Thank you, Tom! I have been dealing with a muscular imbalance between my left and right side, and I am now seeing results in both flexibility and strength gains. Happy Holidays, man! Keep being the Tom Bombadil of fitness!
I really like that advanced pec stretch, where you put your hand upside down against the wall. This position really gives me the pec stretch i was needing. Thanks!
I think the three different positions for that first pec stretch may be a game-changer for me. I've been doing the shoulder height one for ages with no improvement. The lower one feels okay, but the high one really feels tight, so that may be just what I was missing. (I'm doing the others also, although that biceps stretch is going to take some real work on my right arm.) Thanks for the routine that addresses my problem!
Our Simplistic Mobility Method and Stability Builder would be the best combo to make sure you’re hitting all the essentials for both your shoulders and hips 😄
stoooop! starting from the 20th second, the muscle begins to relax during stretching.. this also contradicts the basis of "no static stretching before exercises". isn't it?
From a mobility point you want to lengthen before you strengthen, totally fine. You wouldn’t do long held static stretches before throwing exercises for example but if it’s to improve range and positioning it’s fine 😄
Really helpful your videos - didnt know i had a tight bicep till now - when i do this evercise i have a -5 on both sides 😮 so have to do much work here - was asking me if i cant get the hand external totaled on the wall if there is a more beginner version - or just start with the fingers maybe, Thanks for the content - great 🎉
Tom, forgive me, this is a little off topic but I want to see you do the curly girl method for your hair. Squish to condish, apply gel with praying hands and scrunch, then don't touch it till it's dry. Then ... Scrunch out the crunch. Do itttttt
What is the difference between the 2 strength exercises? Are they both targeting the same thing? And if so, could we just do banded rows while standing instead of using a bench and dumbbell?
Hi Tom, I have a question, and sorry in advance because it's a bit long, and my english is very broken. I am a snowboarder and a snowboarding instructor. I also like to hike the mountain in summer. Some years ago, I started to feel an intense pain in my left knee, very localized, but only when I walked down a steep path, even the slightest steepness, I felt so much pain that I could barely make a step. But if I turned and walked uphill, nothing, no pain at all. It was so localized that I was convinced that it was a broken meniscus. I almost could visualize the bones rubbing eachother. But as I said, it was very strange because walking uphill, I felt no pain at all. They made a magnetic ressonance and there was nothing. The meniscus were perfect, and everything was right. I spent an hour with a very good traumathologist who showed me the images in 3D and explained me everything, and he said it was a muscular problem, but the sensation, indeed, was like a broken cartilague. He said it was not something very common but also not so rare, but I've never met anyone with this problem. The thing is that I had like 20 physiotherapy sessions, with electro and massages, and it worked. I almost couldn't believe it. But it re appears from time to time. And only walking (never skinning while splitboarding or anything related to snowboarding), and only downhill. Have you ever heard of something like this, and how could I prevent it? Because let me tell you something, when I hike up the mountain, like for 4 hours, and the time I come back down, that pain appears, it's a big big problem because it's very intense. So if you know something about this, it would be so great. Thank you for your time, and again, sorry for the long comment and the awful english. PS: Maybe a bit of necessary info: I¡m goofy footed, that means the left foot is the back foot. We tend to charge lots of weight on the rear leg, mostly in deep powder, but also in groomers, we use the rear leg a lot. And again, it's my left knee. And as I said, I didn't feel any muscular pain, it was very very inside the knee joint.
You could start with assessing your hips side to side with the 90/90 rotations! Any imbalances there will affect your knee: ua-cam.com/video/rTfh-fZYVcM/v-deo.htmlsi=bMggf9L1Mt9Rj1vp Or you can check out our program the Simplistic Mobility Method which would assess & rebalance your whole body 😁 tommorrison.uk/products/the-simplistic-mobility-method
TOM, when i touch my toes my mid and upper back releases in a series of clicks and cracks, its a great releif but clearly means im not holding myself properly, could you do a vid about upper back posture exercises please?
Wow I have internally rotated shoulders and I was told that I need to train my rear delts and back muscles. Never knew that having tight pec muscles are the cause of my internally rotated shoulders
@@TomMorrison thank you i found it i apiciate 🙂 and this is more to activate muscles but is thre some super activitu to stretch it ? or this with band is also stretching ?
Wont this happen again unless you strengthen your back muscles to keep them in a longer position? I've often heard you work your back muscles 2x's more than your front muscles. Is that true?
I was 27 stone now 15, lost it in about a year been racked with chronic pain all over ever since, i get recurring pain deep in my left groin and cant flex the ftl on the outside of my left hip, any advice for unlocking it?
During the bicep stretch I get a very intense feeling in my middle and index finger and anterior shoulder. Almost like its pulling on a nerve, this is also on the side on which the shoulder is the most internally rotated. Should I still keep at it?
Try sticking with it, but don't push as far! Go to the edge of that feeling and take a big deep breath, holding there for a while You can work on your shoulders a little too with these! ua-cam.com/video/yUQ-yYzdI8k/v-deo.htmlsi=yOu_e_ONPPCK67fn
tom important question: for around 3 years now my thoracic spine on the chest is cracking if i lean back with my upper body (hands over head are straight and stretched). Why is that? I am doing regulary fitness for over 10 years. i don't get it.
Just gas being released usually, if it’s not sore I wouldn’t worry, it would be good to add more resisted rotation into your programming, the banded push pull video would be a good one to check out! 😄
I teach mobility & movement, not fitness. My training I do for fun rather than a 6 pack, I still enjoy ice cream with my kids! A flat stomach isn't the only sign of being fit/strong 💪
I’m definitely hunched over and have a hard time progressing in bench, because I’m shoulder dominant and have a hard time actually using my pecs. So my shoulders are looking fabulous from benching 🫣 Would these exercises help?
Many thanks Tom and Jenny.
Great stuff.
Now 67, still training…etc. Your guidance will keep me going longer.
Amazing! Love to hear that!!
Awesome sauce! I love how you keep updating these videos over the years. Just keep getting better and better!
Oh yeah even if we can explain it 5% better it’s worth redoing!
Thanks Tom for explaining why we do certain movements without hurting ourselves
You’re very welcome!!
Thank you, Tom! I have been dealing with a muscular imbalance between my left and right side, and I am now seeing results in both flexibility and strength gains.
Happy Holidays, man! Keep being the Tom Bombadil of fitness!
Thanks! I needed this reminder. Pecs have been super tight and forgot about this routine. ❤
I really like that advanced pec stretch, where you put your hand upside down against the wall. This position really gives me the pec stretch i was needing. Thanks!
Thanks!
THANKS Jenny 🙌🙏
Love how you changed speeds (slowed down) to give a clear & concise summary of how to implement this into a routine. Love all the vids though!
You're so welcome!
Thanks for everything you teach! great kindness and super fun!
You’re so welcome! We love to share this stuff!
Oooh...I’ve been rotating the shoulder in because it’s made me feel a stretch in the biceps. Nice one, guys.
Amazing video as always, so glad I bought the beginners program!
Awesome! Yes the zeniths and elbow withdrawal position from SMM are so good to add regularly 😄
THANK YOU!!! This would be a definite better method than having to get ims all the time from physio. I'm committed!
You're so welcome!
Thank you for the fantastic instructions, gonna try that tomorrow
Let us know how you get on!
I need this!!! Thanks 👍
It’s really common to see people struggling with! The exercises are awesome to be doing regularly 😄
I think the three different positions for that first pec stretch may be a game-changer for me. I've been doing the shoulder height one for ages with no improvement.

