This guy is saving lives. My life has improved tenfold. Not even joking. My posture is fixed. My breathing is so much better. I'm getting stronger. This guy needs to be known by more people. Elliott deserves more recognition. He just seems like he genuinely cares about people. Will never stop watching his videos. Thanks Elliott!!!!!
S1mmonns dude i actually did just 1 rep of his deep breathing exersize and i feel invincible now idk what happens if i get bioengeneric stool holly fcuk]
Fil4o234 I don't know about others but when I did the stool exercise I started looking allot sexier. My abdominals were stretching like mad. I ever even KNEW how tight my belly was. This information is gold. Do those bicep stretches and pec stretches as well.
This is accurate AF- I can speak from personal experience. I had a major life trauma that I felt powerless over and bam, I curled myself into a ball and now have neck issues, occipital neuralgia, numbness in both arms and face. I have been trying to fix it all and the more I let go ofd the trauma the better this is getting.
Elliott i just want you to know that this video really did ring true with me and something horrific that happened in my life. My family were taken away from me, the police put bail conditions on us for over 2 years until i finally got in crown court and overcame most probably the biggest and hardest obstacle i will ever encounter in my life, and was found not guilty after being accused of abusing my child of 5 months at the time. During this period, what you describe regarding the solar plexus especially, but everything else too, i could not change anything, i was researching, providing anything i could to my solicitors and barristers, but for 19 months until i got in court i could not change a single thing, i felt like i was shutting down, dying as you describe. I have just started to work on my physical fitness, been at it for 8 weeks now and am already feeling the changes and my energy returning, however the other day a personal trainer told me i had a kyphosis and i remembered watching some of your videos and then found this. I've found your other videos, the stretches and exercises you provide to help fix my kyphosis and the neck exercises and cervical extenders etc. are really good, i will update this in another 6 - 8 weeks and let you know my progress, but this is a deep felt thankyou, for your caring nature and for your down to earth and brilliant articulation of how you feel psychologically and emotionally will affect you physically, as i've said, what i've been through was extremely heavy, but the information you've provided here has really expressed in words what I knew intuitively and in turn has given me so much more understanding and thus better application and I have no doubts that the progress i will make now will, like others say, be ten fold compared to what it was without you and this video. What you are saying is absolutely 110% correct, although some would most likely disagree because they don't like their beliefs being challenged so will be in denial. Thankyou so much for your videos, I will spread this information to others as I'm working towards becoming a personal trainer myself and want to educate myself or as you say, become the strongest version of myself as much as I can to help others.
I LOVE Elliott Hulse. He is so frank and plainly spoken, you can see right through him, and it's easy to see he's an amazing human being. He so truly wants to help people, and especially men, EVEN though he's a strong feminist. What a great role model, you rule Elliott!
This was amazing! I'm a musician, I recently hurt my left shoulder by playing guitar for long periods of time. It's quite painful. I was searching for a way to rehabilitate my shoulder is how I came across your channel. You gave me a lot to think about brother, thank you!
This is a brilliant piece of work. You can have all the sport science and body mechanics theory you want but it will never be able to explain the absolute connection between our emotions and physique like your simple metaphors do. Amazing stuff and you are the type of person who really makes a difference to the people in this world.
You are part of my life and the journey of becoming a stronger version of myself. I read ebooks, i listen to audiobooks, i go to school and have gr8 grades, and when I seek answers, I'm here.
This is good! It's not often that "exercise teachers" acknowledge or even know that there is much more going on in the body than just the physical aspect. The emotional, psychological and spiritual aspects are a big part of how we move and hold our body. (And the development of disease) Thank-you for sharing this, it's important !!!
I've been learning this the hard way over the past few months, as a ballet student (where posture is the basis of everything) with dwindling self confidence. Thanks for this video, you've elaborated on things for me. It's been a vicious cycle of fear of failure, and bad classes caused by bad posture, so then more negative feelings and fear caused by bad classes and then more bad posture! Recently things have changed for the better and my confidence is returning. You're an angel!
You and Cambell fitness are definitly the best fitness channels on youtube!!!!!!!! i feel like im actually learning when i watch you two, without all the fillers and bs.
