I used to squat heavy asf without warming up. I have since snapped my piriformis muscle in my hip and cannot walk and have been on co codomol. (Didn't touch the pain) then codeine (didn't touch the pain) and now I'm on tramadol 50mg x4 a day with ibuprofen, paracetamol, please warm up before squatting heavy guys.

Ass to grass is the way!! I'm not the biggest dude and my squat is only currently at a 305 1rm, but I pride myself on my mobility. I think there's only a handful or two of people at my gym who can match my depth and I love it, and there are even less people when it comes to matching my depth with minimal 225 on the bar. Work on your mobility people, even if it may add a little extra time to your workouts it can only help you in the long run!
Can confirm I had pain on right leg for months. Cured in 40 reps. No more Also now my left leg doing this is unstable at the knee. Im confident i can make everything feel bullet proof using just this

This channel is great! I don't lift and can't really make use of a lot of the specific exercises you recommend though.

Doing these movements and warmups are underrated. Hell even yoga is.
Good information thank you
I feel like people who lift would have better form and could add more weight to their lifts if they did yoga 1x or 2x a week
2 sets of 10-15 with no weight. Wow! What a revolutionary way of warming up
