When your stretch is a Flex

I really love your videos. They help me a lot. And you seem so positive and shining all the time - it's contagious and motivating. I could even imagine you giving motivational speeches.

Thank you. I learn a lot from you. And I’m in naprapthy school!

You and HybridCalisthenics are my go tos for body workouts and stretching. Not sure how to do it, but would be cool to see you guys do a collab

Living in Indonesia with squat toilet makes me didn't realise that i did deep squat everyday since i was born

Thanks brother love the geeky vibe. No ego. Just wisdom. ✊🏼

Your videos are amazing. Flexibility is something I've always wanted to develop, but until I found your channel I got overwhelmed trying to figure out how to stretch safely and consistently

This is the best fitness promotion ever . Nothing exaggerated nothing hyped. All just about consistency. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Dude your channel is one of the best and most encouraging one that I’ve found. Gives me something to work for, granted being 6’4” and about 295-298lbs it’s going to take me a while to get there. I’m willing to do the work though. Thank you.

No but my stomach is stopping me 😂

I have never been able to do a deep squat, but your videos helped me with my hip mobility, and I can now almost do a wider deep squat!!!! I just reeeeeally need to work on my ankles now lol. Your videos have seriously helped me!!!

Hi David! Can you please post a daily full body stretch routine?? I want to achieve press handstands/splits etc. & think I should be stretching everyday to achieve it but don’t know exactly what ones to do :)

This is the best and quickest explanation of a soleus stretch I've ever seen... Really appreciate what you're doing with your videos man!!

1 M is near, love your videos, wish I could buy your products 😢

love your videos so much!

I learned many of these exercises in ballet class which has allowed me to stay flexible. I am a 70 yr man. Love these exercises . Stay flexible.

We were hungry for deep squat, he responded by serving deep squat as a main dish plus middle split for dessert!

David is the most likeable guy on the internet

Hiring you as my personal trainer would be my quickest decision ever 👏🏼 I love how you explain things and move differently. (please you should start an online stretch sesh stream or something…)

I'm Slavic. Squatting is definitely in my genetics. Being American born my squatting standsout sometimes haha but it's honestly a comfortable way to sit.

The flat foot squat from the beginning is one of few things from your videos that I can do easily...so I'm not completely out of shape lol.

Bro could you please post a video about your personal favorite workouts and maybe how to start doing them? I’ve been skinny and somewhat flexible, but also strong my entire life. I want to get into ‘bodybuilding’ but not like most people that bulk and cut and go to the gym and lift heavy weights… I don’t wanna be super big, I love being lightweight but I don’t wanna loose muscle since I’m physically inactive rn due to an injury. I want to do it just like you, doing handstands, lift my whole body rather effortlessly… not feel like a noodle pretty much lol I really love your channel and the content bc I can really relate to it and feel like I actually achieve realistic goals according to my body type. Thank you!

I watched 3 videos and now you are my best channel ❤❤

Now, those two stretches together are great!!! Thanks!!

Why is this guy all over my youtube and why is he so entertaining?

Helped me with carrying heavy boxes felt so flexy

The most impressive thing is that he is doing this in public!😂

Your vids are always amazing to me. HOW the heck did you learn all this? I'm 56 and very inflexible - not sure I could even get more flexy without serious baby steps.

There was a time in my childhood where I would just sit on chairs like that.

The most impressive thing is that he did this in jeans!😂

I really appreciate this as stretching out my ankles is really important to me after an injury to one of them several years ago. It stiffens up over night, it's immobile for the first 20 minutes of the day. Thanks for adding the adaptions to moves

I’ve been working on it for a year now and I’m not flat yet but I’m SO CLOSE 😂 probably half an inch lift compared to only my toes being in contact! Impressive stuff man thanks for the help

David. You’re amazing. Keep up the great content!

I used to deep squat and then shuffle run. It took so much energy but honestly was hilarious to do.

Love this kid

he looked like a daddy long legs dancing when he streched his knees😂

Could we get one of these for our knees?!?! Love the videos keep them coming!

Love your channel. ❤

If you grew up east of germany you did this more then sitting! Love the vid

His jeans are putting in work!

I have loose joints and lots of arthritis i can only do it with a wider stance. Thanks for showing me this isn't incorrect

Thank you so much im a catcher in baseball and have been looking for some ankle mobility exercises

Might as well do split lol, i thought this is beginner video.. well im not that stiff so im happy you include the next level

Hey dude I really love your videos and what you do, but I do have a little bit of a request. Could you possibly make a video on Imbalancements in the body? For example my left shoulder is slightly higher than my right, is there any way to fix something like that?

Thank you 💜💜💜

I watched this at half the speed to notice details and his drunk voice is hiiilarous!

Oh i needed this. I always wondered why i couldnt do that..... as a runner ida thought id have good ankle mobility but i guess not

My ankles have always had very poor mobility even with stretching. Having a wide stance was great advice it helps my ass get to grass for a decent range of motion

Do you have a video on how to do progress towards a pancake stretch? I cannot bend forward anywhere near what you do here. Thanks for the videos!