You have a very clear filter on your senses. You see things for the most part the way they are, not the way you think they are. This shows in your speaking. Your speech flows, unimpeded by lies and distortions. If we can look at the world without interfering too much, we also can have the knowledge you have. Hard work and honesty with ourselves and others is all it takes. We need more people with a holistic approach to health in the medical system. Thanks Elliot
I have Pectus Carinatum so having a good posture has always haunted me. But now that i now how much having a bad posture sucks, i'm really glad you (Elliot) made a video about the topic.
aretwo deetwo it doesnt just suck its veeery unhealthy. apparantly sitting down for just 3 hours a day can be as risky as smoking!, imagine bad posture all day. Try your best man, your posture improves your character in time - I talk from experience!
Right on Elliot! Awesome talk. I train young guys in broadcast animation so I dig your earnest clarity. When young guys start working with me I see them go from slumpy (literally slumped over mutes) to confident and able to talk or ask questions and listen very quickly as they get better and learn more. I never thought or imagined the nerve bundles and the mental space as you describe but I will be from now on. Thanks so much for your insight. Luke
Thank you! Not debunking anything he's saying but confidence and expression is not gonna fix internal rotation and tight upper back. I wish he linked these other videos he's referring to that he referenced about posture that would've made more sense.
When we breathe normally, passively, the solar plexus pushes out on inhale and inward on exhale as the diaphragm and organs lower and raise. But maybe you've experimented and found that you can also do the opposite pattern, though in an effortful way, actively drawing the stomach in and upward on inhale (baring the ribcage at the costal margin like we bare our teeth and increasnig kyphosis) and pushing the belly out and upward and leaning the ribcage backward on exhale (increasing lordosis and dropping the shoulder blades). Here is the short cut I found to get into a strong but relaxed and open posture from a weak closed one: allow the solar plexus to only push forward. Take a passive inhale, but support the exhale with an active lengthening and forward/upward movement of the solar plexus. Allow the whole body to adjust to each phase in order to keep the solar plexus as high and forward as possible. Allow the skull and pelvis to follow by keeping forward/upward intention in the tongue/jaw and anogenital region respectively. Experiment with the opposite pattern as well, active inhale and passive exhale with backward/upward intention. Ultimately it seems to get us to the same place on the outside, but through a different path, although the intention, the internal state feels different, like yang as opposed to yin. Perhaps the first path is more parasympathetic and opens us to experience and to others whereas the second path is more sympathetic and prepares us for exertion and defense, and being able to dynamically move from one to the other throughout the day to meet the demands of the moment is the healthiest way.
the part where you said about communicating with your dad really switched the light on for me that part of me is constantly tense and it's because of that. great video dude
like you said before just tightening your abs or core will help. Iv had bad posture for a long time just like my dad i think it runs in the family but it may be some of them things in your vidoe like you mentioned since im a student and apprentice im always wrong lol so i dont express myself good points and students and people we all live in a world in front of us so we lean forward naturally
I watched this like 4 years ago and I was really negative and I thought was a load of horse shit... And here I am years later watching it again and I'm listening to what he's saying about the nerve vortexes and it makes so much more sense now that I'm willing to listen. Just like he said in the video! Thanks Elliot you're awesome.
I just want to say thank you. I can't find the words for describing the amazing work you have done with this channel. I just hope any force in the universe rewards you for it in any form. And fuck the gains, you have the gift of awareness and also the gift for transmiting it trough the words. Big hug from Argentina
Thanks so much for this video Elliott. I´ve got beaten down emotionally most part of my life by my parents, my friends, my bosses at work. And the result is that i've got a very bad posture and low self confidence. I didn't really understand why until i saw this video. No one has ever told me whats wrong and i couldn't figure out that myself. I've experienced more self confidence just by watching this video than i've ever done before. I'm always gonna apply what i've learned today.Thanks Elliott
The people who tell you the truth just because they care about you are the best. This guy doesn't wanna sell you anything; he wants to help. These videos kick ass.
The whole body is one and you have to feel good to have good posture. You have to be 100% honest with yourself and and ask how do i want my posture, how does it feel, i am what i feel - my body/energy in the space of energy in motion/the universe. what is my intention, my goal, my fears, the truth of all things that are, not limited to language. Everything is energy, when not limited to the filter of language. It is your response or choice to be what you are. Be content with your body because you are comfortable in your skin. If you don't like your body or environment then you are automatically not going to express yourself righteously. If you cannot stand straight then don't, do what feels good and be honest with yourself. Your body is still you so your posture and movements have to feel good physically and non physically. Don't give in to the stories of physical and non physical that you play in your head, just let everything express itself, but you have to listen without judgement.
