I think watching this video could literally save someone from injury, frustration, wasting money/time, and assist with- not only progress in performance/physique, but also could contribute to a different thought process which could be reflected upon years down the line.. not everyone has had this advice and has had to learn the hard way. Thanks Matt.
Please help get the word out on these videos. These take a lot of effort and time for us to bring you these free!!!! Also come support patreon - and help us with keeping these videos going 🙏🙏🙏
This video made me proud of my programming. I train all these groups and when I started, my father who is an og lifter told me that I'm wasting time especially on the abductor and adductor machines because that's women's exercises. Little does he know how much those two exercises corrected and supported my squat, bringing me out of my first squat plateau. He calls me a gym nerd/rat but man I love the science. Saved me lots of injuries and I've basically blown past his lifetime physique and records in my very first year of lifting by just doing the research and knowing what I'm doing and to what muscles.
I have been doing Matt's lying internal and external rotations for a about a month now to help strengthen my rotator cuffs after and injury and I am already seeing the results with less tightness while bench pressing. HIghly recommend!
I have gotten decently advanced with my training and have realised it's almost always the small muscles holding me back from maximum performance, and I have rightfully so started prioritising them and working on some kind of small muscle every day
Your absolutely right, But, most people don’t even think about these muscles. That’s why I train bye myself. They just want to train the big showy muscles.
Unless you are a professional athlete making a shit ton of money your training shouldn't be beating you up leaving you crippled later in life. Thats why I listen to Matt. Great info about stuff that often gets overlooked. Check out his Off Season Manual. Lots of great ideas to give your body a change of pace and make sure those sometimes neglected muscles and movements get the attention they need!
Great info! I quit wearing tennis shoes with a heel drop. Altra and Xero shoes are my go to now days. Remove the cast's from your feet and allow them to move freely!
Love the honest Description of how things should be fluid in the lifting we do. Not just one lift makes you great its all of the training thru out your career which is the sum of the outcome. Im 58 and still lifting heavy and working hard in all my affairs. Pay attention to tbe details they leave clues.
I like being reminded about the minor things we often ignore, I promise this info is being put to good use for people like me who like to prevent injuries
Thank you for bringing these to us for free Matt. I’m fresh out of college starting as an ICU nurse, once I muster up the funds you can bet your ass I’ll be on your Patreon. 💪🏻
A wealth of information from a cool guy. At 64 it's a little late for me. I'm happy just being able to train 4 times a week. Hope younger people are listening and learning.
Another gold mine of information ive implemented wenning warmups and some of the other principles you talk about in my training and am already feeling the difference after 6 weeks thanks mate
I was treated by Dr Joseph Horrigan who wrote the 7 minute rotator cuff solution. He loves powerlifting and used to write for Ironman. If I had Matt’s information, which is the same I paid thousands for, I never would have hurt my shoulder. All of the muscles you described are so important for structural balance then performance. Thank you for this information.
Your knowledge is INSANE, I am trying to get back into shape and hit the gym after about 10 years of not going, and you are the only and I mean only trainer that has ever heard mention Serratus and Tib...and In100% agree installed training tibs in HS during track andnafter a while Inhad great results and zero pain!!
Great video Matt! Training these small muscles has really helped me keep progressing in my SBD without major injuries. I'm definitely going to throw in those DB Pull Overs in my upcoming accumulation phase.
The Kabuki strength Shoulderok got my shoulders healthy enough to bench press again after a very long time of being unable to. The overhead swings with that big mace, opened me up, and stretched things out in a way that I don’t actually fully understand. Maybe I’m wrong, but I think my lats were not allowing my shoulders to move correctly. The dumbbell pullover you demonstrated may have actually done the same thing.
I train the muscles in my rotator cuff pretty religiously now ever since some minor shoulder issues surfaced, but I must admit that when it comes to the other muscle groups you mentioned - ab/ad ductors, serratus anterior, and tibialis anterior, my training is really lacking in proper stimulus to these muscle groups. As you said about the tibialis anterior being an issue for running/rucking, I definitely get some pretty extreme discomfort in this muscle when I walk quickly for extended periods of time. This is a sign that it is likely weak. Thanks Matt again so much.. your channel and patreon are literally goldmines of information.
Great point on the serrates anterior and love the distinction between overhead pullovers vs. overhead press. I've heard some proponents of the OHP say they like it because it helps with serrates. I like Joe Defranco's recommendations to mix in push ups for pressing volume as they active the serrates more.
So informative. Thanks Matt! It just make sense to train the supporting/secondary muscles that support and stabalize the primary muscle groups to remain injury free.
@@WenningStrength All good. I guess it would make a difference if you're watching on desktop or on mobile. I'm always doing the UA-cam informational stuff on mobile while driving so I don't read anything. Haven't purchased anything yet. Personally, I'm a trainer/coach and run a training business as well. I am just always trying to learn and improve my craft from other trainers that I respect. I don't necessarily know if you have anything geared towards that or not? Definitely appreciate your teachings. You should speak at an NSCA conference or something sometime.
I got the "shoulder horn" for rotator cuff work after training for over 20 years some of it heavy. That rotator cuff work made a huge difference in the health of my shoulders and restored the external rotation of me. The point is -Matt is right on about how important it is to train the cuff when you do a lot of chest n' back
I blew both of mine. Had my left surgically repair. I didnt do the right. Now 12 years later. My left dosnt hurt but feels like im not doing anything. I can not bench anything much at all. My right hurts no mater what i do. If i workout much. It aches so bad at night i cant sleep. It sucks! Wish i knew more back in the 90s
As poor runner that has had shin splints and knee pain, training Rib’s is HUGE for helping knee pain. It’s basically a shock absorber for you , try negative tibia raises standing and it’ll make sense. Train those bastards
Critical Chain & Theory of Constraints - the least efficient contributor bottleneck’s the entire system from meaning improvement. Improving anything but the constraint will cause either a greater deficiency or further surplus.

