Did some stretches this morning and feel looser already.
A real quick tip:

Tie you lifting belt on, get a Blue Band and loop that around your belt so two ends hang down. Then sit down on a very low box and stand on the two loose ends.

Do bodyweight Squats for sets of 15. It'll work your Squat specific flexibility like nothing else.

Cool thanks man. I'll do that before speed squats at the weekend.

Thought I'd ask in your log so you see it. Did you do anything specific to fix it or was it as simple as focusing on retracting it?

J - That's pretty much it. I have done more pull aparts with bands, more scapular retraction work and I just concentrate more on it
