He just got lucky that he seems like the right height for the bench in question. There’s nothing adjustable here to suit height and is quite literally not a one size fits all hack😊
Apologies if I misled you, but I don't believe there's anything in the title, video or description about it being adjustable, a life hack or one size fits all. It's just an exercise demo in a unique way, if it helps one person with their training there's value.
I don't see any problem with grip. For strict pullups: Ideally you need a bar a little higher to be able to fully control the eccentric to full extension of elbows and to fully unlock your scapulae in the bottom position. On concentric, explosive pull, ideally to bar below clavicles if you can. Don't crane the neck. You are kipping a bit. I don't mind kipping if that is what is intended with that version of you pullup, but it looks like you are doing a more gymnastic hollow bodied pullup versus an arch back pullup or crossfit kip styled pullup. Give a slight pause at the top with elbows cued down and back, then slower eccentric down. Don't worry about rep count. Keep strict form and rep until form crumbles, then stop and rest.
I have a 45° scoliosis S curve... I've been squatting for almost a week now. I used to sway mostly to the right side, I'm now standing straighter. I never thought I could straighten up my back naturally. Now I know there's a possibility. I'm documenting my progress with pictures. This is going to be part of my daily lifestyle and not just a trend.
I'll stick with my Roman Chair for hyper extensions. I can get all the same angles as you have here. Call me a scardie cat, , but this doesn't really look like a real safe use of that incline bench.
Might be good address the low back pain first, I'd suggest looking at quad flexibility (Look up side lying quad stretch) and glute engagement. Once those are resolved you could move onto the back extensions.
Try using a low chair or stool to sit on and stand on books. Over time use less books or progress to a lower stool. 52 is still young for this. Might help to build more abdominal and core engagement also.
I’m in my 50s and only started deep squatting a few years ago. I would suggest holding on to something like a heavy weight or the end of the stairs (the bannister) for support. It does take time though if ever.
There's slight rounding at the end when going down Is it safe for bulging discs i have L4L5 L5S1 mild bulges i want to round at the end of feels peaceful but I'm worried what might come of it after doing it for long term
I'd ideally be doing that without the low back round, so stay higher than where I am going where your low back stays straight. With any disc issues I'd aim to keep the waist area engaged and tight to protect the back, hope that helps
Like the exercise - I'm all over using the landmine in dozens of creative ways and movements... BUT without at least a spotting pin in place on side of arm not in use (I see the barbell catch - so maybe he's happy with that)... But if he (for some unforeseen reason) cannot get the bar on that single barbell catch - things might not end so well... Nevertheless it is a good (novel...) way to escape having to do some similar movement(s) laying on the floor... gives a little better stretch to the movement... Stay safe - Lots of progress coming your way...
You didn’t even answer the question. Your video fails to address people who have been in the gym 5+ days a week, counting calories, getting good sleep, eating enough protein for 2 years who want to know how much they should expect to pay to get a trainer to help them to the next level. Don’t make a video that has a misleading title.
Thanks for the feedback Travis. Your specific example highlights the difficulty of a one size fits all answer to this question and that's what I was aiming to address in the video. Given even the background you gave, there would need to be more detail given to enable a good estimate. Some examples: What's the goal? strength/muscle/confidence, Are you highly motivated or need more ongoing support? How soon do you want to reach your goal? What's your technical knowledge and exercise technique, does it need to be regularly overseen or you only need to be guided once? There's many more of these questions that need to be asked to formulate an appropriate solution and then know what the investment in terms of time, energy and money will be involved. Most want to ask "How much?" before any of this investigation is done and that's the reason they never get anywhere. They can't even take the time to invest in the process of figuring this all out. Hope that helps.
This is a fantastically simple and scalable training regimen for this kind of mobility. No fancy moves, no fancy equipment, not complicated anatomy or theory. Just simple practicing of the movement, mechanically and progressively. Bravo. Cant wait to try this, Ive been sucking at deep squats for years
Great video, received these the other day after months of waiting and thought I was missing something obvious with the mechanism. After watching your video and using the method shown I was pleased to see rapid change.
Yes I can understand. I had the power blocks for a while they are faster at changing but they just don't feel anything like a normal dumbbell to me where the Ironmaster have a dumbbell feel.
Ta for the tip about getting up to a standing position. Hands on the floor. I've been getting down into the squat for a few years, but have always worried about standing up, as it seems to put strain on various places, especially at my age! 😉 Much better, thank you!
I've never had flexibility I got negative 11 or something? (never could touch the aperatus that every kid could haha) on the sit and reach every yr as a kid in grade school in PE haha. I'm just not meant to be that flexible, but always excelled explosive movements.
@@chaosdweller Your anatomy might mean it is harder to reach certain levels of flexibility, but I've found if you are consistent on practicing you can reach new levels. From what I've seen the sit and reach test isn't necessarily a sign of health, being able to comfortably deadlift or pick objects from the floor safely being a better assessment.
@@chaosdweller Aim for 2 minutes plus, this allows you to relax into the position and not do it mindlessly. Then you can stay in it as long as comfortable
This will depend more on how sturdy your chairs are, always test the weight first by pushing down into it from above and making sure it's not going to flip your chair
@@tristanhandcoaching those chairs didn't look like they could hold much weight. Just climb under the bar and drive the bar up into position with your hips.
Yes, I'd be interested to know too, since I hope to get them in May when they're back in stock where I live. So far, no one on youtube has much negatives to say about these, and they sure seem better than cheap spin lock weights.
Horrible? From what I‘ve gathered so far, they are definitely the way to go for a home gym if you factor in feel, durability and future proofness. None other goes that much up in weight.
Absolutely awesome dumbbells, just received mine a few days ago and I have no complaints. Very easy to use and unlike majority of other adjustable dumbbells, they aren’t awkward in the hands. Plus you can actually drop them!! Without having to worry about damage.
@@tristanhandcoaching what is the length of the back rest pls? Im 5.5 and im not sure if the bench I have in mind to buy will be long enough for me. The bench im looking at is 30 inch for the back rest.
