    Hello Tim, I really want to share a movement which is a neck reset and most of all it feels amazing. Grab a pull up bar, walk your feet forward and keep your body in straight line. Your body should be diagonal in relation to the ground. Slowly and controlled lower your head back so that you look at the ceiling and then look towards your chest(its reverse head nods that works the neck flexors). For people whose height doesn't allow to be diagonal enough, they can put a stool under they feet. Please try it it, your whole body will relax. Also I am rocking daily now and It mayde my journey easier. Thank you for your influence.

      Original Strength Another great video! Which of your OS books contains a program or a set of programs for an overall body workout?
      Something for both a beginner and intermediate person?
      I have watched so many of your videos, some I pass on to my family, but I’d like to incorporate several of the exercises into a beneficial exercise workout, something that can be done at least 3 times a week! So I spend more time exercising than watching all your super videos!

    Thank you so much for this Tim. I get awful headaches that seem to start from my upper neck. I tried the chin tucks and boy did I feel it. Definitely going to be using this from now on 😎👍🏻

    Hi thanks for this movement. when I do it I feel pain in my lower back . is it good for me which means that my lower back is tight. waiting for an explanation please. many thanks

    • @OriginalStrengthSystem

      Hey Patrick. Maybe… So, try a few things: 1) Only move where you can without causing the pain. Pain free movement is good movement. So, you may need to reduce the range of motion. 2) Lift your legs in the air, pulling your knees closer to your chest so that your tailbone is off the floor - then do the exercises in this position. Does this cause pain? I hope this helps some.

    A quick question about something totally different - what's your view on as wheel rollouts, or the no equipment version of the exercise which is the Inchworm ?

    • @OriginalStrengthSystem
      @OriginalStrengthSystem  4 роки тому +1

      I like the ab wheel, it can be a great tool. I do like the inchworm and love stretched out lateral crawling to work the same areas. I think the no wheel route lends itself to more people and even offers less of a learning curve. But the wheel can definitely work the middle!

    How does this relate to the TV pose?

    • @OriginalStrengthSystem
      @OriginalStrengthSystem  3 роки тому +1

      We are working the other side of the coin here. TV pose hits extensors more - it can be used to work deep neck flexors on the front, but its way easier due to the position of the head in relation to gravity.

    I saw a variation of this where you do the chin tuck then roll to side flipping your arms over. What do you think?

    • @OriginalStrengthSystem
      @OriginalStrengthSystem  4 роки тому

      I have incorporated the tuck inside of some rolls yes. But, given the description you gave on another video, I think practicing this may go along ways for you.

    U are my babe. Thanks for this so much. Ive been overworking the suboccipitals and scms trying to do too much. Now i have eye strain and dizziness nd sore suboccipitals. Can u overdo these? Also im trying tongue to roof of mouth but I notice i have super tight muscles under my chin or hyoid bone area I think. How di u get the tongue to stay on roof without tensing?? Maybe my jaw or face is too long to do it?

    • @OriginalStrengthSystem
      @OriginalStrengthSystem  4 роки тому +1

      I really don’t think you can ever do the chin tucks. As for your tongue, just patience and practice. Just swallow and feel where your tongue naturally goes and try to keep it there when you can. Don’t stress about it though. It’s a process. You don’t have to get there today just know that you will get there.

      @@OriginalStrengthSystem So I have lots of questions/observations as you get me thinking. First off: you say forward head comes from lots of "hinging at the hips" while sitting, to move forward (part of it right) and my first question then is when you have to read and look down at books or wash dishes, do you want to hinge at the hips to come forward/down or round at the spine?? Something has to give, right? Right now, either affects me as I'm super tight. Secondly, if hinging at the hips causes tension on the neck, then in deadlifts, your head position is basically the same, so that would be reinforcing bad postures to hinge hip a lot throughout the day? (I know the glutes are different, I just mean in reference to the head/neck) Also, as I've been trying to stop hinging at the neck, I've been going the other extreme, of having the chin too tucked, thus causing tight SCM and Suboccipitals. But the suboccipitals get tense from looking up and/or down?? Thanks always for gettting my brain going over this stuff!

    Hi Tim, is it normal that when I do this I almost feel nauseous?
    I do have kidney disease and wonder if that's a factor??

    • @OriginalStrengthSystem
      @OriginalStrengthSystem  4 роки тому

      I wouldn’t say it was unusual, but I wouldn’t call it normal either. Sometimes head motions can be a lot for the nervous system to handle if the visual and vestibular systems aren’t playing well together. If that is the case here, it can get batter and maybe even go away. That said, we don’t like to move into pain or nausea, so let’s try reducing the range of motion, or just using the eyes (nodding or tucking the eyes without the head moving). If that is okay, we can try the eyes with the head, but in an even smaller range of motion. We want to move where we can without triggering the ill effect. I hope this helps some.
