DM #352: In that order.

And yes, sometimes working on stability will grant you more mobility, but if you have a true physiological mobility restriction ya gotta work on that first. All too often I see folks working on things out of order, thinking that getting a heavier backsquat will suddenly make their ankles more mobile (FYI, the heavier barbell will not miraculously push you down more and mobilize your ankles ?). Other way around. Better ankles will give you a bigger squat. Trust.

As kids we start off with full mobility, gain stability, and then mess it up along the way. As adults seeking to work on our movement, we gotta revisit our roots. Gain that mobility. Impart that stability. Then work on strength. True, if you've lost mobility at an area it typically means that you first lost stability somewhere else, but that mobility restriction cannot be ignored.

Alrighty. That's all for tonight, kids. Get assessed. Figure out what's missing. Proceed accordingly.