This is great. He described chakras in terms of anatomy and physiology without ever saying the word "chakra"! He's very knowledgeable; keep it up Elliot! I love this stuff!
As a chiropractor who brings up these issues with people, I am very happy that you are discussing these things. Great, Great Great!!! I love the explanations with the dog's neck hair, or the cobra for protection!!! I will be sharing this video on my website!!
Dan Urech its not the best think try to sleep on flat surface with no pillow for a week see if it works good for you if it doesnt just go back to normal
I like your take on correcting posture. I work with my patients on correcting their posture every day and looking at it from a more spiritual perspective is a necessary component to helping them with correcting their posture, for sure.
Just have to say, despite the fact that this is perhaps the least bodybuilding-relevant fitness video I've seen, it was the most interesting and thought-provoking. Seriously great job!
LOL guys. Yes my back is weak I'm currently lifting to try to improve back strength. I seriously have a hard time doing modified dead lifts because my upper back hurts that bad to bend down too far. Also big boobs= pain from bras as well from pressure around the ribcage/back and shoulder straps. Sometimes I hate being a girl. U_U
This actually exaplains why hearing can seem less sensitive and induce tinnitus! along with weak voice and hunched posture, really makes sense. thanks you bro
The amount of will and effort you put into your videos is what makes them so informative. For me it was the big picture that you get from posture period. Thanks big time.
The value of things like Yoga (breathing exercises etc.) make more sense now too. It's refreshing to see someone else who can appreciate both sides of the equation, physical and psychological.
Just excellent...spot on and why yoga and longevity are correlated as well as why meditation and chakra balancing etc work... Good on u for adding a non traditional dimension to your audience ... Very impressive individual...thanks
Very well rounded lecture on Posture. It can be an easy fix but to maintain means balance in all areas of life. And the thing that sucks for many is that it is induced at childhood by people demeaning others or using force then making back and shoulders either Over stimulated and angry tense or from my own experience and seeing others is the rounded forward shoulders and slightly or major rounded back. I had low level back roundness as pre puberty kid, I still struggle keeping my collar relaxed
Elliot, you open my mind and make me curious. I appreciate what you've done, passing your knowledge along to others, making us all stronger. Keep up the great work!
Omg dude wow. This video made me smile so much. You're very talented at explaining yourself and getting your point across. I had never seen any of your videos before but came across this one b/c I need to fix my posture b/c of a terrible pinching pain in my cervical spine. I totally agree with your theory and it makes a lot of sense. This is probably why (most) children have such great posture because they're so carefree and happy. Thank you for this, and I am now going to make a conscious effort to catch myself at all times and correct my thinking and my expression so as to allow my body to become properly aligned. Thanks again man. God bless.
dude i thought about this yesterday and wanted to look it up, its not surprising that you are the one that confirmed it for me you only speak the truth
solar plexus - noun - Also called celiac plexus. Anatomy . a network of nerves situated at the upper part of the abdomen, behind the stomach and in front of the aorta. A nerve path is called a "dermatome", as well the traps are controlled by CN XI, but the pain and Proprioception (our own feeling) are through Cervical 3-4.
Hey Elliot, I always said to myself that our god is our frequency. im 22 and i played australian nrl for 12 years, havnt played for 10 years and Now im playing again in o 14. Your videos give me attention deficit order and i look up to as a coach bro, your changing my life for the better, Your breathing technique video were you squat and breath made so much mental and physical changes, I do it everyday now and lol man my eyes are lighting up and situations are coming clearer.
Elliot you're a cool guy but for someone who talks about the physical and psychological connections you use alot of unconvenient words that triggers things we don't need when we look for motivational content! I undertand this is a 3 years ago video but trust me you still do that.
*inconvenient* bro. He did drag on and I skipped forward a little around that time but he got to a point where he started talking about self-esteem, the middle "nerve vortex" and I realized I felt uneasy cause I know I've been beating myself too much and he connected that vortex to our breathing pattern and I was like holy shit, I didn't even notice my breathing slow. He talks and looks like he thinks about a lot of random stuff, but I see the
Brady Holland That was not beating him down, he just keeps singing that song with everything starts from the brain over and over while he doesn't stop bringing shitty images in his speech! I'm not in the best of moods right now but he is an empath, he knows what i mean.
