    7:06 - Why Isometric Positions?
    By mastering these isometric positions, you will target specific muscle groups effectively, promoting muscle endurance and enhancing overall muscle tone. Additionally, isometric exercises can be gentler on joints compared to dynamic movements, making them suitable for individuals recovering from injury or those with joint issues. Incorporating isometric positions into a workout routine can contribute to better posture, increased core strength, and improved overall functional fitness. Have you mastered these seven positions?

    Here's how I'd work on these positions as a beginner...
    Squat: Spend daily time in a squat. Elevate the heels if needed. 90/90 position and calf stretching will help!
    Support hold: Begin with toes on the ground. Really feel the shoulders and shoulder blades drive down. Pick the toes up when you’re ready. Start with 3 sets of 10 seconds, then add more time gradually.
    Pike: Favorite approach is practicing hip hinging with an extended lower back to put the hamstrings on stretch. Combine this with using a light weight to pull you deeper into a forward fold (jefferson curl).
    Hang: Simply Hang frequently. Use feet on the ground for assistance. Build up time.
    Bridge: Feet elevated bridge is the way to go! Also practicing the bridge on a wall to unload the shoulders (not pictured in video, sorry). The bridge will improve with hip flexor and shoulder stretching. Watch this ua-cam.com/video/n3wBTNKxQpM/v-deo.html
    Handstand: Start with placing your feet on a box and pushing your shoulders over the hands. Then graduate to the wall, first with your back to the wall. Then graduate to chest facing the wall. Build up time and confidence. ua-cam.com/video/1XJ2zR5tE0I/v-deo.html
    Horse Stance: Start with a wide stand and upright torso. Spread the knees wide. Overtime, lower yourself. 90/90 position and butterfly stretching will greatly help.
    Have fun!

    I used to be able to do all of these while training for my kenpo black belt. Then I fell while pregnant, landed in splits, tore my pelvis into three separate pieces, and had to have an emergency C-section...now my kid is 14 and wanting to learn how to build strength for lifelong health, and we're both working toward being able to do these. Thank you for the visual reminder--it helps to have something to show him what to do next when I'm behind him in a progression!

    Lovely, working on those positions already a lot, also thanks to your (EVERYDAY) natural mobility video.
    I can do them all but I am working mainly on extending my hanging duration, doing the handstand freely and I want to be able to jump up from my back bridge (and also unlocking the Macaco).
    I add Lunge to Kneeling Pistol to this routine, because I heared that it helps to unlock the split.

    @TheBoogeymanStories 3 місяці тому +1

    Hello! I'm writing this comment here if someone sees this comment and can help me. To briefly narrate my current experience, I started to train one and a half years ago, and I managed to have a good progression on pull-ups, starting from 2 pull-ups to 5 pull-ups with 15kg on me. During this entire period, I trained 5 days a week, each group worked only once in the form of a bro-split.
    The problem is that I don't feel the program I made is adequate for what I want. I think I waste a lot of time working and isolating muscle parts.
    I'm interested in becoming as functional as possible, I'm not interested in aesthetics, but in gaining strength as a person, and as an athlete. For example, I think it helps me more to do kettlebell swings or suitcase carry than to isolate my biceps through biceps curls. The problem is that I don't know what exercises to do to manage to work the whole body, as I said with exercises as compound as possible, and how to structure my training by days, what exercises, how many repetitions, etc.
    If someone could give me some advice from his perspective, it would be very well received.

    • @balazsbrankovics2996
      @balazsbrankovics2996 3 місяці тому +1

      Sometimes I find that the bast way to improve a skill is to do some related strength training. Here think of wrists, shoulders and core (abs and spine).
      I started training for the handstand 2 years ago, but basically none of those areas were at a sufficient level. A month of dedicated training could have gotten me were I am now. Just by adding shoulder press (10kg per arm) and deadlifts (20kg). For rep ranges 8-12. So with modest weights you can shore up weak spots fairly quickly. I relaunched my journey and still need to build time on my wrists, but already have moments of balance while kicking up on week 2. Have fun experimenting ;)

    I am software engineer and spend most of my time seating.
    I can perform all of these without any issues.
    Probably due to the fact that as a kid was doing gymnastics and was in swimming team, and then I maintained it through my life.
    As for squat I seat in full squat for at least an hour a day when working from home.
    It was said in the video and I agree that most potent position is bridge.
    I do 50-100 bridge press ups daily and this is amazing exercise.
    Once you advance enough I also recommend to start doing walking in bridge position.

      @@Strengthside Yeah. But the best part is in the gym when everyone are looking at you like you are some freak.
      My weights are not any exceptional, by any means.
      But when I am doing my other stuff like stretching and flexibility, everyone are looking at me like I am some alien.
      I even had few situations where random people came to me and asked if I can train them.
      I said sure, but when I started to showing them progressions, they were always like :"It's boring" , "It hurts" (yest stretches hurt and if you don't have pain next day you are not doing them right).
      I was always replying yes but so is lifting weights.
      It always strikes me how people focusing on weights and muscle aspects, but not many pays attention to mobility and flexibility.
      This is what you are loosing most when you are ageing.
      I am happy as I was able to help one person at least.
      He is my friend and was very stiff and in pain.
      I gave him book "Anatomy trains", and also few clues, and now he says that I literally saved his life.
      I am also recommending your channel to people, but most are saying that you are "freaks" and no "normal" human being is able to do this thing.
      How crooked our society is I am asking myself.
      These are all normal human being movements that people should be going.
      Same with physique standards.
      If you are natural and ask someone, they will tell you, you are not working out.
      Also "normal" work is when people work from 9-5 and take mortgage for 30 years.
      I really appreciate what you guys are doing, and I believe if people would apply your training and tips their life would be lot better.

    really cool videos and ideas, but getting money from LMNT or AG1 to recommend their b******t products makes no sense. you tell me to go barefoot and be closer to nature etc and then you get your money by being supported by such sponsors? Nevertheless, the videos and communicated ideas are the thing I am a subscriber. Hopefully, you can find better brands that support you.
