I am a former thrower so a lot of these mobility drills I have grown to learn and love. I think any athlete, especially weightlifters or anyone trying to learn the Olympic Lifts, should make fervent efforts to become more flexible. Flexibility equals better technique. Better technique equals less injuries.

Training Tip Tuesday: Shoulder Flexibility
The Olympic Lifts require a certain amount of flexibility to execute properly. If you aren't flexible, I'd like to share a couple of shoulder stretching warm ups to incorporate into your program. If you are flexible, it doesn't hurt to try something new.