Elliott for f sake man yu are scaring me with how right you are about everything in regards my life posture inside and out. its all true as fuuuck. cheers. cannot stop watching this stuff. ty
Yo, Elliott!!!!! You are a huge inspiration and have given me so much knowledge! I find myself digging deeper into your subjects and spreading this knowledge to willing participants in my nice as well as forwarding your videos to them to think for themselves after hearing what you have to say about what ails them! Keep up the great work!!
great elliot. this is an important point, that i am beginning to integrate into my practice. I am currently investigating the roles of exhaustion in posture. keep up your great work.
This makes so much sense. A thought kinda popped into my head when I watched this. You're postures not going to get fixed by simple exercises and what not because having the hunched posture came in naturally probably because of the way you were feeling, so it has to fix itself naturally by feeling confident and happy. Kind of like how a dog wags it's tail when it sees its owner, if you saw an angry dog and tried wagging it's tail back and forth, it's not going to become instantly happy.
I see you're familiar with the concept of Chakras Elliott. Although they're usually taught as a spiritual, energetic thing, you translated it into our modern knowledge/perspective and adapted it to our daily lives and problems. Kudos to you!
Great info Elliot! I''m very thankful o be able to listen to someone like you with so much different knowledge.
11 років тому
WoW, thank you very much! The way you are showing the relation between Chakras and physical body is really great. I would like to know if you have some tips and tricks about how to block those external events in your life which are affecting your chakras so your body. Thank you very much!
My anatomy book calls them a plexus (or plexi for plural). Yours are a little anatomically dubious but I get what you're saying. The four plexi are: cervical plexus (C1-C5) brachial plexus (C5-T1) Lumbar Plexus (L1-L4) and Sacral Plexus (L4 to S4). None of the nerves in the Brachial plexus innervate the heart. The symptoms of numbness in the left arm during a myocardial infarction are due to loss of blood flow to the arm, not because of a nervous connection. =)
You really helped me to understand some causes of uncomfortable posture in myself and others close to me, could be directly related to uncomfortable thoughts .Thank you
this is an amaaaaaazing video, i love it you head to the root of the problem which is sooooooooooooooooo true, sometimes i see an athletic person yet with curved shoulders, and yes they hav e big problems with family. thank you thank you so much for the effort of this video to trying to help others. God bless you
What did you study and/or what courses did you take to obtain this knowledge? I'd love to have the knowledge you have to better my lifestyle. Thanks buddy
You must have known, you used the proper colours. I find it amazing that as a previously self-proclaimed atheist, and current follower of Hindu and Buddhist philosophies , how many examples of the fundamentals of these religions I am cosmically drawn to. When I first found your videos, Mr. Hulse, I was astounded to find a profound intellectual who, like myself, was also into physical fitness and philosophical Idealism. It was upon realizing the spiritual parallel that we share that I knew fate.
easily my favorite video you have made! although iv disagreed with other videos such as your view on education and what not, this video is spot on. just as much as i value education, i value the connection between emotions and your body! this is in fact a great video and makes a lot of sense for those who are in tune with their thoughts and bodies. keep it up!
Good video but, for the benefit of your viewers, some clarifications 1. A 'nerve' is called a 'tract' in the brain and spinal cord (CNS),but both are a bundle of neurons in a common connective tissue sheath, it's a matter of location 2. A bundle of nerves in the peripheral nervous system is called a 'plexus' not a 'vortex' 3. There is no anatomical 'solar plexus' 4. It's the 'trapezius' not 'trapezoid' 5. Upper traps are controlled by the 11th Cranial Nerve, not by the cervical spinal nerves
In that drop its not just the scare gotten from the drop There's also the storm of other emotions that come with it, Such as being up in the air waiting for the drop is anxious and activates the heart vortexes ,etc,etc One drop is such an experience because of all the different emotions we feel besides the drop The fear to go on, the courage to go on, the anxiety of being so high, the fear of falling, etc A roller coaster ride is so interactive because it is a combination of many vortexes or bundle of feelings
Wow I've been watching over two hours of your videos and learned so much thanks. I really like the FOUR EXERCISES I NEED TO GROW STRONGER AND HOW TO LOSE BELLY FAT FOREVER!!! I just want to break 80 in my golf game and I'm on my way thanks again. GO RAYS.....
