Seriously underrated channel, I look forward to watching your recognition bloom. I like the mix of short and long form, I’d like to see a little more long form, maybe with a touch more detail? Keep up the great work 💪

42yrs old no trainer has ever properly helped me get down into a real squat! This gentleman just told me it's my hips I did the good morning stretches & Im already 100% better than before🥳! Everybody else says its your ankles or some crazy BS workout for your hips! Godbless this boy!!!!

This is the best kind of person. His knowledge is a side note.

I thought this channel couldn’t get any better but then the ducks showed up, and now I’m obsessed 🤩😍🤩😍

I love your videos so much. But the birds at the end, I literally melted!🫠😅

Funny story, I didn't know its called deep squat. Here in the Philippines this is just a normal sit down position, we only do this if there's no chair or any platform to sit on, my foreigner friend was surprise on how long I can stay in that position.

You know why I love you? You just spread it out there, for the people who know what to do, and for those that are still searching. You give answers man. I love you.❤

As a dancer trying to reach my full potential I’m flexiblity I seriously appreciate this account and will be creating my at home routine with al the tips

Getting up to check the ankles: huh no that's real easy Getting into position to check the hips, lowering my body like 2 inches: *all air leaving my lungs * yep it's def the hips 💀💀

I will hit like even before I watch the video. You’re my go to every time. Peace and blessing every time.

one of your first subscribers bro, I've seen all your vids up to now and i followed all what you said word by word,I'm satisfied with how much progress i made, thanks for making amazing content bro keep it up you'll be much more recognized soon

I always do seated good mornings while on the toilet. I never knew it was beneficial for my mobility, i always thought it was just a random quirk. Turns out i never skipped mobility day after all

Wild that this video popped up. I’ve been practicing my deep squats and find balance issues. This is exactly what i needed to help with that. I had the feeling my ankles and hips were just lacking the proper mobility needed to perform the movement and this confirms it. Thank you

Thank you so much for breaking this down and explaining how to correct it. Good job!

Omg I couldn't do a yogi squat during my yoga session. Even with blocks I felt I wasn't doing it right. I KZfaqd how to do a proper yogi squat and this short video came up. Omg it helped me understand. Turns out the problem is my ankles and knees. With the shin stretch and good mornings I saw a difference when i tried the yogi squat. Makes sense now why I get shin splits when I run. I'm happy I learned this about my body in my 30s and get it closer to function properly before it's too late. Thank you.

Why does my knee always crack when I deep squat?? 😭😭

Nice 🦆

“Wait can some people not do tha- DUCK LITTLE DUCKS DUCK DUCK DUCK”

I've been run-training on my own for years. I fell in love with the Jacob's Ladder because I couldn't do Squats without pain or my ankles immediately moving up. I thought maybe I trained my body weight to move up or forward and would use foam mats under my heels to keep going. Last week, I "gave up" squats with the thought: "idk how to fix this, I'm just going to give up squats". Your channel popped up today with this video. I got up and can barely stretch my ankles with the Stretches you suggested "if it's your ankles". I am so happy. You just helped alter my entire fitness journey. I can imagine years down the road thinking "If only I had done some research.. or listened to that man.." if i hadnt just tried the stretches you suggested and kept scrolling. My part is that I tried your Stretches. Your part is making this knowledge available to me. We are amazing. I appreciate you so so much♡ Thank you♡

Bro, my ankles LITERALLY do not bend more than maybe 2-3 degrees upwards. Like, it doesn't even really hurt to try and force it up, it just DOESN'T do it. It's like it's completely blocked.

If anybody is interested in hypertrophy, a deeper squatting movement is also going to maximize knee flexion and therefore quad growth

I'm totally flexible enough to squat. No problem. Just my belly getting in the way. So I open squat with legs at 90°. That works fine, always has. I'm almost 50. I've noticed recently that I'm beginning to be less flexible than I used to be. This channel and a couple of others (specialised in old age and prevention) really help. Now I stretch different things a few times in the day, and I put on my shoes and socks while balancing on one leg. Unless I'm standing at the top of the staircase. No point risking that. But I'm getting better, even after just a few weeks. Thanks for all you do.

This was super helpful. Now I know it’s my hips and I’ll be working them daily now. Thank you

I'm Slav so never had a problem doing it, it's in my genes

You taught me how to squat! Ive never been able to hold a squat for long because it hurts so much, but now i can squat for long 💪!

Oh perfect find for my recent squat video. Heel is lifting. Knee pain is the one that is present. Now looking for next video.

Wait you OWN DUCKS??? That's such a fun cameo

Hey David 👋🏾, I always watch your videos and shorts and I would like to say that you never mentioned over weight individuals and how your videos can help them, I'm 150 kg in weight and as hard as it was your videos helped me to go from 176 to this 150 and still going down 💪🏾.. if you mentioned that in your videos and counted for people like me I think you will attract "and help" alot of over weight people.

This is literally my big problem that I didn't know how to approach. Thank you for the great video!

Duck duck. Love your videos!

Deep squats have always been an issue for me, even if I am somewhat flexible -- I’ll be trying these to see if it gets better , I love your channel ! ❤

All I could say is, I'm loving your channel. Thank you!!

Great first video with a proper solution - hips for me

OMG I THINK ITS MY HIPS! No but for real tho I love your videos and have helped and motivated me to get my legs in the shape they need to be in. Thank you!

