@@johannesstephanusroos4969I hope you get doin better, you can still do some low impact stuff to hold onto your ROM but it isn't easy! easy does it and stay flexy!
We noticed that every podcast we've done that the MORNING ROUTINE is the most discussed part. 😅 I dunno what's up with Morning Routines, but that's why I started off with that before the introduction lol.
I didn't realize that Juji was such a good interviewer. He injects his own experience and thoughts when relevant, but doesn't run over or dominate the interview, always bringing it back on track and moving forward when it starts to veer but without being rigid. David is also a fantastic subject, but I'm still impressed. Excellent work!
So great that the emphasis is "Not Naturally Flexible". I'm no superhuman when it comes to flexibility, just more flexible than average American. Doing Judo and Jiu Jitsu it was constant that I had to tell people "NO I am not naturally flexible, I just got the bug back in middle school after doing some yoga with my mother". Just as regular exercise builds and maintains muscle, regular stretch improves and retains range of motion.
Before finding out about MovementbyDavid as well as KneesOverToesGuy, I was a total meathead with my training, didn't do stretched/full ROM exercises, never stretched, and didn't see the connection between my training style and issues/injuries constantly popping up. Now my training days include at least 3 sets of movements designed purely to stretch and work through a stretched position, and I do about 3-5min of stretching between and after sets. Besides having less issues/injuries, I've also been able to kick the bag higher and with less hip pain. I was also able to finish a Deadlift set with perfect form, something my hip/hamstring tightness never let me experience before. It'd be really cool to be able to do head kicks, axe kicks, both splits and get my arms behind my back, but I'm working towards making my hips and shoulders pain-free first. Of course, Juji also taught me that you can be a big guy and do martial arts and your mobility and speed won't take a hit, contrary to what hollywood shows, so it's cool that you guys are collaborating and agreeing on things I've discovered in recent years. Love you guys, look forward to whatever you have planned.
Stretching was always my favorite part of exercising, and while not super flexible I was better than most of my peers, so it was something to show off. I used to be able to do my splits (can't anymore) and I would flat palm my hand on the floor for toe-touches. My Throwing coach was also ridiculously impressed with my shoulder flexibility.
I was one of the people that watched while doing nothing healthy. Work was sitting at a desk, leisure was sitting at a desk. To shake things up I might sit at a table. I found Magnus Midtbo through Juji and now I climb 3 times a week.. something about climbing clicks with me in a way that the gym didn't, and since then I've lost a shit tonne of weight and owe it to Juji and colabs like these.
You know what got me started in training and tricking? Random clips of juji on a field awkwardly explaining flips. 😂 dont even know how i stumbled upon but but it changed the next 15 years of my life
damn!! hEDS mention!! it’s so clear to me as someone with this condition that david doesn’t have it because his movement is so clearly healthy and purposeful. he’s not just accidentally sliding his joints out of place! it’s inspiring to me as someone who has to be very careful all the time not to injure myself. i have severe chronic pain and doing his program on ganbaru has been so nice
I've always wanted to be flexible. I wasted ten years doing yoga trying to get flexible. But then I began stretching daily, following videos from gymnasts, dancers, martial arts, contortion. Sometimes long videos, sometimes five mins but at least something every day, or multiple times a day. Now at 39 years old I get shocked looks and comments at the gym when I stretch ( I'm not an attention seeker though so I get a bit embarrassed). I just love the feeling of being fluid.
I was multitasking while watching this and I when I looked up, I saw the top of the chair and thought it was his shoe. My immediate thought was that he was doing some stretch that's clearly impossible, but my brain didn't have enough time to disprove what I thought I was seeing. 10/10 would do again.
The last 2 videos have been eye opening in my health. I do a lot of cycling, as it’s my means of transportation. These stretches and workouts have been incorporated in my routine. So far my shoulders feel incredible! My legs and hamstrings have been much more loose as well. Keep doing what you do guys! Both of you are amazing inspirations! Would love to see some cycling videos!
This was such a great interview. Thank you both for making it happen. I really enjoyed hearing how David got into exercising, how he micro-stretched at work, and the parallels in methodology with bodybuilding. Also, the sweet spot of how much pain / discomfort is ideal for building flexibility- / strength- training. Both of you keep positive and stay flexy!
David's videos put me on the path to getting the splits back in December of last year. It was always something I wanted, and a thing I tried to accomplish before and failed. I'm now closer than ever, and I believe I can get there by Christmas of this year. Thanks David! Stay Flexy!
This was great! I haven’t stretched much lately and just listening to this podcast I started randomly stretching. Feeling great and I’ve worked out a load of new ways I can use the chairs in my conservatory to stretch with
This was great, I do this at my workplace. I've learned so many different things about the world researching during the down time between maintenance calls.
Movement by David has great tips! Also flexibilty microdose idea, hit and sit in a deep squat for 10 minutes a day. A few times a day, a few minutes each.