I think this was an awesome video. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us and for acknowledging the full spectrum of the physical experience when trying to help us all become stronger. You are awesome. Keep doing what you are doing. There are many of us listening. :)
This guy is saving lives. My life has improved tenfold. Not even joking. My posture is fixed. My breathing is so much better. I'm getting stronger. This guy needs to be known by more people. Elliott deserves more recognition. He just seems like he genuinely cares about people. Will never stop watching his videos. Thanks Elliott!!!!!
I am struggling with my breathing this is what I need to see!!!
S1mmonns dude i actually did just 1 rep of his deep breathing exersize and i feel invincible now idk what happens if i get bioengeneric stool holly fcuk]
Fil4o234 I don't know about others but when I did the stool exercise I started looking allot sexier. My abdominals were stretching like mad. I ever even KNEW how tight my belly was. This information is gold. Do those bicep stretches and pec stretches as well.
will do
make sure
He just broke down chakras and relationship in between ultimate and conventional truth. Elliot being truth. Thank u very much.
This is accurate AF- I can speak from personal experience. I had a major life trauma that I felt powerless over and bam, I curled myself into a ball and now have neck issues, occipital neuralgia, numbness in both arms and face. I have been trying to fix it all and the more I let go ofd the trauma the better this is getting.
I keep saying this and I can’t say it enough: God bless you Elliot. I have come to see you as a father figure. Thank you for what you do.
As someone who worked in medical research for years, Elliott, I thank you for combining body, mind, and spirit so well. It's refreshing.
Elliott i just want you to know that this video really did ring true with me and something horrific that happened in my life.

Its update time bro
hey do the belly vacuum.. it helps allot. i had enterior pelvic tilt and now its totally gone.
kajo709 can you post a link for the belly breathing video u did. I also have apt
I LOVE Elliott Hulse. He is so frank and plainly spoken, you can see right through him, and it's easy to see he's an amazing human being. He so truly wants to help people, and especially men, EVEN though he's a strong feminist. What a great role model, you rule Elliott!

Following the paths of the Chakras... Interesting how old knowledge can still teach us.
This is a brilliant piece of work. You can have all the sport science and body mechanics theory you want but it will never be able to explain the absolute connection between our emotions and physique like your simple metaphors do. Amazing stuff and you are the type of person who really makes a difference to the people in this world.
may you be blessed for this TRUTH! WOW what you're discussing is ABSOLUTELY TRUE!
You are part of my life and the journey of becoming a stronger version of myself. I read ebooks, i listen to audiobooks, i go to school and have gr8 grades, and when I seek answers, I'm here.

You're an angel!
vortexes basically you're referring to the chakras
So true! I just noticed ... take my like)
yep same colours. :) wonder if that was on purpose
Nope hes referring incorrectly to plexuses,not vortex.
You and Cambell fitness are definitly the best fitness channels on youtube!!!!!!!! i feel like im actually learning when i watch you two, without all the fillers and bs.
He made rap look bad is like 5 seconds. Aimed right at the heart.
Excellent, intelligent and down-to-earth explanations. Keep up your teaching, you have a gift!
When is the posture part of the video
You have a very clear filter on your senses. You see things for the most part the way they are, not the way you think they are. This shows in your speaking. Your speech flows, unimpeded by lies and distortions. If we can look at the world without interfering too much, we also can have the knowledge you have. Hard work and honesty with ourselves and others is all it takes. We need more people with a holistic approach to health in the medical system. Thanks Elliot
I have Pectus Carinatum so having a good posture has always haunted me. But now that i now how much having a bad posture sucks, i'm really glad you (Elliot) made a video about the topic.
me too man. It's no fun when dealing with posture to have PC. hang in there bro. Just keep fighting
Tayler Cole I got it too, if you workout ppl complement your chest gains ;)
aretwo deetwo it doesnt just suck its veeery unhealthy. apparantly sitting down for just 3 hours a day can be as risky as smoking!, imagine bad posture all day. Try your best man, your posture improves your character in time - I talk from experience!
Right on Elliot! Awesome talk. I train young guys in broadcast animation so I dig your earnest clarity.
When young guys start working with me I see them go from slumpy (literally slumped over mutes) to confident and able to talk or ask questions and listen very quickly as they get better and learn more.
I never thought or imagined the nerve bundles and the mental space as you describe but I will be from now on. Thanks so much for your insight.