Advice for those with arthritis trying this? My knees hurt just watching this.

Please make one for getting rid of knock knees!!!...pleaseee...

I'm impressed by the squat AND it being done in jeans

This kid is amazing

Everything that I’ve seen so far is so easy, except for splits for the middle splits to be exact 😅

Folks, I’m here to tell you something fun. I was actually surprised to find out that deep squat heels down is kinda a “harder variation” of normal squat. Cause I grew up in Ukraine and PE is a mandatory subject for all students every year of school. And we all always do this deep squat not even knowing about other types of squats. We all can do it without any problem and lol you now imagine how shocked I was to find out that there are people unable to do this.

I broke my ankle 2 months ago so I'm finally starting to get some mobility back into the joint... I think I'll save this for later once I'm done with PT so I can go over and beyond the mobility I've gotten from PT!

One fun thing about discovering this channel is that I've found out I'm not quite as inflexible as I thought I was. I can easily deep squat, sit on my ankles, have good hip mobility and realistically I only have my hamstrings to worry about.

I was literally just thinking about your videos on how to do this Tysm i really needed this ☺️

Where should I start? What's the best exercises to get more flexible for beginners?

Your pancake stretch looks very different from mine. Mine usually involves a fork. :P

Good squatting, comrade! Approved by Professional Gopnik

Anyone else remember duck-walking for qualifications in the military?

So funny how we all have a different preset. I could always do this but can't do other things that other people can naturally do. Humanity is so diverse

I can do a deep squat just fine, it just burns the hell out of the front of my ankles when I hold it lol

Thanks!

Exactly what I needed to know. Thanks 🙏🏼

Congrats on 1M subs

Jean Claude Van Damme approved short 🖖

I sit this way every day😭 I do it instead of sitting crisscross

David I love your videos and I want to start doing some exercices to increase my flexibility. However, you have so many different videos that it feels like I should be stretching 24/7 :( is there like a daily routine we could do?

a was always wanted to be moveable like you, thank you for your content for great motivation

I've been debaiting doing stretches for a while because i'm very hypermobile ( 8/9 on the beighton scale ) and i feel like any more flexibility would be harmful for me but on the other hand i'd be able to freak out my friends haha

You're almost at 1 million subscribers! Any plans for reaching 1 million?

You are literally the best

The first calf stretch is what I' ve discretely done all my life while waiting for the green light🚦✨ During the quarantine, my 7 floors building steps were a blessing. I don' t gained weight but some gastrocnemius hypertrophy😅 🧛🏻‍♀️🖤

That move is surprisingly easy for me to do although my overall fitness and flexibility are quite abysmal.

Instructions unclear. Hips dislocated.

i can't do that anymore since i tore my meniscus. can't wait for the day when i can get back into that stretch.

'if you have a functioning body' welp, that's me out of the running!

This was fire

Hey David, I love your videos! I have a problem on my hamstrings and Achilles tendons. They are shortened and whenever I walk I usually support the tip of my foot instead of supporting my heel and then the tip. I can't even do a squad without putting some support on my heels. Whenever I try to stretch them I always get the feeling they'll break. So much tension and pain. Do you have any advice for me? Thank you so much, and stay flexy!

Bro's so flexy he avoids wearing jeans to not rip apart

Nice shirt!

The problem is weak adductors, not tight hamstrings, not tight hips, nor your adductors being tight, but weak adductors, horse stance is a great way to train them and you can also do them dynamically or do wider stance sqats and try to engage your glutes Another one is a side plank but raise the top leg on a chair(or your bed) and lift the bottom of the ground, do them with bent legs for 30 s and then when you progress do them with straight legs

The thing I'm most worried abt is injuring myself while doing these cuz it's a little hard for me to differentiate between pain and just working my muscles

Idk how but I was a catcher in baseball and I just was able to do this instantly

Every video I watch allows me to level up.

Thanks for thinking of those of us with fused ankles!

My favorite flexy video

I've been able to do this easily since I was a little kid, and I thought everyone could do this. Weirdly, I'm not actually that flexible. I can barely touch my toes and I can't even do half of the splits. But when I do this deep squat, there's no pain or even the slightest bit of resistance whatsoever. It's actually very comfortable.

thank god being asian atleast gave me this one privilege in life

Great video

Thank you for the ankle mobility tips! I’ve been trying to sit in a deep squat holding onto the rig at CrossFit so that I’m comfortable but without holding on to something / a counterweight it’s impossible

Good video thanks

Middle owww adductors scream whilst using my vocal cords😅 Nice progression to deep squat🎉🎉

My guy, in case you see this, please make a video (or link me one) about hip mobility, after a crash I had I can barely cross my legs for more than a few seconds, my hamstrings are killing me

Friend of mine once asked me to do deep squad, so i did. Heels on the ground. She was shocked. I did not know its hard to do :-D I doing whole life without any training.

I like your advice and will do these stretches but I'm older and need to go real slow. I've always wanted to do a split. I'm not even close to this level.

any ankle mobility tips for someone with duck feet? I can deep squat but it's harder to stay balanced lol

pancake stretch looks yummy ;)
