Maintaining mobility is rewarding.

It makes your body feel better during daily life and while lifting.

A lot of people don’t do it, though, because it just gets lost in the shuffle of the daily grind.

So, a good way to make sure you’re getting some consistent mobility work in is to simply incorporate overhead squats with the barbell in all of your warm-ups.

3 sets of 10 will go a long ways.

Your hips, thoracic spine and shoulders will thank you.

If you don’t regularly overhead squat, you might find this extremely humbling at first.  Stay consistent and you’ll improve rapidly.

Bonus: Toss in a couple sets of deep overhead reverse lunges for even more hip mobility.

Bonus: Toss in a couple of heavy OHS sets on leg days for even more mobility, and of course muscle and strength.

Carry on.
