MOBILITY
• [5:00] What is mobility?
• [6:03] Medical Definition is the "ability to move".
• [6:30] "The ability to achieve a position", like the bottom of a squat.
• [7:05] Mobility has become a scapegoat term used to describe anyone who is struggling to achieve a subjective viewpoint of what movement should look like.
• [7:17] How do we define what is a good position? When there is no 'right' way to move.
• [9:07] Mobility should be tied to the related to the skill (ie. bottom of the muscle up) vs. simply looking at it the tissue function (ie. fo am rolling the lats).

• [10:40] SAID: Specific Adaptions to Impose Demands is a Strength & Conditioning principle that you're going to get better at what you're doing. Practice the thing you want to get better at and develop skill in that realm. Doing so, will naturally improve mobility.

• [11:20] Doing skill based drills to warm-up and improve mobility is better than random movements or exercises that don't necessary add value or stress to learning the skill or performing the movement you'll be working on... (ie. Bottom dip holds. vs. random shoulder banded drills).
• [11:40] Allows for a more direct approach and reduces barriers to activity (ie. time) when it comes to training and rehab.

• [12:05] Reprogram the notion that mobility routines or exercises are needed before taking part in exercises when time is a limitation.
