Completed Prep Phase – Mobility 2.0

Just wrapped up the 4-week Prep Phase of Mobility 2.0.
I introduced this phase here: Mobility 2.0 – Starting the Prep

It went surprisingly smooth — my body still loves this kind of work.
Mobility is clearly a “low-hanging fruit” for me. Every session feels like I’m doing something important.

But don’t be fooled by the word “prep” — this phase exposed a ton of hidden weaknesses.

Exercises that shocked me:

• Crouch Rocks – My brain seems disconnected from whatever muscles these require 😄
• Frog Rocks – No chance of shifting hips back; forward is fine, but posterior range is broken
• Straddle Sit – Honestly felt… disabled. Like I hit a hard limit of flexibility
• Pike Sit – Another brutal reminder of how catastrophically stiff I am

The authors of Mobility 2.0 do warn you not to expect fast progress.
And now I get it. These movements are thankless in the short term.

Unlike strength training — where you often see week-to-week gains — mobility asks for months of quiet, invisible work. It’s the opposite of dopamine-driven progress.

But I’ve committed to it.

I’m giving myself 6 months of discipline and consistency.
No ego, no rush — just faith that the body rewards patient effort.

Let’s see what happens.