16:51 quick overview of what need to be stretched physically

you need a TED talk :P

No one has ever told me whats wrong and i couldn't figure out that myself. I've experienced more self confidence just by watching this video than i've ever done before.

Looks just like the 7 chakras...
It is.

This is great. He described chakras in terms of anatomy and physiology without ever saying the word "chakra"! He's very knowledgeable; keep it up Elliot! I love this stuff!
I just found this 2017, but I love knowledgeable people who aren't too smart to help others thanks Eliot!
snow violet ... what? You said that people who help other aren’t smart?
As a chiropractor who brings up these issues with people, I am very happy that you are discussing these things. Great, Great Great!!! I love the explanations with the dog's neck hair, or the cobra for protection!!! I will be sharing this video on my website!!
is sleeping on a couch bad for posture?
Dan Urech its not the best think try to sleep on flat surface with no pillow for a week see if it works good for you if it doesnt just go back to normal
it depends HOW you sleep on that couch
For 'point' of the Video go to 11:55..
Save 18 mins of your life :- emotion drives posture; healthy mind = healthy body. No tips on how to get the health mind !
A classic Eliot throw back video.
Geniuse man!

This dude is amazing.. Has so much knowledge on problems we can all relate to, and he always seems to have the answer..
so essentially chakras? or nah?
+wendyisafarmer they are basically the same thing - we just call them something else..
I like your take on correcting posture. I work with my patients on correcting their posture every day and looking at it from a more spiritual perspective is a necessary component to helping them with correcting their posture, for sure.
I like humble, down to the Earth Elliott more than the "I am king, you are my army" Elliott
Do you think he has an inflated ego lately?
I can see how you get that off him, however I kinda see him like "philosopher to pupil" lately
Exactly!
Just have to say, despite the fact that this is perhaps the least bodybuilding-relevant fitness video I've seen, it was the most interesting and thought-provoking. Seriously great job!
Having boobs doesn't help either, I have constant pain around my shoulder blades because of them :-/
LOL guys. Yes my back is weak I'm currently lifting to try to improve back strength. I seriously have a hard time doing modified dead lifts because my upper back hurts that bad to bend down too far. Also big boobs= pain from bras as well from pressure around the ribcage/back and shoulder straps. Sometimes I hate being a girl. U_U
samsonpker This sure made me giggle! :D
samsonpker Stinky UK You laugh but I saw this happen at the gym...
Alex C. Blimey?! I think I'd rather get myself a good sports bra to hold my UU otherwise it could get a bit messy! lol
I had the same problem. But in the army you wear sport bras so it's not anymore bad for me 😊
This actually exaplains why hearing can seem less sensitive and induce tinnitus! along with weak voice and hunched posture, really makes sense. thanks you bro
10:20 that escalated quickly
Yeah that was unexpected XD
you could also hear "if you see a sexy chicken.." (maybe cause I'm French, my ears r doing weird stuff ahah)
The amount of will and effort you put into your videos is what makes them so informative. For me it was the big picture that you get from posture period. Thanks big time.
His voice is much deeper now...
Different state of emotional expression than other videos. He’s in an excited state here. Typically, he’s more calm.
The value of things like Yoga (breathing exercises etc.) make more sense now too. It's refreshing to see someone else who can appreciate both sides of the equation, physical and psychological.
really interesting take on the whole thing.
Those bundles look like chakras
***** you are spot on mister/miss
***** +1 sir
Thanks, I'm a girl btw
Exactly what I thought!
***** yet another hijack of the vast Ancient Indian Knowledge !! :)
Just excellent...spot on and why yoga and longevity are correlated as well as why meditation and chakra balancing etc work... Good on u for adding a non traditional dimension to your audience ... Very impressive individual...thanks
12:45 instantly reminded me of Wu-Tang Clan
Very well rounded lecture on Posture. It can be an easy fix but to maintain means balance in all areas of life. And the thing that sucks for many is that it is induced at childhood by people demeaning others or using force then making back and shoulders either Over stimulated and angry tense or from my own experience and seeing others is the rounded forward shoulders and slightly or major rounded back. I had low level back roundness as pre puberty kid, I still struggle keeping my collar relaxed
He really just used some bassnectar in his intro? Thumbs up just for that.
You're well rounded, versatile.. I'm a big fan of your work, that's what I look into myself, your a big help
This man is a genius!!!
