WOAH!!!! This really works. before watching video I could barely bend over and reach my ankles. By the end of the video (1st time watching) I could bend over and almost place my hands flat on the ground. WOW!

@appuser Жыл бұрын

My results were not quite that dramatic but similar! I could finally touch my toes after just following along. Keeping the back arched really pounds those hammies! I also wonder if minding the back and chest distracts the mind to enable a more intense stretch without reactive contraction/jerking.

@thersten Жыл бұрын

@@appuser instant results are not the goal. example: if you flex your quads for 10 seconds the hamstrings will relax and you will get a huge gain in ability to stretch the hamstring. But it won't last.

Thank you for showing that this is a long process and encouraging people to just stick with it even if they don't see results for quite some time.

What happened to your back Stefan? I am also really stiff and I have a bulging disc in my lower back. every time I try to do bent over movements like this, the disc ends up hitting a nerve or I get a bad back muscle spasm. I think my lower back has become incredibly weak over time and my hips, glutes, and hamstrings are extremely tight. are these exercises safe for me to do with a bulging disc? im hoping your situation is similar and you can guide me on what I can and can’t do

@stefanmckannon1634 2 жыл бұрын

@@Moretolife123 I would say definitely take it slow with any movements like this. As he said in the video, not everyone will be able to do this right away and you don't want to push a tender area too hard so if all you can manage is an inch be proud of that inch. Making sure to keep that arch in your back should help as well. And work on it incrementally every day, even if all you can do is just a little. I started with the squat position he shows in another video even though at the time I could hardly manage it without falling over but after about a month or so of doing it consistently I can get down pretty far. If your legs get as stiff as mine there's also a few videos on loosening the ankles as well as the hips without any sort of bending forward movement that has been helpful in conjunction with finding a good pair of barefoot style shoes that are passable for work shoes - the pain may be further up but foot and ankle support can help take a lot of the strain off the area you feel most effected(Yes, it all connects). Most of all, breathe and be patient because it really is a long process.

I used to dance professionally. I had full splits. Flexibility was never a problem. Now at age 71 and 30 years from my last dance class, arthritic knees that don’t bend all the way anymore without extreme pain and very tight hams, this progression felt good. It hurt, but it was that old good hurt. My extreme flexibility when young allowed me an injury free career. I was dumb to let it go. Hoping to regain some of it back. I am thinking it will be very beneficial as I continue to grow old!

I just watched one of your old videos and noticed that you're much more peaceful now than you were back then. Not that you were nervous in your old videos, not at all, but now you seem almost unnaturally calm. Is that due to being so in touch with your body? I have a theory that flexible people are naturally more calm because their bodies don't hold on to tension as much as an inflexible person does. I don't know if this is true or if it's me talking out my ass though. If you could give your thoughts on this it would be great!

This is pretty awesome. When I started weightlifting, I did it with a sort of bodybuilding approach; to me it was all about aesthetics; bigger chest and arms and stuff. From there on I switched to a new gym and learned to do bigger lifts, from a true powerlifting approach. That's when I really noticed how important mobility was to correctly perform many exercises that I had been doing wrong. Also, the stronger I got, the more stiff and slow I got, and I noticed this playing football. When I started working on my mobility, my lifts improved, I was less prone to pain and injury, and I got back a lot of my quickness. I wish that I had known about the importance of mobility for athletic performance from a younger age. Now I'm 31, and I do notice that I'm actually more athletic than I was when I was 21. It just leaves me wondering where I could have been athletically, had I focused more on mobility, rather than just strength, as a younger man. Anyway, thanks for these stretches, I think they will help me improve!

I have been doing this stretch routine for the past 1 month and I'm really progress with my flexibility! Well played guys!

I had a new experience with feeling the stretch and connection to my hammies. They are STIFF and I am greatful for your inspiration and sharing of information! When I am reborn first thing I need to do is to learn to walk again. And you are helping me on that journey! Aloha!

I came back to thank you! I have had tightness in my lower back for weeks now and was looking for something I could do at work with all my gear on to stretch it. I would usually just hang on my chin up bar after a leg workout but it never really totally fixed it...bridges didn't help either. this did! My whole hip structure is more loose and I can do little ones of these throughout the day! Again thank you!!

Great stretches! As a runner I get the tightest hamstrings so this was truly beneficial. Will keep up with the stretching! ❤

I'm an old man, 72, and my hamstrings are pretty tight. The hamstring routine I'm doing now has helped me some, but I've been on it for about a year plus, and I've seen very little improvement. I will try your workout. I'm subscribed. Thank you.

I've tried a ton of things, but this is the best hamstring stretching routine I've seen. Thank you.

Omg, these were the only exercises on the web i was ever able to accomplish without too much pain in years and they really worked. Thank you sooo much!

Recently experienced a slight MCL tear and a physical therapist friend recommended I stretch my hammies, thanks for the exercises!

Between this and Maverick the body weight warrior, I've changed my entire view on mobility. It's not about being burly and strong... but being able to actually LIVE your life. Thank you guys ✊🏾

Thanks for the tips, man. I've been into cycling for about a year. And the more I get into it, the more i began to realize that my hamstrings are the ones that's very lacking. I'll definitely try this out. Cheers!