I'm here from the flexy dudes short with the big dude. Good content but I'm more blown away that some podcast people obsess over their recording room having foam walls and no echos and this dude is just in a giant weight room.
I discovered David a couple Weeks ago, also I just discovered Juji's Videos through Magnus' Video... ...Coincidence? I think NOT!!! You three should make a Video together ✌️💚
Doing that stretching in the warehouse, so cool... When I worked in a music warehouse, I use to do dive rolls, pullups on the product racks, carry speaker boxes overhead, cause yeah, between pick ups, there's not a whole lot to do. I probably got so much better at rolls from that job... My boss would drop paper work from his window into the warehouse n want me to dive roll while catching it! Fun times
I do believe being bigger in terms of muscles makes a bit harder some exercises or flexibility drills, but I am inclined to think that it's just a bit of a harder curve, not an impossibility. So keep doing stuff!!!
As a person who’s done alot of warehousing I have probably done millions of pull ups and dips off the forks of my forklift. Forks are like an axle shape so tons of grip strength as well lol
Juji, small technical note - you are really breathing into the mic; it is really noticeable when using the headphones. :) Aside from that, you are a presence - great podcast!
Pff, watch a single video about Toucans and youtube is like "Wooh! He has a new interest, I'm gonna spam his feed with Toucans for months even if he never watches another one ever again!"
3:20 the most flexible person in the world (alexey goloborodko) who has the most extreme hip extension you’ll ever see in your life (leg bends more than 90° backwards at the hip) claims he doesn’t have EDS or any other hypermobillity disorder and that he’s never experience pain or had an injury
Not sure. I almost feel like it would actually add instability to certain joints being that flexible. A lot of flexible people still have chronic pain because of that.
Being flexible isn't a weakness, if you're scared of getting hurt just train muscle strength. I can't think of anything that would be bad to train flexibility
@bigbird4481 Most people's bodies don't work that way. You're either flexible or you are strong. Very few can do both, and the ones that can become world class athletes. Dr Stuart McGill talks a lot about that. Especially for people with chronic pain. That the answer isn't to add more flexibility. It's to add strength and rigidity so you have stability in your joints.
As someone that has put dozens of minutes a day and still failed to get middle splits after several months... Juji and David feel a bit out of touch, because they are too fit? Lol
28:00 ... you where 1000% over the average when you started this as you already did basically all pilates stuff there was as you said urself :) ... pretty sure the average cant even touch their toes, which you most likely could all the time even when you where climbing with 13/14/15 years old
Very interesting to analyze Onomatopoeicaly what people say when they are saying the truth. You notice a pattern in the sounds they use (and want to use, via words) to make themselves understood. That sound pattern, that melody, is independent of nationality and spoken language which is very interesting to me. "we all speak the same language" when you boil it down to vocal sounds ("a e i o u" , as opposed to consonants sounds "gjtflkbcv"). Especially if your trying to speak in truth. It's very comforting to recognize that some people do exhibit the "pattern of truth" in sound. Very nice to see and listen to 2 humans speaking the truth to each other, has a whole different melody than what we (unfortunately) normally see in life.
David is cool, but I think he does a disservice to people with actually substantial flexibility limitations when he says he was not naturally flexible. I have been stretching since 2008, since 2018 with main focus, 2-3hours of it per day. As much as Juji or david but also Stopped doing weighted deadlifts and squats too. My hip & hamstring muscles are so tight I have difficultly just walking around and tying shoe laces. After all these years I cannot flex to a smaller angle than 90° on a pancake stretch and even that is painful. Hamstrings are so tight they contributed to a spine injury, and make living with that spine injury a real struggle. This probably counts as dystonia but many people have dystonia. My point is that there are people with flexibility limitations you cannot imagine, those far worse than me even. In addition to muscle shortness/chronic tightness I also have severe CAM and Pincer FAI in BOTH hips. And a completely delaminated socket on one side.
Stay Flexy!
I have been flexed

Amazing interview, so insightful.
Really enjoyed this video, love movement by david
The starting advice is something the fitness industry missed a lot. Just put the work in and don’t stress about what’s optimal
Do you guys have any stretching or flexibility goals?
Oversplits!
Both Splits, sitting in the Asian squat as a rest position, sitting up and touching my toes
Van Damme splits
Been working on the middle split for the last year and a half. I'm almost there! I can hit it by this summer
i have, but i also just hate training for flexibility and i don't want to reach them as much as i don't want to train it...
Great interview. Thanks
Very interesting talk I loved every second of it especially all of the positivity between you two.
Awesome video as always

Why is flexibility past normal human movement patterns a trait people like? I prefer a tight, solid joint that performs the movements I need.
Not sure. I almost feel like it would actually add instability to certain joints being that flexible. A lot of flexible people still have chronic pain because of that.