Awesome. Thank you so much.
You're beyond handsome !!
Elliot, you open my mind and make me curious. I appreciate what you've done, passing your knowledge along to others, making us all stronger. Keep up the great work!
I just bursted out laughing when he said trapezoid, not sure if he meant to say that or not.
he said trapezius, traps.
Richard Williams I just watched it. 9:12 He definitely said trapezoid.
speedygreenie yeah, you are right, i thought it was about another part of vid.
I'm going to call traps trapezoids now on lol xD
oh no! he made one mistake!
Omg dude wow. This video made me smile so much. You're very talented at explaining yourself and getting your point across. I had never seen any of your videos before but came across this one b/c I need to fix my posture b/c of a terrible pinching pain in my cervical spine. I totally agree with your theory and it makes a lot of sense. This is probably why (most) children have such great posture because they're so carefree and happy. Thank you for this, and I am now going to make a conscious effort to catch myself at all times and correct my thinking and my expression so as to allow my body to become properly aligned. Thanks again man. God bless.
vortex / bundles / chakras
dude i thought about this yesterday and wanted to look it up, its not surprising that you are the one that confirmed it for me you only speak the truth
Hold up... did anyone else notice the intro "Bass head" song by nectar? I just respect you 10X.. much love
solar plexus - noun - Also called celiac plexus. Anatomy . a network of nerves situated at the upper part of the abdomen, behind the stomach and in front of the aorta.
A nerve path is called a "dermatome", as well the traps are controlled by CN XI, but the pain and Proprioception (our own feeling) are through Cervical 3-4.
Those bundles are actually called Ganglia. "Vortexes" are like some yoga-chakra bullshit
Ok, you might be right, but come on!! He is just trying to help us :)
All love, god
Hey Elliot, I always said to myself that our god is our frequency.
im 22 and i played australian nrl for 12 years, havnt played for 10 years and Now im playing again in o 14. Your videos give me attention deficit order and i look up to as a coach bro, your changing my life for the better, Your breathing technique video were you squat and breath made so much mental and physical changes, I do it everyday now and lol man my eyes are lighting up and situations are coming clearer.
Elliot you're a cool guy but for someone who talks about the physical and psychological connections you use alot of unconvenient words that triggers things we don't need when we look for motivational content! I undertand this is a 3 years ago video but trust me you still do that.
*inconvenient* bro. He did drag on and I skipped forward a little around that time but he got to a point where he started talking about self-esteem, the middle "nerve vortex" and I realized I felt uneasy cause I know I've been beating myself too much and he connected that vortex to our breathing pattern and I was like holy shit, I didn't even notice my breathing slow. He talks and looks like he thinks about a lot of random stuff, but I see the
the connections
Some words were a little far-fetched but are we gonna waste time beating each other down or what?
Brady Holland That was not beating him down, he just keeps singing that song with everything starts from the brain over and over while he doesn't stop bringing shitty images in his speech! I'm not in the best of moods right now but he is an empath, he knows what i mean.
Andrei Hourani Why are you seeking motivation from him?
Elliott for f sake man yu are scaring me with how right you are about everything in regards my life posture inside and out. its all true as fuuuck. cheers. cannot stop watching this stuff. ty
I came here for better posture not your 4th grade bro science on the nervous system.
OH no! A whole eighteen minutes of your busy life!
BRO FUXKEN SCIENCE!!!! NOT ONLY ONE VIDEO, ALL HIS VIDEOS ARE LIKE THIS!! ALL BS
BROOOOSCIENCE!!!
I'm in 3rd grade and I have great posture.
Goldwinger12 your guys posture probably fucked cause you've got stick stuck far up your arse...
Yo, Elliott!!!!! You are a huge inspiration and have given me so much knowledge! I find myself digging deeper into your subjects and spreading this knowledge to willing participants in my nice as well as forwarding your videos to them to think for themselves after hearing what you have to say about what ails them! Keep up the great work!!
great elliot. this is an important point, that i am beginning to integrate into my practice. I am currently investigating the roles of exhaustion in posture. keep up your great work.
This makes so much sense. A thought kinda popped into my head when I watched this. You're postures not going to get fixed by simple exercises and what not because having the hunched posture came in naturally probably because of the way you were feeling, so it has to fix itself naturally by feeling confident and happy. Kind of like how a dog wags it's tail when it sees its owner, if you saw an angry dog and tried wagging it's tail back and forth, it's not going to become instantly happy.
