There seems to be an explosion of information coming out recently on mobility. Most of it sucks though. Check out mobilitywod.com and just search around until you find some hip opening exercises. The last 50 episodes have been pretty awesome. The guy who runs the site, Kelly Starret, has recently started working with Donnie Thompson and the Supertraining guys so several of the recent WODs are geared towrards improving mobility for the powerlifts. KStar is like the Yoda of proper squatting mechanics.[/quote]
Wow I’ve spent about the last 2 hours watching videos on that site, taking notes so I don’t have to drag my computer to the gym with me. But you were right, that guy seems to know what he’s talking about and i’m excited to start trying to use these.

I feel like a fossil having not employed any sort of mobility work or even stretching for about the last 5 years.
EDIT: I’d kick my own ass if I was a “cross-fitter”
For ext. rotation- Quad a mini band, sit down, put the mini band just below your knees, then externally rotate your hips as hard as possible. Do that 100 times and do it everyday for at least two weeks. Try to change the height you are sitting as much as possible (lower is harder).

Holy shit. I tried this yesterday with a doubled light mini after squats and my hips starting cramping bad at around 15 reps. Did a couple sets and SI joint pain was instantly reduced significantly. Will definitely continue with this, Thanks!
