Ignoring Mobility Was My Biggest Mistake

When I first started lifting I skipped mobility because I thought it was only for athletes or people recovering from injuries. Looking back that was probably one of my biggest mistakes. Tight hips and shoulders slowly affected my squat and bench technique without me even realizing it. After adding just a few minutes of mobility work before and after training i felt smoother in my movements and my range of motion gradually improved. It wasn't an overnight change but after a few weeks I noticed less stiffness better control during lifts and fewer aches after heavy sessions.
