night gymbob...night billygoat Member 933, 25 posts SQ 210, BP 155, DL 290655.0 kgs @ 125kgs UnEq | Hi there, im after some advice, basically I've been training for a while now but would like to get more into olly lifting and went to my first proper tutored session last week, basically I have a mobility issue. I can squat with good form (so I think and have been told) and front squat ass to grass etc with good form, however I can squat ass to grass with no weight but I lean very far forward, (I do not do this with say 50kg). As I am being taught with just the bar and a broom handle I am struggling to sink into my hips and duck down whilst trying to clean. I am 6 ft 2 and weigh around 19 stone. I have been told to keep my legs a little closer which makes it harder for me still. Its like my adductors/abductors are too tight without having a load to push them down, am I right in thinking this? What can I do to improve my flexibility regarding this if it is this apart from just abductor and adductor stretches? | ||

 next comp I want to enter the platform via zipwire Member 4872, 992 posts SQ 237.5, BP 142.5, DL 265645.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq | Mobility WOD super hip opener sequence Also spend 10 mins a day in as upright a squat position as you can maintain. Doesn't matter how you break that 10 mins up through the day, just spend lots of time in that position, hammies to calfs weight over heels back poker straight and chest up. And overhead squats. | ||

Their the main ones I do, hold them for over a minute and your hips should feel much looser. | ||

 Trump will get another four years Member 126, 16708 posts SQ 160, BP 110, DL 225495.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq | my advice is not to bother with any complicated stretches. all I ever did was sit in the bottom of a squat with a barbell on my back for 3 60 second sets once a day. and I will take anyone up on a squat flexibility pepsi challenge.  if you want to stretch the the muscles and tendons so they will sit in a low squat position - stretch the muscles and tendons in a squat position. simples! | ||
