Hey bro the key is to get abs to bench and on chest to keep the lower back firing. If this isn't possible lower the weight to keep form. Relate to the Doms , it's like apart of the body has been worked you didn't even know existed. More Life Lars.
Jeez, that's some incredible mobility man. I've been working a lot on my flexibility and my hips are the one thing that are really trailing. Definitely going to incorporate these!
Man, I lol'd when you said "inb4 comments about kneesovertoesguy", cause it was legit the first thing that popped into my head. Thank you for humourously reminding me to not jump to conclusions.
@@toomuch9762 He got pushed by the algorithm which made him blow up recently which led to a lot of people being exposed to "new" exercises in their eyes. But as you said a lot of the exercises he preaches about have been used for a long time by physios and conditioning coaches.
Your point at the 1:43 min. mark was not lost on me as this was exactly where I had discomfort with Squats and Deadlifts. So I tried it out, easing into the exercise yesterday, working up to an empty bar and I'm happy to say today, my back is already feeling better... Which is a good sign in my experience when it comes to injury rehab. I'll say one thing though - I find it impossible to do on a flat-bench. My "privates" are squashed! I switched to a decline bench, keeping the legs/hips/torso in the same orientation yet giving the necessarily "room" to complete the movement.
@@o_oo_o1812 hey its ben's coach here. When he played for me he had a 19 inch vertical jump. He couldn't even grab the rim, without a basketball or anything
Hey Tom, Love your videos! Do you have any video on this channel or planning a new (series) where you combine some strength with stretching? I'm no expert but thinking about: - hold kettlebells for grip strength while in a leg strech position (deep squat maybe). - kneeling position, sit on me heels, hands high, and: elevate one and other hand to activate deep back muscles - etc., I hope you get the idea This would be great for time crunched people, who always stress about "damn, no time for streching" during wokring out and "damn, no time for getting stronger" during trying to gett more flexible.
Thank you. For including your comments. “No. I am not copying Kees over Toes Guy” I like Ben! ( Knees Over Toes Guy) but anyone making a comment to you about copying him is New to the field of exercise and should expand on their education. Therefore should REFANE on making comments out of ignorance.
Kneesovertoes talked about it and so did you. No one invented this. It’s been returned into discussion for its many benefits for humans in daily activities. I applaud you for still making this video Tom and explaining in your own unique way. Loved it
This looks awesome. Do you have a recommendation for an at-home variation that does not require a barbell? I have dumbbells, bands, a pull-up bar, and bench.
Great video! Definitely gonna incorporate this one. Also are you planning on doing a video on the mouth to nose breathing experimenting you're doing. Would love to to know your thoughts and/or tips. Definitely big issue for me too
I dont know why people do that. To try and hate. Even if he did copy kneesovertoesguy. Who cares, The goal is to know what you doing regarding fitness not tryna make a name for yourself. We all copied somebody. The books you read all written by somebody. These exercises been done for years. Many people use them. Just get the info who cares. This is what's causing a lot of confusion in the fitness industry and its causing all these brands to surface and people bodies are not healthy because of it
Absolutely. If you learn something new from someone like KOT guy, then there’s nothing wrong with relaying that information anyway. We all have to learn from somewhere
Awesome video and info. Question: How do you get into the 3:56 wide grip position with what looks like 135 pounds on the bar? If I get my hands that wide and do an exercise, by the time I’m done my back and hands are almost cramped enough that it is hard to move my hands back in, narrower, so I can re-rack the barbell on the squat rack. It isn’t easy to get my hands out of the way from being pinched between the barbell and squat rack. Of course, I’m starting out doing this with lighter weights, just to get the flexibility first. But I have the same wide hand width and re-racking issue when I do good mornings, so it isn’t just this exercise. Thanks! Great content on your channel!
Hey, i have terrible hip flexibility, so it becames rather impossible getting near the flat abs to bench angle. I can only do around 45 degrees, and have been training for around 3 weeks (not beeing able to go any lower). What could I do to focus on becoming more flexible? Thanks a lot in advance
I'm wondering this as well. I'm starting to think I might have a "hip impingement" that might affect this motions, but I'm not sure if that's accurate or not. Do you feel any "pinging" at the front of your hips? Or what does it feel like that you can't go further?
How do I get into the starting position for this exercise? I'm so lost on how to get the barbell on my back and sit on the bench. Can you please share some details?
Hey Tom, to progress in flexibility you suggested to straightn the legs, but without keeping the upper leg parallel to the ground wich reduces the end range rom. Would it not be superior to lift the feet with blocks while straightn the legs over time until you are in a regular pancake position? Would love to hear your thoughts on that one.
I follow along with a lot of your flexibility videos. But I'm not nearly as flexible as you, so when I reach my maximum stretching point my body position is nowhere near where yours is. That makes it hard to tell if I'm actually doing the stretch appropriately, and I'm wondering if others have this problem too. Would you consider including people (volunteers, friends, etc) in your video with various levels of flexibility?
Any way to do this with kettlebells? I don't have access to a barbell (or the space) and I imagine I could put a kettlebell on my back. But, I'm curious if raising my elbows over my head to support the kettlebell will complicate maintaining a neutral spine, or if the concentration of weight in the center of my back (versus spread wide with a barbell) will affect my spine in anyway?
Hello Tom. I have a question and would love to hear your thought. I'm currently doing split stretching routine and was wondering if I could add on some more stretches like the pancake stretch as well as middle split stretch? Is it ok. I do front split stretches 3 to 4 times per week and the other 2 to 3 days I'll do upper body stretch. What do you think? Would love to hear your opinion 🙏
