Lower Body Flexibility Follow Along | Lattice Training 

Happy to help Grahame!

Thanks! Glad you liked the routine. Add or remove what ever you want. Some more hamstring stuff sounds good as this can be the limiting factor for many.

@@LatticeTraining Thank you for this routine. I've done this routine around 4-5 times per week the past weeks and I already see some very great flexibility gains!

Yes, good work! Totally agree with things like the scorpion, its so important to connect the upper body to the lower body when training flexibility. Its all connected and influences our movement on the wall.

Hope you like them :)

Cheers Daniel :)

Good timing! :D

Hi Alain. Yes, you can totally do this more than once. 2-3 times would be good :)

No worries Daniel :)

Awesome! Consistency is key :)

Glad you liked it :)

@@LatticeTraining yes, I’ve incorporated this into my exercise regimen.

No worries, happy to help :)

Me too

Hi Marek, I think for many this is true. Time to get flexible and apply it to your climbing. Stretching before your climbing session can help with this and build good habits.

I find deep squats (bum near the ground) good for ankle flexibility. My left is stiffer following surgery, but a few minutes a day in squats with my feet quite close together is the best thing I've found for it.

There is one for shoulder mobility already ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tf_FkzgLHp0.html

@@emokarlffm oh thanks pal

Yes please!

Thanks Peter!

You should always focus on a stretch in the muscle (in this case the calf muscle) and avoid any feeling of compression. If your ankle hurts you need to speak to a physio to find the cause. This kind of thing is best done in person because everyone is different.

I've been experiencing what I think are shin splints from this particular stretch. The front of my lower leg from just above the ankle to just below the knee feel like they've had a heck of a workout the next day after doing this stretch. Is this normal?

@@Jo3sX Hi Joel, we will always advise you avoid anything that feels uncomfortable or painful. I am not sure how shin splints could occur from this stretch but you may be contracting your tibialis anterior muscle quite hard in the dorsiflexion stretch and getting muscles soreness. You should always check with a physio if you are experiencing pain and it may be something else causing the issue that needs to be addressed.

How many of you can actually sit squat like that? 😨

@@fragletemmer you'll get there just takes regular practice

@@darkraiman33 hmm, i don't know. I often feel people that make flexibility videos don't really understand just how terrible some peoples flexibility really is 😅 I'll keep trying tho

@@fragletemmer No I totally understand and not every position or exercise will work for everyone so it becomes a challenge to make the perfect follow along that everyone can do yet still progress with. If you can't do these try doing stretches you enjoy and work for you. Do these consistently for months and you'll get to this level in time. This Josh writing and I could not touch my toes a few years back but my flexibility is very different these days. You don't have to settle for being inflexible, if you really want it you can work towards it. It's just with flexibility, gains come slower in the start, then the more flexible you become the easier it is. In many ways opposite to strength training, which is why flexibility is often less motivating.

​@@LatticeTraining Thank you for the encouragement! I'm trying really hard to follow this video every day now, and you're right: progress is really slow. But I'll take your word that things will eventually get better! You're doing great work btw, the video is very well produced, clear and instructional.

Yesss, legend!
