In this video, I share my top 3 ankle mobility exercises for improved function and performance. • Join us as we dive deep into each ankle mobility exercise, providing step-by-step demonstrations, and sharing valuable tips to ensure proper form and technique. • Ankle mobility is crucial for various activities, including weightlifting, sports, and everyday movements. These ankle mobility exercises will help you achieve optimal ankle range of motion and enhance your performance in lifts such as squats, cleans, and snatches. • Our top 3 ankle mobility exercises include: • 1) Banded joint mobilizations: Utilize resistance bands to target specific ankle movements, promoting flexibility and mobility. • 2) The box/bench stretch: Perform a stretch that targets the calf muscles and Achilles tendon, improving ankle dorsiflexion. • 3) The goblet squat stretch: Combine a deep squat with ankle dorsiflexion, providing a dynamic stretch for increased mobility. • Incorporating these ankle mobility exercises into your routine will enhance balance, stability, and reduce the risk of ankle-related issues.

During the ankle mobility screen, a “pinching” sensation felt in the front of the ankle indicates a bony block. These types of restrictions will not resolve with conventional stretching and foam rolling. Therefore, any pinching sensation or bony bock must be addressed first before moving onto possible soft tissue stiffness • One of the easiest ways to improve joint restrictions on your own is to use a band mobilization. The rubber material of the band is elastic and strong enough to affect the tough joint-capsules. • Monster band from Rogue: https://www.roguefitness.com/rogue-mo... • Stretching the muscles is the next step to addressing soft tissue restrictions. Short durations holds for multiple reps (10-30 seconds) have been shown to improve mobility without decreases in performance and may be great for those who have moderate to small restrictions and are looking to perform at their very best that day. For those with larger restrictions needing to really improve technique quality, longer durations holds (1 minute for example) may be a better idea in the short term to get the most out of your mobility work. • After you have addressed your stiff ankles, it's time to check and see the progress you have made. Always employ a test-retest strategy when performing mobility exercises. This allows you to see if the tools you are using are effective in addressing the change you desire. • Buy my book: https://www.amazon.com/Squat-Bible-Ul... • Subscribe to this channel here: https://tinyurl.com/y2eq7kpr • Recommended products: https://squatuniversity.com/recommend... • ____________________________________________________________ • Big thanks to 3d4Medical and their app Complete Anatomy for the visual of the body today.
