That's great except you'll want to change the order.

"Squat Pulls" is a great name for them. You'll want to do that last. Think of that as akin to a static stretch. Sitting down for long periods in that position is going to tend to tune down the cns and muscles so you don't want to follow that with more dynamic movements, esp. like oh squats. Make sure when you do them that you are concentrating on engaging the glutes and you'll want to "pull" yourself down with the hip flexors. So you're not "pulling" with your arms they are simply a source of stability.

You could of course do the squat to stands first and then the oh squats and the pulls last. Of course you can do any other of the mobility work such as EC recommends before the oh squats. The lunge type stuff. Walking spidermans. I like the 'spiderman crawls' by the way. And thoracic extensions...whatever.

You can do over/unders or what's called hurtles or something like that. Use a bar set in a squat rack and step over it back and forth concentrating solely on hip mobility while keeping the torso up and set. Go front to back and side to side...

But do the pulls last and you can spend more time in the bottom position that way. Feel free to sort of wiggle around a bit opening up the hips to find more range of motion.

I like the Dan John drill a WHOLE lot also so don't forget them.

Great stuff, Anuj. Keep it up.

Ummm...page 49 of max strength.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
