatting, seated
-- Calf stretch: bent knee and straight
- Rehab
-- Balance on bosu ball
--- Kickbacks
--- Single-leg squats
-- Single-arm cable rows 60x12x3
Got a big stretch every rep.
-- Pulldown abs 120x10, 130x10x2

The calf, glute, and adductor stretches have been key to improving my squat form.

Haha, I was pretty impressed by the range of rehab shit you did. It really looks to be working. I need to punch myself to stretch at least 2x a week (lower back mainly). Then again, low-ass squats and higher-rep good mornings does 99% of what I want.

Also, Nathans was amazed that I did an Ass-To-Ground close-stance bodyweight squat.

Apparently Phil is more flexible than we thought.