You the man, greetings from Chile

after a couple good mornings with a kettlebell i was able to do a deep squat better than i have ever been able to before thank you!

Clear diagnosis method, 👍👍

I can always learn some new stuff watching your video

Love ❤️ your videos... Gosh 😆 I know our phones spies us... Cuz it's so coincidental that I'm exchanging my brute strength for flexibility and I talk in Spanish about this with my friends... And KZfaq start showing me your videos!!! What's the meaning of this!!!??? THANK YOU!!

It’s always the knees for me. Can’t wait for the next vid

I must admit, I love these shorts the most. This channel, the most too. Stay flexy.

Your videos are always great! Congratulations!

As an indonesian its so easy and we do it everyday since 3 years old

I am simple. I see duck. I smile

You got cool points for the ducklings 👍

Dude they gave me a survey and asked if this was a fun video. It's not supposed to be fun. It's uplifting empowering and important. Not every good thing is fun. It's good information. I value it. But it's like asking if church was exciting. No. It was relaxing nurturing and it gave me rest. One of the best experiences of my life. Not necessarily exciting though. You do good work. I'm a fan.

Those ducks are cute as hell. I can already do deep squats but the video was still really good

Never had any problems with deep squat .. reguardless, Love you video, thanks.

thank you so much im gonna start right away

It's amazing that i carry all the problems

You are amazing and give such great educational info. Thank you for changing so many lives. I look forward to the next video discussing the knees. I desperately need to strengthen my knees. Hard as im such a big guy.

I was not at all able to do the seated good mornings 😅 Time to get to work!

As a basketball player, I have sprained both of my ankles several times before, I went to check with a lot of doctors, they said that there's something forming around my ankles that I cannot lift them enough for my knees to go over toes during squats.

Duckies❤😂 Thank you for the squat tips. Mine is pretty good but my ankles do get stiff

These videos are awesome!

Mahn you helped me in the all Universe... 😊😚

that was really useful information. thankyou!

This helps I have hip and knee trouble thanks

I was about 13 when i was learning to do a deep squat, and it gave me unbearable knee pain. Fortunately it would go away very quick so i just kept doing it until it stopped coming back, lol. At that time i had no idea about mobility stretching or anything of that sort.

That's some awesome insights, many thanks for sharing such amazing videos, god bless you 🙏🏻🥰

Thanks! I've never gotten an exercise like that last one that felt like it actually helped strain my back (in a good way). I went to the doctor because I felt like that part of my back was less bendy/stretchy and they literally told me to curl up (which didn't strain anything or take any effort and just felt like I was wasting time, especially since I couldn't do anything else).

This is super helpful 😃🙌

I love the ducks!

It's both my ankles and hips. My knees are ok thankfully.

Bro thank you so much these stretches helped me get deeper on my squat

Lol those ducks caught me off guard

All of them. It’s all of them 💀

Wow! I love your stuff! Any chance you got some stuff for Piriformis and Psoas?

The Ducks! Awesome!

thanks for the info david !

Stay flexy with the ducks got me

I started Physical therapy to strengthen my core and start to build muscle and mobility. I need to lose a lot of weight as I am approaching 300 due to medical issues and I found out building muscles would help me do that. In PT we started to work on squats, and everyone was amazed at how strong I actually am, and that at almost 300 pounds how close to a deep squat, I can do. They call the deep squat just a full squat, and a 90-degree squat just a half squat. I have a little more work to do before I can do the full squat, but I am so close. Mostly just working on proper form.

you're the best!!

No one's talking about the ducklings!!!! Adorbs

Thank you for finally covering that it could be other things besides ankles, that was driving me crazy that you weren't saying it

You are the man 🙌

I’ve managed to improve ankle dorsiflexion to the point I can now deep squat but my back rounds over more than what I’d like, so seated good morning it is. 👍 Thanks 🦆

I think it's both for me. I can only squat on a smith machine. At home if I try to do a regular air squat i cannot do it without holding onto something.

What if I have all 😂! Thank you so much, will start today ! 🎉

Excellent info, thank you

I can’t do it without my heels lifting so I’m doing this!

Uhhh, I think I got a little of both… My knees don’t go forward AND my back is rounding … I’ll try your tips

You are absolutely amazing to me

Seated Good mornings are my shit. Good to know Flex Doc likes it.

It's definitely my ankles. My ankles and wrists are super inflexible, but I'm working on it

Nice content Pretty helpful 👍

Thank you!!!

You rock man!

It's probably both my ankles and hips. Need to train this.

Now i finally know, it's my hip :)

I have Hypermobility and my old PT didn’t understand why this was a position/motion I wanted to be able to do safely

This is so good to know. I can't squat to save my life, and have NO idea why

Thank you

dude sometimes I love you. been doing the knee bend to the over for position and it was working but I see think one of these is my true issue.... I'm gonna add all three for a few weeks and see if I can 'true squat' cheers

I needed that !

As someone who has walked on their tiptoes most of their life, I really struggle to do a shallow squat with my heels on the ground, let alone a deep one 😅

yeah its hard for me having pronated flat feet my whole life i gotta squat with my knees outward i love your videos tho man always learn something that i try to implement in my routine

Thanks just working on squat

Oohhh love the shoes!! Love all your videos too! Thank you

Ducks!! (Also, this was very helpful, thank you.)