of course you can gymnasts work on all at the same time - why shouldn't you? id probably start my session on the pancake then move to L and R and finsih with middle splits
A lot of different paths to reach a middle split You can either go high volume , but will need to gauge recovery because split work you will get doms or low volume 1x a week but a big session and intense - still need recovery even though it’s only a stretch. Pancakes are good because it’s a lot quicker to achieve than a middle split.
I can’t even get past 80 degrees without starting to round- should I regress to a completely different stretch or exercise? My hips are just too tight for this to even get started it seems
This exercise is a bloody nightmare for me. Ive had a crazy tight/weak adductor on my right for years, inside knee clicking since I was a kid. I've only been working out how to do it for a few months and I can only do half reps right now, the pump in my adductor is insane. Leg gets straighter week by week but god its so long. Can't fix 10+ years in 10 minutes 😭😂😭😂
Ditto. I cant sit on the floor with my legs straight without my hips and lower back curved scoliosis style. Easily the tightest part of my body is my hips
Do you have to do diaphragmatic breathing and create pressure with your abs? Or can you just do it without worrying about breathing? I feel limited by the breathing because after 5 reps I feel I can no longer build proper pressure and stop the set
I always thought that having a neutral spine meant having your hips in a posterior tilt in position. So if I’m getting this correctly, being in the Nordic spine position means that your hips are anteriorly tilted as well as your upper thoracic should be extended and arching up? That’s weird I’ve been thinking about this wrong for so many years.
Can I use kettlebell? I have only 16 kg kettlebell at home… i mean for beginning if its not heavy for me or should I use something different? I dont have bar and plates at home. And I cant even squat I fall backwards so I want to improve my hip and ankle mobility
I do this with my pancake stretching, just minus the bench. Is it a fair option to do it on the floor with straddle legs? ah dw, you talk about that near the end
You’re demonstration shows a lot of lumbar flexion towards end of movement. No benefit to getting chest as low as possible if it doesn’t come from hips. Actually counterproductive because lumbar flexion shortens moment arm (easier) and, if loads, tempo, or reps are high, increases injury risk. Tip: film yourself and figure out the maximum depth you can do without any visible lumbar flexion. Then set incline bench to stop you at that height.
Yep. I have same problem. I can do front and side splits but will never be able to pancake because of joint restriction. But like with squats, you should only go to a depth that is appropriate for your anatomy. I actually hurt my back (disc herniation) doing seated goodmornings with too much weight and too much flexion.
Any advice for a deep muscle that doesn't like to stretch or loosen? My chiropractor has to do deep pressure point release and its a constant hindrance for moves like this and squat because I feel it pulling in my hip/low back and don't want to cause an injury!
Hey Tom, I'm a bit confused. Do you use the words mobility and flexibility interchangeably? Would you say they're more or less the same thing? At least for all intents and purposes?
Flexibility is what I would use as an umbrella term. There is a technical difference but a flexibility practice should cover it all. active, dynamic, static are better descriptors
Just to nitpick: When talking about form you mentioned a "nice, lordotic, neutral spine" - Which is kind of an oxymoron if you think about it. A neutral spine is a neutral spine, a lordotic lower back is a lordotic lower back, a kyphotic upper back is a kyphotic upper back, and so on. A neutral spine does include curves that alternate between the lordotic and kyphotic directions but as a technical term both spinal lordosis and kyphosis are reserved for very specific things and neither of them is a neutral spine. Other than that it seems like a superb progression exercise.
These hurt so bad for me (because I need them) I’m very active at work. Picking up stuff that weights a hundred pounds regularly and have been having so much back pain. I need these so much
If i do this with the first variant (bent knees) I feel a pinching pain at the front/inside of the hips (around the hip flexor area). Anyone got any ideas on what that could be?
Again this is where the hip anatomy differs. Try out different foot positions both widths (narrow as well) and also raising the height of the hips. I would also consider improving internal rotation
I don't comment often. But this is some of the worst advice I've seen anywhere. Like... dangerously bad. Like... don't walk, run away from this advice. Like... just pre-pay your ortho/chiro bills because you'll save money. Axial load and inflexibility are the fiercest enemies of lumbar dysfunction and injury. My dude Tom - Redo this video. Thanks, Earth
Anyone with a herniated disk injury should AVOID this. I followed Tom's videos last summer and herniated my disk. At no point does he flag that strength and flexibility is a 'trade off'. One compromises the other. Adding flexibility and then attempting a dead lift is how people do permanent damage.

Watch kneesovertoesguy and his demonstration of the seated GM with the dumbbell.
Hold it to your chest and sit near the end of the bench while keeping your back straight
Is it possible do to this with a kettlebell? Thanks for your answer🤗
How about using a cable machine instead of a weight. It can get risky at the end of your set with a weight on your back

Hey Tom, I'm a bit confused. Do you use the words mobility and flexibility interchangeably? Would you say they're more or less the same thing? At least for all intents and purposes?
Mobility is strength through Range Flexibility is passive Flexibility.
Flexibility is what I would use as an umbrella term. There is a technical difference but a flexibility practice should cover it all. active, dynamic, static are better descriptors
Just to nitpick: When talking about form you mentioned a "nice, lordotic, neutral spine" - Which is kind of an oxymoron if you think about it. A neutral spine is a neutral spine, a lordotic lower back is a lordotic lower back, a kyphotic upper back is a kyphotic upper back, and so on.

Dont look at kneesovertoes guy as an opponent, you two work for a common goal. Ignore the dumbo comments
How i avoid arching after hingin though?
It is quite advanced move. You probably should start with no weight at all and work your way to acquire the ability to bend with a proper form
A little arching isn’t a problem. Focus on lowering to an object you can hit and build up volume here