Awesome! Yes always good to aim for different angles!
great advice as always 👍
Thanks!! 😄
Fantastic! Just what I need right now! 👍💪😁
very helpful thank you!
You're welcome!
Love this video! Can you please do a shoulder programme? (pretty please!!)

Thanks for the content - great 🎉
awesome!! Yeah start off just the fingers on the wall, or, try with your hand lower down!
Hi Tom! Do you have any videos on stretches for tight lats?
We do! Just search “Tom morrison lat” and they should pop up! Can’t post usable links here annoyingly! Sorry
Thanks for the video! Could deadhangs and pull ups also help as bonus exercises? 😊
Yeah they can be!
just these stretches make my tense arm feel so much better. tnx :) saved me 50 eur
Excellent!
Tom, forgive me, this is a little off topic but I want to see you do the curly girl method for your hair. Squish to condish, apply gel with praying hands and scrunch, then don't touch it till it's dry. Then ... Scrunch out the crunch. Do itttttt
Maybe I'll try it!
Could you please make a video about herniated neck disk and tell us how to fix this problem?
If you head over to our blog at tommorrison.uk and search “back” 😄
What is the difference between the 2 strength exercises? Are they both targeting the same thing? And if so, could we just do banded rows while standing instead of using a bench and dumbbell?
Bands are great but if you truly want to make things strong you need a weight element too
Jenny is low key jacked😂👌. Is Jenny better than Tom?🤣
Yep! In every way 🙌
But Tom’s got the lion sex bomb alpha mane!
Much respect Jenny.
Bet she trains like a savage

Search our zenith rotations video! Will be a game changer for you!!
Wow I have internally rotated shoulders and I was told that I need to train my rear delts and back muscles. Never knew that having tight pec muscles are the cause of my internally rotated shoulders
If only one side is limited would you do more work\sets on it?
Absolutely yeah! Tailor it so that you feel like you’ve made a difference
do you have any ezcersise for upper back almost shoulders area ?
Yes search our resistance bands playlist for the banded push pull video 😄
@@TomMorrison thank you i found it i apiciate 🙂 and this is more to activate muscles but is thre some super activitu to stretch it ? or this with band is also stretching ?
I hope my bicep tendonitis will go away. Especially my right arm. The pecs there are also tight
Wont this happen again unless you strengthen your back muscles to keep them in a longer position? I've often heard you work your back muscles 2x's more than your front muscles. Is that true?
Wouldn’t put a direct ratio on it really but yes it’s good to aim for pulling often 😄
Awesome, thanks for the info
I was 27 stone now 15, lost it in about a year been racked with chronic pain all over ever since, i get recurring pain deep in my left groin and cant flex the ftl on the outside of my left hip, any advice for unlocking it?
This would be a good one to start with!

Well ... for me anyways
Thanks so much!
Just one cookbook shokupan
How come you come across as a fitness freak but you have a little belly? Not an attack, just keen to know why that is?
I teach mobility & movement, not fitness. My training I do for fun rather than a 6 pack, I still enjoy ice cream with my kids! A flat stomach isn't the only sign of being fit/strong 💪
❤
That was….painfully delicious. Dang. Who knew I was that tight!! Thank you!
Al Yankovic looks good for his age!
He covers everything except TKRs
We can add it to the list 💪
She's cute, you're cute too Mr. Morrison!
I’m definitely hunched over and have a hard time progressing in bench, because I’m shoulder dominant and have a hard time actually using my pecs. So my shoulders are looking fabulous from benching 🫣 Would these exercises help?
Yes these would be really good to add, try dumbbell bench also as you can hit different angles
