Let me introduce you all to the bucket o’ pain. These lovely little torture devices are going to help us restore range of motion into our joints while at the same time help prevent injury. Just so you guys don’t think that we are full of it; I am getting this stuff from the Mobility Wod site. KStar comes up with some great information and some really good posts. Here is one that I found profoundly useful:

“I just wanted to take a moment to remind you that there are No Days Off. Everyday is about getting better, recovering, training, etc. It’s never enough to walk up to a barbell or competition and say, “today I’ve got to be great.” You’ve got to cultivate greatness.
Everyday. Relentlessly. So stop saying rest day already. You never get to rest.”

Go get some today.
