Also, it's not a cue, but as I've gotten older, flexibility and mobility is literally a one to one focus for me. For every day that I lift, I have a true mobility/flexibility day. It's beyond critical.

What does your normal/optimal mobility day consist of? Finding flexibility and mobility are becoming issues for me.

Mobility/flexibility needs to be every day. You'll never make a true impact with one day a week.

If you program your lifting, you should program your mobility. Pair hip work with your squat day, shoulder work with your bench day, etc.

I'm a big fan of ROMWOD for flexibility, 20min every evening before bed. I was well on the path to a hernia, and ROMWOD really helped open my hips/illacus/psoas more than anything else I've done.

I lift three days a week (Mon/Wed/Fri) and I do yoga in between (Tues/Thur/Sat) with Sunday being a pure off day although I usually do something lightly active like bike or something. The yoga is incredible for me when it comes to mobility and flexibility.

Some of the progress I've made makes me feel like a little kid again. I remember it used to make a huge difference what position I slept in. If I rolled into an odd position or spent too much time with my arm or shoulder or back in one direction, my whole body would be wrecked when I woke-up.

Now, I wakeup and feel good to go every damn morning. I love it.
