      If I may be so bold, I got a tear (not entirely teared) on my supraspinatus and I'm only allowed to train triceps, biceps and legs. What would you advise to do? 6 months rest? My doctor doesn't know much about these injuries.

      When squatting, sometimes I bounce at the bottom, sometimes I pause at the bottom, sometimes I pause once, and again halfway through. But I don't know why I'm doing each one, or how to program it to meet certain goals. Love some advice related to time-under-tension and stretch-shortening cycles. Love your channel, I've learned so much. Thanks!

      I'd like a good video clearing up on what to do about tight hamstrings when deadlifting/squatting.
      I get that hump in my lumbar when getting into position, because my hamstrings needs a good bit of mobility (been in anterior pelvic tilt for long). Arching gets me there, but then my insomniac glutes won't really work.
      Anyhow, awesome channel, keep up the good work!

    Started doing these back in the 70's a couple times a week as a warm-up for deadlifts, rows and squats. Yes and just because they make my back feel good after doing them. Going to be 65 soon and still love doing these. Plus I superset these with single arm farmer carries as jus a core workout.
    P.S. have never had a lower back issue even when I was younger and D.Ling and squatting heavy. We trained a lot without belts until we got into weight that pushed us to 3 - 4 rep range.

    Dear squat guy . I have had bad patellar tendinitis for decades whenever I ran or jumped or tried to put any pressure on it . I spent a lot of time attempting to strengthen the glute medius but this didn't help. I then watched you doing the hip airplane and you talked about how the glue meds purpose is not only the extend the leg sideways but also to balance it. I tried doing the hip airplanes and found it very difficult but have since made progress and can now do three cycles of it. Unbelievable that I can now run without pain ! Thank so much

    I have a sacrum that was overeager during its formation and fused an extra vertebra (my lowest lumbar vertebrae). Because of this I have lower than usual flexibility in my lower back and a tendency towards back pain in that region. I found that rollerblading (yes I am that old) was uniquely suited to working out the muscles that support that area of the back and as long as I keep up the muscle mass in that area, my back doesn't bother me at all. Not saying that this exercise isn't useful, it totally is, but if you experience lower back pain, it might not do any harm to try ice skating or roller skating (or rollerblading if you are nostalgic!) just take it slowly and carefully!

    Flexion-to-extension exercises with low-load (like the Jefferson Curl or a MedX Lumbar Extension machine) may be a more effective way to isolate the low back muscles. MedX saved me from my chronic back pain where exercises with a static back failed.

    • @SquatUniversity
      @SquatUniversity  Рік тому +2

      The jefferson curl isolates the low back muscles with movement of the spine which is not ideally how we want to use those muscles. Movement of the spine through full ranges + load is a mechanism for injury so ideally when we load the spine we want to minimize movement.

    • @ScholteimReinbachIII
      @ScholteimReinbachIII Рік тому +2

      Jefferson curls are not for bodybuilding or direct strength. It's for working on mobility and flexibility by mastering its range of motion (resistance is needed for this). It's not intended to explosively heave loads, but protect your spine from flexion that can burst your discs. Your use of Jefferson Curls is very suitable for your rehab scenario.

    One more important piece of info is that this type of workout is a very slow progress to go heavy. Keep your ego out and build that flexibility range while very slowly adding weight throughout the months.
    This routine falls under nerve flossing. You go heavy before reaching that flexibility range, and then you end up waiting longer to recover from nerve pain.

    What if my hamstring is not flexible enough to hinge like that, how to progress and reach this flexibility?

    Would you recommend this for folks with Spondylolisthesis? This kind of shear force seems really inappropriate

    I have a question, when I want to target the adductors I do seated goodmornings, because I like more how it feels, is the same thing as the sumo stance goodmornings right? Or is it better to do them on the sumo stance?
