Open 18.1 Mobility Tips

Helping You Improve Your Kipping Efficiency and Overhead Position
Congratulations if you managed to stay up and watch GLC2000 athlete Sam Briggs smash Crossfit Open workout 18.1 in the live announcement overnight in São Paulo, Brazil. Don’t worry if you haven’t watch it yet, there are no spoilers here.
Workout 18.1 is a triplet consisting of toes to bar, dumbbell hang clean and jerks and rowing for calories.
The biggest gains from a mobility perspective are to help improve kipping efficiency for the toes to bar and overhead positioning for the dumbbell work.
In the video below Hat Hewitt of MAP Rehab demonstrates four mobility exercises that you will make this 20 min AMRAP workout a bit easier on your upper back and shoulders.
Due to the long duration of the this workout it’s unlikely that there’s going to be much time for guided mobility and warmup before you tackle this workout. Give yourself a competitive edge grab yourself a foam roller, bench (with soft edges), lacrosse ball and a bit of space on a pullup bar and follow this mobility guide.

“I’ve had shoulder and elbow issues for years, these are brought on by my job which involves lots of repetitive gripping and hammering. This affects my training and my work, so I used to spend £160 a month on chiropractor visits.
GLC2000 costs me less than £25 a month for better results! I know I’ll be able to follow my training programme after a busy day at work, and be certain that the following day I will be able to work again”


“Like most Crossfitters I don’t have the luxury to train full time. I have a 9-5 office job, family responsibilities plus I also coach at Crossfit Blockhouse.
With all this going on, I don’t always have to time for as much recovery and mobility work as I’d like. This is why a quality joint supplement like GLC2000 is so important, it gives my joints and connective tissue everything they need to repair the daily wear and tear I cause them.
If you’ve got joint issues, use GLC2000 consistently for a few months, believe me you will notice a big difference.”


“My main job is mum to four kids. A tough but very rewarding job! Plus I work part-time for my husband doing the admin stuff he hates.
I had a shoulder impingement for years that I just tried to control with anti-inflammatory meds. Now I can manage my shoulder and other aches with just GLC2000. I would say GLC2000 is a must for masters athletes.”


“Training has always been a big part of my life. I’ve trained twice a day, around my physical 8am-5pm day job, for as long as I can remember.
I’d get used to dull aches, I thought it was just par for the course. Not anymore, I train just as hard but by adding GLC2000 into my recovery routine I hardly ache at all. If you put in the work, this stuff is an absolute must.”
