"Prioritize consistency over intensity. Integrate short, targeted mobility drills as part of your warm-up and cool-down routines, specifically addressing your personal sticking points for squat and bench depth. Focus on active control through the new range of motion."
For optimal results, incorporate specific mobility drills daily or before every training session. A dedicated 10-15 minute session on off-days can also be highly beneficial for cumulative gains.
No, quite the opposite. Improved flexibility and mobility in key joints (hips, ankles, thoracic spine, shoulders) allows for safer, deeper, and more efficient movement patterns, often leading to increased strength potential by utilizing better leverages and reducing compensatory movements.
Ankle dorsiflexion and hip external rotation/flexion are typically the biggest culprits. Addressing tightness in calves, Achilles, and hip flexors/adductors is crucial.
Focus on thoracic extension and rotation drills. Using a foam roller for upper back extensions, cat-cow variations, and specific stretches that open the chest and mobilize the shoulder girdle will significantly help.
