WARNING: Be mindful of how your body is feeling. I recommend you see a qualified health practitioner if you're experience discomfort or pain. This material is not being designed for prescriptive purposes but as educational material. If any of these exercises are making your pain worse please refrain from doing them.

These three exercises can be used in many different circumstances but I have found anecdotally the following use case helpful.

Exercise 1: Flamingo

This is a great exercise prior to cleans, deadlifts and or squats. It activates the glutes, hamstrings and quadriceps really well.

Exercise 2: Hamstring Bridge Hold

This is a great exercise prior to snatches, pulls and or lunges. It activates the hamstrings, lower back and tibialis anterior really well.

Exercise 3: Banded Foam Roller Wall Slide

This is a great warm up exercise before jerks, bench press and or strict press. It activates the rotator cuff really well and improves shoulder stability.
