Pre-Lift Hip Mobility |
Start in the long sitting position with your feet separated and your hands behind you. Sit as tall as possible and flatten your back by posterior tilting your pelvis. Slowly try to slide your right foot away from your pelvis as far as possible - creating a good distraction in the hip joint. Now try to rotate the thigh back and forth while simultaneously distracting the hip. Repeat for 30 seconds. Now bring your hands in front of you and repeat the motion. Now bend the left knee, placing the left foot on the inside of the right leg (hurdle position). Repeat the same motion for 30 seconds. Finally, cross the left foot over the right thigh and repeat the motion for the fourth time. Now repeat on the opposite side.

Pre-Lift Hip Mobility |
Lie on your side with your knees bent and feet on top of each other. Keeping your feet in contact with each other, try to lift your top knee up as far as possible.
Next, keep your knees together and raise the top foot away from the bottom foot and slowly return to starting position. This is simply a clam shell as described above, but in reverse.
Next, split your knees apart and perform the reverse clam shell while keeping your knees approximately six inches apart during all leg movements.
Finally, with knees split apart six inches, take top leg and move it backwards (extend) until the upper leg (femur) is in line with the spine and perform reverse clam shells.
Repeat on opposite side.

Perform this exercise inside a squat rack for safety reasons. Set the bar on a rack corresponds to your height. Bring your arms up under the bar; keep your arms up under the bar and your upper arm slightly above parallel to the floor. Rest the bar on top of your deltoids and cross your arms. Grasp the bar for control. Lift the bar off the rack by pushing with your legs and straightening your torso. Step back from the rack and place your legs shoulder width apart with your toes slightly pointed out. Keep your back straight. This is the starting position for the exercise. Lower the bar slowly until the angle between your upper legs and calves is slightly less than 90 degrees. Your upper legs should be parallel with the floor. Inhale as you do so. Raise the bar by pushing the middle of your foot against the floor. Straighten your legs and go back to the starting position. Exhale as you do so. Repeat for the desired number of reps. Keep your head up at all times; looking down will put you off balance. Perform with BACK STRAIGHT. It is a must that this exercise be done with a naturally curved back and head facing up or straight forward throughout movement. Be sure to bend at your knees just as if you were sitting down. Try not to push knees outward. If barbell is uncomfortable resting on shoulders, use a barbell pad or place a towel on front of shoulders.
