Huh, as a climber I always wondered why my handstands were so much better and more stable after a climbing session (when I'm arguably pretty exhausted). Your explanation of hands and shoulders being primed for it by the pulling motions makes a lot of sense! :)
Gracias❤ definitely strength training is a MUST. When I only do yoga I hurt my self easy😢. Thanks for sharing!
My response: 100%! I feel much older and more restricted in movement after 12 months of weight training than before I started. I've just been looking around for ways to restore my flexibility. I think I've found myself a new channel.
I've found that my flexibility has actually improved with weight training. I do make sure to go through a full range of motion when lifting.
Great advice! My flexibility actually improved once I started weight training along with yoga (yoga after weights helps prevent DOMS for me). A much more rounded training plan has given me strong and supple muscles! 😊
Smart Choice #1 & 2 also coincide nicely with making sure that the most demanding part of the exercise is done at the point of peak muscle length. For example, in a Lat Pulldown, taking time on the eccentric part of the movement and allowing that to take the muscles to full stretch will give significantly better strength gains.
It's also why it's better to use an assisted pull-up machine if you have access to one over a band - the former keeps load equal over the full range but the band provides most assistance at the point that you'd benefit from more resistance! Of course, simple eccentric pull-ups win!
This is the best UA-cam channel I’ve come across yet for strength, flexibility, balance, and endurance training!

I did absolutely no mobility work and starting weight training improved my mobility hugely.
This is exactly the video I wanted today. Had this exact question. Thank you!!!
I appreciate this lecture . I had thought of quitting weight training.
Thanks for sharing this. Definitely interesting and useful.
So helpful, thank you 💜🤗🙌🙌🙌
As someone who trains strictly heavy loaded compound movements 3+ times a week and used to train yoga (now not anymore) i must admit with utilizing full ROM excercises gave me more flexiblity than doing only yoga sessions. For me yoga was simply a form of a relaxation for muscles rather than stretching, simply because yoga is lacking to keep the *new* stretched position in the longterm. As science explains -in order to retain it, you need to adress this new position with strenght activities so the body learns new motoric pattern. Otherwise it will revert to the previous, known pattern as it feels confident in it ( reinforced by thousands of repetitions)
I also started to use some of breathing practices on my workouts and it seems that they are much aligned of what we were doing in yoga classes.
To sum up - the combination of strenght and post workout routine yoga is the best in my opinion.
Love the information here. Could you also do some strength training information videos?
I also started yoga after years of weight training and found them to be very good complement. Yoga like you said apart from flexibility it also helps with endurance and better strength. I also like pilates.
Such a useful video ❤
For the past year I've been hitting the weights a couple times a week and I usually time these weight sessions right before yoga class due to convenience and time constraints. It turns out that hitting the weights before yoga class was the right order and I didn't even know it lol. The main downside is feeling muscle fatigue during class but I just treat that as an extra challenge to work around.
Hello!
Thank you for your videos!
I am a kiteboarder and a programmer - an awful combination really: sitting all day, and then going kitesurfing for a dose of adrenaline. Without rehab I will be unhealthy soon.
I enjoy your videos a lot, especially the ones about exercises to rehab from sitting, "bulletproof your knees" and "improve hip mobility".
Can you recommend any exercises to recover from toe injury? I had it kitesurfing in Vietnam, and my foot slipped and the board was driven by the force of the wave overextended my left toe upwards. Later that season I had a second injury in that place.
Since then I have mild knee and hip pain, which comes from not using the toe properly when walking.
I understand this is best discussed with a doctor, but I fled Russia where medicine isn't all that great and I am in Egypt in a remote area, and until I find a job (god knows when) I am unable to talk to a good doctor.
I compiled a playlist to follow along when I cannot kite. Maybe you can recommend any of your videos based on ones I mentioned and the sport I am into?
I am also very curious about the idea of "activity microdosing", do you have videos about that?
Thank you!!
Perfect video just in time. As always thank you for great information
I'm looking to get back into strength training with dance, and this gave me a good foundation of how I might build a new routine! It's slightly complicated by the fact that dance is a leg-heavy workout, but I at least have a good idea of where to start..
Ever been bent in half and destroyed with a bbc? Just asking questions
Totally agreed!
Hi, if possible, could you make. Video about how to do the transition from bakasana to chaturanga?
I can do both but not the jump to go from one position to the other. Thanks
High rep calestetics eg Iron Wolf on UA-cam + yoga and flexibility is the way. Would be fun to see a colab😊
Agree wouldn’t mind seeing her with some iron wolf in her
Is there a good way to add in some running and swimming sessions as well? :)
Hi there, where can i get your Book and is it a ebook? Do you have a discount code 😊
Brilliant
Weights first, yoga second👍great informative video
Yoga related skills involved in training weight session. Push and pull days! (These are notes for myself to come back to)
I've definitely built muscle doing yoga. Would progressive overload not be possible through shorter rests & deeper/longer holds?
3:57 just marking this so i can see the form of the pulldown
Pre training 30 minutes flexibility, pilates, stretching, yoga. My own devise. Never fails. 👌🏾
I was literally just wondering about this lol
Weird. I feel nothing uncoils my hamstrings more than paused RDLs
New shoes?
💯💙
Anybody else come from filmbooth's video?
Thanks Leggings!
Where can I get your book (shown in clip)? I’ve practiced yoga for six years and found I need to incorporate weights. But I’m not interested in signing up and spending time in a gym. I’m hoping I can do this with free weights at home.
Could you do a youtube clip that suggests weight exercises a yogi should do, or does that really depend on the yoga, the person, body type etc, etc?
Yes the program is designed for using free weights at home and talks exactly about what exercises yogis should do to help their practice. Heres the link - livinleggings.yoga/teaching/strength-training-yoga/
You can also say you build different😅😅😅
Weight training will ruin flexibility. No way around it
Nothing new.
For you, maybe but you could allow others to learn, be motivated and be happier & healthier. You must have started somewhere, even if you now know everything and can do everything?!
I loved this video 💞💞💞 great advices 🫶🏽👌🏽
Putting the two together is like sticking one in the pink and one in the stink, I like it
