@kiz__ I'm pretty limited in calf mobility. Can't get my knees further than 7 -- 10 cm over the toes. That just about allows me to squat correctly with a barbell. Even if I work on improving it, there's hardly any change. And a full bodyweight squat isn't for me. I would like to be proven wrong on that. But it seems far out of reach for me. Hips and calf mobility are important enough to be explored, I think.

@@larsnystrom6698it can be a limitation of your bones in the ankle joint. Not everyone can do extremes knee over toes. I was born with clubfeet and have a shallow/low ball-and-socket ankle joint and cannot dorsiflex more than 5-8° past 90°. I do toe squats instead of regular to target the quads

@matthewismith .. so Let’s presume I have all the advantages in my shoulder to do a proper handstand. But I’m anatomically very limited in full locking out or straightening my elbows wich causes my bodyweight always to be on the opposite side and instead being able to stack properly I’m always muscle fighting against it.. Any suggestion ??

18:45 Matt fixed what years of calisthenics ‘broke’ in my shoulders. Part of the reason I made so much progress in the 100 day transformation was that he specifically targeted my ‘weak links’ with efficient methods. Much like past me wouldn’t believe what I can do now, it amazes me how bad I was. I even struggled to hold a squat bar on my back. Solid video and love the cgi work!

I have been dealing with the lack of mobility in my left shoulders for a few years. In an attempt to improve my mobility, I have watched hundreds of videos. This is the first video that provided a detailed explanation and a process that would allow me to not only focus on where it is needed. It is very easy for me to tell I lack mobility, but now you have provided me a way to test where the actual problem resides and start a directed approach for corrections. I am looking forward to doing the testing this evening, and actually starting on my path to more mobility. Amazing video.. thank you for your time and effort putting this together.

@jacobcosquer Год назад

Learnt a lot through the production of this video and creating the 3D Anatomy and now I know far too much about shoulders but this will be super helpful in my own handstand journey, within sports and other movements. Also there are hardly any other anatomy diagrams or models going to full range of motion throughout the internet!

I thought i knew shoulders… truth hurts, but I can’t wait to truly test what is holding my shoulder flexion back. Thank you for this incredible free content.

@Matthewismith Год назад

Happens to me all the time... I have consults with researchers every week and I'm constantly blown away with how much I didn't quite realise. It's how we get better. The more you learn the more you realise you don't know. It's trite but true. Thanks for the kind words - feel free to get in touch if you have any questions with it!

@KrisNaun Год назад

Been improving my shoulder ROM a LOT after a proper assessment from your video. However, after years of partial ROM pullups, my lats are still limiting factor for me (130-140 degree flexion in leahy test). Are there any good stretches for the lats to where you can easily track progress? The pole stretch is awesome, but hard to track progress. Any tip or reference would be much appreciated

@matthewneuman8663 Год назад

This was by far, the most logical, simple explanation of shoulder mechanics I've seen. I've struggled with motivation to fix my shoulder mobility for almost a decade, mostly due to the confusion, contradictory information out there. Matthew's evaluations make so much sense...I can't wait to get going after I'm cleared from my RC repair.

@Matthewismith Год назад

@jameswilsonmusic7749 10 месяцев назад

@jimmahgee Год назад

Oh my god, the bit about the lat stretching at around 11:30 is so cool. I climb twice a week and love overhead pulling movements, but yoga poses and stretches I've found online for the lats never really do much for me - they just don't elicit a stretch response. About 6 months ago I happened to figure out that if I sit in a wide-legged child's pose and walk waaaaaay over to one side, I get a stretch. After 30 - 45 seconds the response dissipates, so I twist my spine to create rotation and the stretch then moves into the lower back. This is almost EXACTLY the same as what you show in the video and it now makes perfect sense why the stretch works so effectively for me. For anyone else watching who would prefer to be able to do the lat stretch on the floor instead of a doorway or pole, I hope this helps!!

@Matthewismith Год назад

Nice one for intuitively figuring that out - now you know the theory 🤙the real magic with the pillar version is when you push with the free hand. It's hard to beat.

I'm sitting here with an icepack on my shoulder, watching this video. You really opened my eyes. I've been plagued by shoulder pains for years, and watching this video helped me understand why. I've recently started working on rings, and I absolutely love it. I've learned a lot about my shoulders during that time too, because the rings have actually made it better. Now I also know why. I've always loved flexibly training, but I spent most of my time on legs. I didn't realize I could do the same for my shoulders. I'm really excited to get back to the gym now, to try a lot of new stuff. I even watched this video twice. Thanks :) Subscribed.