Yep!! Too bad only a few will ever see the video
The thing is all info on this channel is high level science and meathead combined, pure f'n 🥇

Fantastic video. Wil be implementing. thank you

All of you videos have helped me way too much in training and general health! Doing the best I can to spread these videos!
Much appreciated my friend 🙏🙏
I always think about the rotator cuff...
...cause you've told me to
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Yep!!! Trying to help to the ones that listen
Always priceless information, also great the tibialis anterior tip
Thanks
🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅
When I walked to the gym I was noticing tibialis pain while I was walking. It got better eventually and my tibialis muscles got bigger.
Lover the short video but was hopping to see an exercise for everything you covered. I appericate you teaching me more
💪💪💪💪
Another great video. Very important information. Avoiding injury should be a priority
Yes it should - unfortunately it isn’t especially today :((((

I shared it on Facebook. Thank you for video's .
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
👍
video idea - Discussing the difference in GPP gained from crossfit vs Specific GPP geared training you have discussed and shown. 🤷♂️👍😎
Perhaps!!!
i could see rear delts aswell on that list
thanks Matt for the content
Yep!!!!!
Basically ties in with the rotator cuff
Very thankful for this Videos!
🌟🌟🌟🌟
Great information
✊✊✊
nice video ! but what if my ankle mobility is so bad that i need that heel elevation to squat at all with good form ?
Great question for patreon 💯
Great 💯
Love your stuff. Please fix that super long intro. I’d rather get right to your info! You’re the man.
Nah I like it - many don’t know all the populations I’ve helped. Just out of curiosity what have you purchased off the website??

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
And this one for the algorithm
Good stuff
🙏🙏🙏
@@WenningStrength Thanks coach
Comin in hot on Monday morning! Thanks for the video. It’s funny because I’m currently fighting with pissed off serratus.
Yep been there
Although you’ve made me think I should probably start looking more to my lats to fix them.
I remember problems with Tibialis interior in the Infantry
💯💯💯💯
Got it thanks coach

Do you know some equipment to train tibialis? Something plate loaded?
Tib bar

Sit on the stairs and put a plate or dumbbell on your toes with a towel to protect your feet.
