Unrelated to the video but I am curious to know if depressing the scapula is ever used for overhead movements like overhead press. Love the informative content. You're the best channel I have found for demonstrating and explaining these movements and giving sound advice for issues relating to them.
Hey Jordan, As a flat footed squatter, can you do an episode on the positions of your feet, what you're focusing on feet wise during your squat and knee tracking with respect to your flat feet positioning?
it might be placebo but i've been trying to arch my feet (your feet does have muscle) and my hips and knees feel more opened and stable. Not sure if there is a study on this but give it a try. Also Squat university may have something about why you should arch your feet even if you're flat footed
Thanks for this. When i do this exercise with the right leg on the chair, it seems to disturb something in my right hip/lower back area - a place where I usually feel some discomfort. I can still hold the plank but I can definitely sense some sort of imbalance/disturbance on the right hip/lower back area. The first time I did it i felt a sharp pain for a fraction of a second but it passed. No such imbalance on the left side. I'll just continue to strengthen the right side. Also, could you do a video on the multifidus muscle and how to address any issues associated with this & how to strengthen it? Thanks to much! Alternatively I'd appreciate if you direct me towards any other resources online :)
Jordon, I've been struggling with this for years. I have a torn rotator cuff and it hurts to put pressure on my shoulder joint in a side plank position. Do you have any alternative exercises? Thanks for your time.

Thanks for the explanation! Going to do this today!!
I do have groin pain. What do you think of adductor machines instead?

Gold thanks
Thanks for this!
I see you are a fellow Michigander. At least according to the pic (Renaissance Center) you have on the wall.
Sub squad getting hyped up
Since the upper and lower body are mirror images, would it be possible that the upper body be affected in the same way by abduction and adduction?

Does it matter whether the downside leg is slightly bent when it's not supporting anything?
no
Groin (adductor), the often neglected muscle.

How is this different from HIRD
Isn't this putting lateral stress on the knees ?
