James Orr Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 (edited) Hi everyone. I've followed GB on social media for years , but Tim Ferris' podcast with Coach Sommer convinced me to really start one of the stretching courses. One of my new years resolutions was to be able to do a nice pancake. I usually need to sit on a foam roller to have a neutral spine when I practice them after a workout. So that's a movement I'd love to be able to do. However, I also have a decent butt wink when I squat and have had some lower back soreness for the past two months after adding a 20 minute row in twice a week. My hamstrings and adductors are both tight, so I know I'd benefit from both series. However, I want to start gradually and only do one right now. My debit card thought that was a good idea, too. I was wondering which you'd recommend starting with? I'll copy my weekly workout schedule below to give you an idea about the type of activity I do, just in case it's relevant. Thanks for your thoughts! Mon - Back squat, snatch, dip Tues - 20 minute row, 20-30 pull-ups Wed - Turkish getups, deadlift, military press Thurs - Rest (this is the day I'd stretch) Fri - 20 min of KB snatch or row, 20-30 pull-ups Sat - Front squat, clean and jerk, dip Sun - Rest Edited August 21, 2016 by James Orr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everett Carroll Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I recommend the Front Split Series. Pike mobility is usually the first best thing to work on when beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Orr Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 Front Split it is then. Thanks, Everett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
