@ChrisDuffin this video is absolute fire. I am in complete agreement with you in seperating mobility sessions vs. Neural drive/warmup routines.. I really want to hear more though abiut the warmups!! Lol you mentioned Hip Airplanes prior to squatting, what else though for your warmup? I find it hard to get creative for those neural drive exercises. I would apprecaite your input
I've always been of mind that stretching/warming up too much makes me weak and not enough makes me weak. My mental game is my weakest because I can't get psyched up easily, and just seeing this video is kind of enlightening and makes me feel a bit less crazy.
So I've listened to your advice about mobility through stability. I've done stability drills that you've suggested for months on end to try and master these movements. I think I may be an exception to the things you suggest because of preexisting injuries and my walk to the gym. I'm legally blind so I can't drive. I walk almost 4 1/2 miles one way to the gym every day. I have a protrusion of the left Anterior superior Iliac spine, left leg is slightly shorter then the right, tendonitis in both knees and nerve damage in my neck that has led to atrophy on a portion in my left shoulder. I do these movement firing patterns you suggest and I'm seriously left in serious pain. Most of the time I can't even squat if I only do these because the hip pain makes it to where the bar travels close to my toes. Not only that but I'm 6'3" with this knee problem if I squat with proper technique my knees travel over my toes and put a ton of pressure on my knee. Any other suggestions other then what you normally would give to people would be greatly appreciated.
Mr and Mr Awesome dudes Humanoids, Duff might be a X men and well Doc McGill is Ph X ofcourse. I am so happy to have the possibility and luck to listen to this conversation. Ps. i cant run! but i will soon do it!
What about stretching and doing mobility work--pilates style-- as a separate training session? Is that recommended? I find dynamic stretching very relieving and it also helps me focus and get rid of whatever is in my mind from all day working. How long and how far in time from a weight training session should these "pilates style" sessions be, if they should be at all?
I know, I like jumping rope too, but I hurt my lower back so I stopped everything, gonna start with just walking, it’s only been 5 days but I miss my workout though my back is getting better I don’t wanna go thru this again
Hey Chris, I was curious as to whether or not you had a video on your channel about how you get into such a good position on your sumo deadlift or how to work up to that and what you need in order to do so? I saw Mark Bell's video where you guys were all deadlifting together but he had a voice over so I couldn't hear what you were saying. Keep up the great content!
So should I stretch muscles that are plainly sore from training but don't necessarily need more mobility/elasticity? If not, should I do anything at all for sore muscles? I'm new here, so if he's already discussed this, please direct me.
Drag the sled. There's nothing better for DMOS. If the posterior chain is sore, walk forward. If it's quads walk backward. If it's lats, walk backward while pulling the sled to you. If it's pecs, walk forward while doing presses. Use a weight that you can work with for several reps.
Hey Chris I'm a 16 year old (almost 17) powerlifter/football player I'm trying to still make powerlifting gains throughout the season to be able to go to a national meet during the season but I think from all the squats i do i created tightness in my hip joint and now during football practice i have pain in my hip joint by the end of a 2 hour practice and i am barely able to jog after practice. I ice my hips after practice and it usually feels better by the next morning but the pain starts again during practice. Can u please give some stretching advice other than butterflies to maybe help my pain. Thanks
Tony Balyan I'd like to offer some advice Tony. Been lifting 22 years, a trainer,former drug-free pro bodybuilder, and am still learning. The most optimal thing to do is to attempt to maintain your level of strength(don't force it!) while in season with football. Trying to be successful at both is tall if not an impossible task. Which can/will lead to decreased performance in one or the other, both, or injury. You really want to decide what is more important, football or powerlifting during your football season. Off season(football) is the time to build strength and compete( in powerlifting) if you really want to do it right. There is a difference sometimes(sometimes) between what you want to do and what you actually can do..
Lavar Lewis I like it. I had a micro loading weight set that works for starting at the recommended 5 pounds. I swing it about 3 times a week to build my core stabilization. I find I get the best use by reviewing Chris Duffin's instructional video once a week to make sure I'm doing it right.
But people don't know how to walk. The engram is faulty. Question: are your feet supporting your body? How so? They're not, if your standing over your heels. If your on your heels you're tensing your whole body all the time. How relax? When you walk how do your big toes relate to your head?
When you have such ecperts on your show than you extract the deepest of the deep knowledge they have.....you dont bragg that you also know everything and advertise yourselves in the name of the guest .....make him talk...dont brag yourvelves....Hope you get it
this video demonstrates exactly why I said your very clever! take Dr mcgill with all that he is and the resources he possesses and he only discovered the same truth you did with just your analysis and intelligence utilisation! take my hat of to you dude!
Funny thing. This guy is good at some things. But I'm better at other things. I can run circles around this guy on the bars with my strength and speed and flipping. I'm 60 years old. Not sure his age. But he can dead lift more lbs. But in life. I think I got him beat. I also have 6 pack. This guy as usual does not.
"Don't stretch outside your lifting range" how clear and useful.
Dr Mcgill is never in a hurry, very relaxing.
Wow stu McGill is an intense dude !! Awesome video
Dr. McGill has such a soothing voice.
Great content!
What an intelligent interview. Thanks, Chris.
This guy talks like a hypnotist
Brilliant. Thank you Chris and Dr. McGill! Phenomenal.
So awesome!!! Great info. Dr. McGill is the bee's knees!!!!!!!!
Love the nerdy details behind elite lifting.

Matthew Brown can’t believe we watched the same video bro . It’s so funny I found you in the comments haha
Fantastic piece
Distal mobility for proximal stability. You'll love swinging Meel
Really great information! Thanks for sharing!

+810Strong PL Stop doing the things that cause you pain, regardless of how great they work for other people. That is number #1
810Strong PL there is nothing wrong with your toes going over your knees
You da man chris
wow this is amazing!
My Facial Recognition device matches him to Joe Weider! No shirt. Same result ( soft) wacky inversion. Way he grasps intellectually its him.

Also, could you give examples of exercises that work the biomechanics and those that target the physiology? The distinction was not clear to me. Best
Walking Roks? HELLS YEAH!!!
Conan! Very cool!
Is there a book on this?

Did anyone else hear loud voices in the background?
Does sprinting help get you ready for a lift?

Nooo really? Like I haven't already tried that.

+sam bergstein you are a legend of UA-cam comments bro.
Mitchell Hayman :-0 Thanks Mitchell. That made my day so far
***** thanks man i will definitely be doing a lot of intense stretching in my glutes and hips.
Dragon Ball Z had it right the whole time lol.
How strong is he off the juice?
Hello Chris does the shouleRok come with weights?
Lavar Lewis I just bought one and no it doesn't come with weights.

I sure did learn some things.
The world your car truck sofa goddammit everything wants U not to stretch even little. Ignore it.
I can lift more when I'm happy

take Dr mcgill with all that he is and the resources he possesses and he only discovered the same truth you did with just your analysis and intelligence utilisation!
take my hat of to you dude!
Well said and I was thinking the same thing. 2 approaches come to the same conclusions.
