Mobility WOD:  Neck and Trap Smash Spend 5-8 minutes mobilizing your neck and upper traps. Start by lying on your back with a lacrosse ball where your neck and skull meet.  Start with the ball at midline. Cross your forearms and place them on your forehead for added pressure. Relax your jaw at all times.  Breathe in for 4 seconds, out for 8 seconds. Rotate your head slowly left and right. Work the ball from midline to just behind the angle of your jaw. Repeat on the other side.  "Strip" the SCM(sternocleidomastoid) muscle by rolling the lacrosse ball from back to front across the muscle. Repeat on other side. Lastly, place the lacrosse ball where neck and upper trapezius meet.  Hold a 10-25# plate overhead. Floss the muscle by turning your head towards the ball and "driving" the plate.  Work the ball down the trap/next to the spine only a few inches.  Repeat on other side. Keep this tissue mobilized by using good posture.  Elongate your neck and tuck your chin when sitting!!!
