I just discovered you & your channel. I am 61. I love this and look forward to exploring all you have shared. Thank you!

I can Asian squat but I would tumble backwards, not able to bounce back to squat unless I fall on one side to get on all 4s. I think this exercise will help me to move from butt on the floor to squat to stand. My mother is 84. Despite her constant lecturing me on the importance of workout, her range of motion and muscle strength is pathetic. I don’t want to be like her; all talk, no action. Your exercises will save me from being a frozen mess in my old age.

Push ❤Load ❤Pull❤that’s a keeper

"It take time, take the time" true true. Thank you for these videos. Be consistent the name of game. I can get into the squat next step is really improving mobility. Keep up the great content 😊

This is a really great progression.

Crystal clear and a good break from my WFH laptop straight jacket :-) I really appreciate the weekly videos. Kudos.

I'm 58 and I can do this movement easily. It started a couple years back when I was determined to get into the cramped whitewater kayaks our family never used. But so much more to learn. I love this gentle approach. And your hanging video has inspired me to build attach a bar to a low beam in my house. THANK YOU ! I 'll do whatever i can to avoid becoming old and crippled. And for now , this enables me in modest outdoor adventures.

This is a great exercise and progression, thank you! I look forward to doing this and playing with these movements!

Thanks.

Thank you for wonderful instructions.

Thank you! Want to work on my ROM in this area more! Great timing.

I’ve seen this video a zillion times and today I understood and practiced “pushing the ground and lifting the butt” for the first time.

Perfect, instructions, Sir, hope your full patience for us online clients, i know your sacrifices, but don’t worry, it has and you will have in good return, if not from everyone, it will come from above 🙏🏼

Good common sense exercises that are functional and also help with flexibility/mobility. ❤

Thanks coach

This is one movement that has frustrated me for quite a while. Great that you have broken it down. (By the way, what are those jeans? - mine certainly wouldn't allow that movement...)

Thank You for showing us the missing link about how to get into a squat using the proper exercises to strengthen and mobilize our bodies.

Always good my friend and another mobility challenge to go after. Not to mention I need ankle mobility and strength. Thanks!

Excellent explanation. Thank you

Thanks Ryan for offering hope! I just finished Elements and was not able to walk into squat. So this video is appreciated for breaking it down and giving me some training wheels to work with before I give Elements another spin

I'm 3 months out from CMC Joint Trapeziectomy & Tendon Transfer on my left thumb. Still not allowed to put full weight on my hand. But, I will be using this as soon as I get clearance. I will do a good deed for someone else in exchange for your help in this process . 🙂

I can't move into the squat without lifting my heels, even if I follow this perfectly. Is that lack of ankle dorsiflexion ROM? Any tips or vids on this?

Hi, I recently broke my wrist. It's healed but I'm unable to do anything on my right hand. All push ups, pikes even planks are a pure struggle. Could you make a video on how to get back? If that's even possible. Or calisthenics is a lost cause for people with such defect...

Hi Ryan, I'm having difficulty in getting my feet shoulder width apart to work on the progressions in this video. Can you recommend a video to allow me to improve widening my feet to do the progressions. Tim

When I try these progressions I feel a lot of discomfort around my shins. Especially the more I load the legs. I can squat from standing but need to have my heels off the ground and a wide stance. What do you recommend?

What if I want to stand from squat without using my arms? How can I progress?

What hurts me the most are my wrists! Is it ok to use my knuckles to push myself up? I can do everything else and I’m 67!!!

I know that you already know this, but this American (Western) culture of power (that we see everywhere from John Wayne to Marvel's superheros) is very detrimental to those trying to learn any physical discipline. You have had your life experience (maybe good parents or even your own nature) but it is hard for young people this day to value consistency and form, over intensity and "shortcuts". I know it is natural for kids to be impatient but that is where the older and wiser enter to provide guidance. This whole "balls to the wall", no pain no gain BS is extremely good to sell to the immature, gullible and young. It should be a crime under law to misguide people into believing they can change their body in weeks. That they can perform an extremely difficult move in 30 days. Because yeah, maybe you can, but at what cost to your joints, ligaments or your CNS? But because it sells quickly (since we are on a consumerist capitalist society) that is what fitness gurus will try to produce. That is why you are a vital breath of fresh air. I wish I was your friend (so I could do something back for you) Thanks for being mine.

Feels awkward the first time you try it. Feels great later...

As always Ryan you have all my respect and gratitude for your way to explain how things can happen 🫶 I've read your caption till the end so you know, I'm going to to something nice for someone 😊 sharing your vibes 🙏☀️🪷🤍☯️🌿
