Mobility & Range of Motion/ Myofasical Release/ Yoga & Flexibility/ Stretching

Awesome book, the subject really changed the way I look at athletic progression and injury prevention. The key for me has been to practice or stretch the range of motion I'm interested in as much as possible.
So for squats I practice holding myself in "the hole" or ass to grass position. At first I could only do it for maybe 15 sec but now hold it for not less than 3 min. I do this several times a day and as part of my warm up/cool down. For shoulder mobility I like to just hang on my pull up bar, grip strength is a bonus. I also do a lot of movements with just the bar. Right now I'm actually doing a de load week so I can get my range of motion down with my new weightlifting shoes.
