What's up, Achievers?! Quick but action-packed episode for you all today!

Next, we went over how to improve full range of motion push ups (4:38). Then, we delved into preventing shin splints. You can access the video on ankle mobility [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2RDnkq_thU&t=0s) (7:55). Finally, we cover the difference between using a hook and mixed grip for deadlifts and which one we recommend (11:33). We hope you enjoyed this episode!
