Sharing training tips, routines, exercises, and information that I have used to prepare top athletes for over a decade. Dedicated to raising the bar for what it means to be a Performance Specialist.
Thank you so much. I only just bought one but I was indeed doing the exercise incorrectly. Made my back ache as you pointed out. Hinging now. No back ache. Great, informative video.
a very simple and humble tip after thoroughly fkg my back. start with very light weights and first learn the form. when u use a weight that ur muscles are not yet ready for. other areas will compensate (and get fkd)
Hey Coach PJ, my name is Brian Bae, I currently work for Nike Training Studio and always mention your programming when it comes to our workouts. I am very interested in the theory behind your programming, as well as why you choose certain exercises over others. Would you be open to breaking down the importance of programming and your approach to it?
Your lungs would explode if you did 85 lbs of these things lol it’s crazy hard. I’m 210 lbs, I do 80 lbs each hand at 5 reps, 3 sets per leg. My lungs are nearly bursting and I’m nearly passing out after second set. This exercise is no joke.
Do more you're doing it wrong stuff because I like to know I'm doing things properly and I REALLY like telling others at Planet Fitness that according to BJ on RU-vid =You're doing it wrong!
I see a lot of it from kids where they're constantly sitting on machines talking texting fucking around not taking anything serious at the gym except for constantly doing one muscle group triceps😂 people are so obsessed with their fucking phones but then again when I walk into a gym and I see people with progress then I know who's in here that's actually serious people that have been coming here for months years still looking the exact same that shows me right there that you're on your phone more than your lifting I see people taking more selfies than actually lifting well what's the point of taking selfies when you look the exact fucking thing😂 people have no common sense now
Please go back to teaching perfect technique as that is what I'm interested in. I love telling people at Planet Fitness = "you're doing it wrong" according to BJ Nestler on RU-vid.
Bring back the "You're doing it wrong" RU-vid. I love Learning perfect technique because I don't want to end up like Ronnie Coleman. Everyone at Planet Fitness knows me as the guy who likes to tell everyone what they're doing wrong!
It strengthens rotator cuffs and the small stabilizing muscles we take for granted in our upper backs. I started doing a variation of this about 6 months ago and it completely solved 2 issues: shoulder impingement and a constant soreness/ache I had in that area between my shoulder blade and my spine. Now this is part of my warmup routine before every single workout at the gym, regardless of what muscle group I'm targeting. Life changer for me.
brother you just described my EXACT problems. bless you. i've been going to the chiro and trying different stretches/exercises but this one hasn't come up yet.
Never seen this one, cool, thanks for sharing, subbed. Straight to the point informative how-to video, love it. I actually have a gardening "kneeling mat" that would function well for this, probably similar thickness and maybe same material
No, core bracing is a much over stated and misunderstood concept, only really needed during max effort lifts like deadlifts and squats. This is a GREAT exercise to allow your core musculature to "turn on & off" as needed to create the stiffness necessary. Just walk tall and under control and let the small movements of the bands and instability of the walk do the rest
Hiking the KB back from the grounded position is a great teaching tool. I use it often when performing heavy swings myself, or teaching new people who struggle with the hinge of the swing. But it's certainly not the ONLY way to swing a KB. But thanks for being the youtube police here and keeping us all safe ;-)
I never thought I’d get the belly laughs from a video like this. Thank you Chase for making my day. My four year old is so confused why I’m laughing so hard right now.
