SuperMario

I was inspired by a discussion in the forum to insert the following warm-up before my WO:

1. Wrists:

-Coach Sommer's wrist routine

2. Shoulders/Upper Body:

-Ido Portal's Scapula Mobilization routine

Scapula Push Ups X 10 reps / slow and controlled, pause at both ends

Overhead Straight Arm Pull Down X 10 reps / slow and controlled, pause at both ends

The Whippet X 10 reps / slow and controlled, pause at both ends

Shoulder Dislocations X 10 reps / Slow and controlled

-GymGreg's Shoulder Warm Up

8-12 reps per angle - Standing straight arm reverse shoulder flys at low, middle, and level with shoulders (see video in title above)

8-12 reps per angle - Normal standing straight arm shoulder flys in 3 different angles

8-12 reps - Bulgarian / Cuban rotations with arms out to sides parallel with shoulders and elbows bent 90 degrees pointing up

8-12 reps - Bent over cross pulls

8-12 reps - Bent over inverted cross pulls

8-12 reps - Straight arm rotations

3. Trunk/Back:

-Bridges

4. Lower body/Legs:

-Ido Portal's Squat Clinic

10 Soleus Dynamic Squat Stretch w/ 10 second hold at last rep

10 Hip Rotations On All Fours (five per leg)

10 Squat Hip Rotation alternating right and left

30-60 second Toes Stretch (sit on your feet with your toes curled under)

10 Dynamic Toes Stretch (rock in and out of previous stretch with hand support)

30-60 second static squat (hold at bottom as deep as you can without pain, keep feet pointed forward with knees externally rotated)

10-20 bodyweight squats (go as deep as you can without pain)

Obviously I'm still poor on the mobility. In the videos I do not run all the exercises at best. In some videos I used simplified versions of the exercises (for example in a bridge or in a wrist push ups)!
