Thanks! Two things: Is there a good sub for the bar hang? I don’t have a bar. Is a pigeon stretch as good as a modified one? I felt like I couldn’t get into the modified one comfortably.
I also do the daily routine with Pliability. I started it last October and have found it to be incredibly beneficial. Furthermore, I recommend it to everyone, but no one is interested. It's another one of those 2% things.
This is well timed succinct advice for me. I’ve been noticing all kinds of tightness in my hips. This beats the hell out of the stretches I learned in high school lacrosse 20 years ago.
Have any of you discovered ways to get friends and family who are sore and stiff to incorporate moves like this? No one I know is interested in what I'm doing because they view it as excessive, even when I explain that a short stretch in the morning would help them throughout the day.
PainScience.com argues that stretching has virtually no proven benefits for injury prevention, pain management, or performance enhancement, contrary to popular belief.
Where's the video? Would love to watch so that we can see the exercises. It says that there is a video at the bottom but there is no link. Am I missing it?
VERY Impressive couch sit! I started the 'Knees-over-toes guy' WO 2 months ago to deal w/patella pain and this is 1 of Patrick's major emphasis stretches. Being both upright and STABLE is impressive! That modified hip pigeon stretch I've added to my every day drills (EDDs) - KEEPER. On the dead hang - CAN NOT emphasize this enough in those 40 and older. Unless targeted specifically - the loss in grip strength over time is one sneaky MTHFKR and with this being a critical longevity key metric, it must be worked regularly.
1 week in and already feeling a difference. I can actually do the kneeling windmill now. The side lunge stretch identified some tight muscles, which have since started loosening up, much easier this morning as compared with the first time I did it last week.
I completely underestimated the windmill warm up. Holy shit! I am no weight working the form. And I thought I had good mobility! 20 years of Yoga no carry over😂
I'm new to the New Rules of Lifting book/workout, but the authors suggest something similar to Michael's 2% Warmup. They call it RAMP. I'm going to give Michael's warmup a try and see which one I prefer.
Shoulder hangs have helped a ton with my shoulder issues. Even if I put my feet on the ground and simply apply pressure while hanging, it works wonders.

Also interested in the answer to this - is this a pigeon regression or modified to hit different muscles?
A good sub i found is to grab the frame around a doorway around waist height and lean your hips and butt back.
I do a daily routine with Pliability. I’ve found it really helps with recovery and overall flexibility.

I find it really beneficial as well. I have a gimpy knee made worse by tight hamstrings and IT bands. Pliability has really made a difference.
I have found mobility work makes a tremendous difference for me.
Same for me. I do like 15-20 minutes a day and it’s really helped. Pliability is basically gravity yoga
Pliability has fixed so many of my aches and pains from crossfit. I recommend it to everyone. Plus, it's a relaxing/calming way to end the day.
I love it.
Big thanks for the recommendation for Pliability. Downloaded and added to my daily routine
Hope you like it!

Nope. People I’ve shared it with are like “but I stretch for 30 seconds”
thanks. good stuff. fyi, the Momentus links all return a 404

It looks like the video links and descriptions of the moves have been dropped from this page

Wow! The kneeling overhead is killer! Definitely my Eleanor. Must. Work. Harder.