Amazing!! I really appreciate the knowledge you teach, is complete, mind, body, soul.
I see you're familiar with the concept of Chakras Elliott. Although they're usually taught as a spiritual, energetic thing, you translated it into our modern knowledge/perspective and adapted it to our daily lives and problems. Kudos to you!
Great info Elliot! I''m very thankful o be able to listen to someone like you with so much different knowledge.
WoW, thank you very much! The way you are showing the relation between Chakras and physical body is really great. I would like to know if you have some tips and tricks about how to block those external events in your life which are affecting your chakras so your body. Thank you very much!
you're really intelligent and i respect your attitude towards the spiritual side of fitness
I enjoyed your video Elliott! Thank You for the taking the time to make such an informative video, I'm subscribing to you!
My anatomy book calls them a plexus (or plexi for plural). Yours are a little anatomically dubious but I get what you're saying. The four plexi are: cervical plexus (C1-C5) brachial plexus (C5-T1) Lumbar Plexus (L1-L4) and Sacral Plexus (L4 to S4). None of the nerves in the Brachial plexus innervate the heart. The symptoms of numbness in the left arm during a myocardial infarction are due to loss of blood flow to the arm, not because of a nervous connection. =)
an excellent and deeper explanation towards natures understanding!!! Thumbs Up!!!
You really helped me to understand some causes of uncomfortable posture in myself and others close to me, could be directly related to uncomfortable thoughts .Thank you
this is an amaaaaaazing video, i love it you head to the root of the problem which is sooooooooooooooooo true, sometimes i see an athletic person yet with curved shoulders, and yes they hav e big problems with family. thank you thank you so much for the effort of this video to trying to help others. God bless you
What did you study and/or what courses did you take to obtain this knowledge? I'd love to have the knowledge you have to better my lifestyle. Thanks buddy
You must have known, you used the proper colours. I find it amazing that as a previously self-proclaimed atheist, and current follower of Hindu and Buddhist philosophies , how many examples of the fundamentals of these religions I am cosmically drawn to. When I first found your videos, Mr. Hulse, I was astounded to find a profound intellectual who, like myself, was also into physical fitness and philosophical Idealism. It was upon realizing the spiritual parallel that we share that I knew fate.
easily my favorite video you have made! although iv disagreed with other videos such as your view on education and what not, this video is spot on. just as much as i value education, i value the connection between emotions and your body! this is in fact a great video and makes a lot of sense for those who are in tune with their thoughts and bodies. keep it up!
Finally ,someone who understands that the mind, body , and spirit have to be connected for us to be able reach our potentials.
Good video but, for the benefit of your viewers, some clarifications
1. A 'nerve' is called a 'tract' in the brain and spinal cord (CNS),but both are a bundle of neurons in a common connective tissue sheath, it's a matter of location
2. A bundle of nerves in the peripheral nervous system is called a 'plexus' not a 'vortex'
3. There is no anatomical 'solar plexus'
4. It's the 'trapezius' not 'trapezoid'
5. Upper traps are controlled by the 11th Cranial Nerve, not by the cervical spinal nerves
U keep bringing me wisdom throughout all of ur videos. thank u man
I love the way you explain things, it's so clear. How did you manage to not confuse me with all that information?
he's low key teaching how to clear the chakra points . good stuff bro
In that drop its not just the scare gotten from the drop
There's also the storm of other emotions that come with it,
Such as being up in the air waiting for the drop is anxious and activates the heart vortexes ,etc,etc
One drop is such an experience because of all the different emotions we feel besides the drop
The fear to go on, the courage to go on, the anxiety of being so high, the fear of falling, etc
A roller coaster ride is so interactive because it is a combination of many vortexes or bundle of feelings
Nice video elliot! Loved all the info you gave us!
Wow I've been watching over two hours of your videos and learned so much thanks.
I really like the FOUR EXERCISES I NEED TO GROW STRONGER AND HOW TO LOSE BELLY FAT FOREVER!!!
I just want to break 80 in my golf game and I'm on my way thanks again.
GO RAYS.....
I think this was an awesome video. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us and for acknowledging the full spectrum of the physical experience when trying to help us all become stronger. You are awesome. Keep doing what you are doing. There are many of us listening. :)
Elliott this is amazing bro! Thank you for taking the time to make this.
