Doing this for the last week and really feel my core after it. But when I put the weight in my left hand, I have some trouble to stay perfectly stable and feel some pain in my right knee .. what can I do ? Simply drop the weight? Wouldn't it create an imbalance? Thank you !
Love the content you share with us, I have been able to gain some strength and I have been able to fix my squat techniques from your videos. Excited to add this core work to my program. Thank you SquatU!
Remember to walk back and forth for at least 85-95 seconds to feel the movement. The idea of time under tension applies to a degree from what I understand but this movement is better with more time. Weight has to be enough to walk 100-125 meters or 85-95 seconds with good posture
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and helping everyone maintain their health while becoming better and stronger lifters. I appreciate people like you so much as someone who could not afford to buy access to this information.
I just found this video and I'm going to add this immediately. I also need improved grip strength in my deadlifts so I hope this helps me out. How did it help for you?
@@sidneyboakye4662 I added more mobility work and core. I don't have any lowback pain anymore in squats and deadlifts. My grip strength shot thru the roof. Use chalk. When doing grip stuff, use hands. For deadlifts use straps for heavy stuff so your grip doesn't limit you. Eventually, your grip will catch up to your leg strength.
This is so helpful! Reminded me of Ed Coan's suitcase holds. Currently dealing with what I believe a costochondritis which limits me to hit abs. Did this and it worked my core without feeling the chest/rib pain! Thank you!
Aaron, it would be great if you could put together a video on the ancillary things to do to support your deadlift and squat. Items would be ideal on the off weeks from those lifts and also in addition to them during the same week of training. My other request I put in that I think would be really helpful would be a specific from squat warmup. I know there is a back squat warmup but there are nuances this could address to make it a better lift day/experience. Thanks, Andy
The same for swimming freestyle and Backstroke, its a new discover and one of the interesting Part of the VITS Principle - Swim Training Evolution - developing full stiff and stabile full body lenght performing and acting.
It’s hard to believe that twice the weight is harder but it’s definitely true. I can feel my core muscles working sooooooo much more. Especially my QL #SquatUclub
Quality stuff, I tweaked my si joint badly a few years ago deadlifting. Suprisingly, working these rehabbed it to the extent that a single session would actually get me out of pain. It was like locking down the opposite side and then moving under load seemed to reset the joint.
The main lifts are more intense and demanding, so you should do them first when you have the most energy. Assistance work is better done after the big lifts since they are less intense.
its very strange, i would think the body oppossite of the weight would want to reach the floor as soon as possible so it can stabilize the weight as technically none of the muscles on the weighted side are keeping the weight in their center of balance.
Thank you very much for this video. Would you recommend this exercise as a part of a rehab protocole for a gluteus medius tendinopathy? Or is it too aggressive? I am also applying your tips from the video dedicated to this problem, and the results have been great so far.
What is the breathing pattern followed during these walks ?Doctor Horschig I would also like to thank you for your efforts and sharing with us the three great big 3s by Doctor S McGill.
Amazing content, as always! Really do appreciate it. Could you maybe do a video about high hamstring tendinopathy? It´s really keeping me from progressing with any exercise with hip flexion.
- Not a fan of the use of the word “imbalances”, they aren’t actually relevant to most people. It’s just a scary word that makes people think they are more fragile than they actually are. Similarly with phrases like “weak links”. Look up the definition of the nocebo effect - exercises do not reduce the risk of injury unless it is making the person stronger, that’s the only finding that is relevant in the current data. So the bodyweight/kettlebell core stability exercises may not be that useful for elite athletes as they are already strong. They would need a larger does of stress in order to make them stronger. More so with the bodyweight exercises. - the suitcase carry isn’t inherently better just because it’s in a different plane. The principal of specificity would dictate if you’re going to do “core” work, exercises that look similar to a barbell athletes main movements would be most valuable. - overall the video seemed pretty harmless apart from the use of buzzwords like “imbalances”
Hi Dr. I just started doing farmers walk and push ups only. I have a bad lower bicep(by insde elbow) and can't lift anymore and tried this. It has minimal pain so I do suitcase and farmers carry for about 35 minutes and 80 pushups every other day. Would you know of another exercise I could try to add that would be low on pain or damaging tendon more? I am 51 years old if that matters. Thank you and nice information!
Interesting video and great exercise idea, but are you confusing directions and planes? In biomechanics there are, as I understood it, three planes of motion: Sagittal, Transverse and Frontal. This walk resists frontal plane motion as you move in a horizontal direction using sagittal plane of motion at hip knee and ankle. But if you watch his lifting technique as he jumps the feet out, the abduction at the hips is frontal. So wouldn’t you ideally need an exercise that resists transverse and frontal movements around the spine whilst allowing frontal in the hips and effective vertical direction of movement? I see there are great benefits in your exercise but is it specific to OL?
Hello Doc, What do you think about the GHD sit up? Would it be dangerous for me to extend my arms, reaching the floor? Really grateful for the contents, thank you!
If I‘ve problems with my core strength, then to keep my upper body upright in the last reps of the last set. Imho this excercise will not help in this case.
my main strength training is KB swings and TGU. How often I should perform this? Every other day? Any recommendations regarding sets/reps? Also, great content, thank you!
Depends on what else you do, but generally TGU is very technique heavy. I like to do them for time, and let the reps fall where they may. KB swings it depends on what precisely you're training for but I wouldn't do more than 20 reps per set. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you're training for jiu jitsu. In which case I would definitely recommend incorporating both of these exercises, particularly the upside down KB carry. Power cleans like twice a week are super cool too.
@@ErickOberholtzer I appreciate the feedback. It is in fact my main training (called Simple and Sinister). I'm practicing 5-6x per week and working towards 10x10 one arm Swings followed by 1x5 TGU per side - each done with 32kg. There is no time limit, pauses betweem sets are determined by a talk test. Both exercises are working the core quite intensly, but I feel I could need some additional oblique work. On the other hand I dont want to do "too much"
great video, could you make one for lower back pain for when you hyperextend the lower back? i have been dealing with this issue since september from deadlifting and its ruining any hope i have of returning.
Doing this for the last week and really feel my core after it. But when I put the weight in my left hand, I have some trouble to stay perfectly stable and feel some pain in my right knee .. what can I do ? Simply drop the weight? Wouldn't it create an imbalance? Thank you !
Is the same for people who has a weak core.... or not strong core ... hope you can understand me ..and help me I have a IT band tight and another on my side hips !!!
limiting reps to 5 on compound lifts especially deadlifts will give you the necessary core strength. Bodybuilding and going heavy and a lot of reps will get you injured. Great exercises though, gonna try them especially the one with the upside down kettlebell. Cheers
As I heard Arnold Schwarzenegger say once "it doesn't matter. Your muscles dont know what your hand is holding." Very true statement. The difference would be when the kettlebell is upside down. That would require more stability than a dumbbell would.
Hey I did some stretching for my hips now I have pain there while walking I didn't stretch for 2 mouths now but it didn't heal Do you have any tips how I can fix it Thank you
