The four specific areas that we want to mobilize in the Olympic lifts are:
- Ankle
- Hip
- Thoracic spine
- Shoulder external rotation
A lifter that doesn't spend time mobilizing these areas could have problems executing the lifts with any semblance of good technique. A lack of mobility in these areas can lead to compensatory patterns that could cause injury.
