I’m a fairly heavy gym-goer and feel pretty good with my deadlifting as of late, but I still have issues with my mobility when squatting. I keep listing to one side which is preventing me from progressing. My PT has been recommending mobility warm ups/exercises to do before my set…but I’m also just sooo lazy when it comes to doing them so I just…never do them. I should try and fit them in before I go to the gym so I don’t have to worry about them once I get there.
Yoga is another option for you. My squatting mobility definitely improved when I was consistent with going to a weekly class, but YouTube at home is just as good. Consistency is key though, any improvements fade away if you don’t keep at it.

That’s a good tip! I saw Netflix just released some new yoga series which I’ve been meaning to try out
really enjoyed julia reppel mobility workouts off youtube, this reminds me to get back into doing them
What sort of mobility exercises are we talking?
side planks (focus on using glutes), bird-dog and another one which involves lying down and holding my core tight (forgot the name)
Could it be a glute bridge ?
Nah just lead a stretching and balance class on the train home after work 😄
Haha i’m sure the peak hour commuters would love that
