YOUR MOBILITY IS FAKE, AND THAT’S WHY YOU’RE STILL TIGHT

You can stretch all day. You can foam roll till you bleed. But if you don’t control that new range of motion under load? That sh*t is fake mobility.
Here’s what most people don’t get, flexibility is useless if you can’t own that position. If your nervous system freaks out every time you hit a deep squat or overhead position, your body’s gonna lock up. You’re not “tight.” You’re not in control in new ranges.
That’s why you stretch and stretch and still feel stiff. Your body doesn’t trust you in that range, so it slams the brakes. It’s like giving a toddler a chainsaw and wondering why things go wrong.
👉 Do this now:
✅ Stop passive stretching without active follow up
✅ Load your new ranges, eccentrics, isometrics, slow controlled reps
✅ Train through the joint angle you want to keep
If you want mobility that sticks, you’ve gotta earn it. Control = permission. Weak = restricted.
