Back bridges are severely underrated - and a sign of youth. But what happens when it feels impossible? Here is additional information for the 3 listed steps: 1️⃣ Due to excess sitting and weak upper back muscles, the average person has a thoracic spine that feels stuck in place. Pullovers help undo years, if not decades, poor posture. Unlike the back bridge, they can be progressively overloaded easily, and the sky’s the limit for pullover strength and flexibility. This is a movement you cannot be too good at. 2️⃣ Progressing the back bridge itself takes time. It’s a good idea to progress your pullover to a decent level before attempting back bridge prep. A good bridge is build on a good pullover. Deep breathing during any stage of the back bridge can help drastically loosen up deeper spine and core muscles 3️⃣ I believe every movement done in a program should always have a counter movement to facilitate structural balance. This is known as agonist, antagonist pairing in strength training. Abdominal flexion plays a critical roll in overall spinal function Let me know if you have any questions!
Bro can you help me buy a shoe worth 42 $ dollar only ❤ I can't afford it 😢 I want to qualify army running, please ❤❤that shoe named (NIKE men's zoomx vaporfly ) I am from India ❤❤😮
Because we usually stop doing it, if you don’t use it you loose it. I’m in my 40’s and I can still do it some days. But the days I can’t do it it’s because I’ve been at my desk half the day and haven’t stretched or exercised.
Love your videos. I especially like it when you spend time to correct our form when doing simple exercises. It is so harmful when we just watch videos and ape them without the correct form and guidance. My friends (mostly women in their 50s and 60s ) have all messed up their joints and muscles in the leg, back and neck by just going to the gym and doing random exercises while wearing the wrong shoes. I like your videos because you cover the exact points that we discuss and tge issues tvat we fear. We don't have trainers in the gym near us. All they have for us is scanning a code with our phone app and then we get on the machine with intro video. Not the best option inmy opinion and so im scared to do try out too much. Equipment is also very intimidating to us. I would love if you contining making more videos with basic weights and machines to help women like me. Thank you so much for such helpful content. ❤ God bless.
Wow this video is perfect, thanks for the breakdown and explaination I will certainly be trying to get to a full backbend now. Got any glute excercizes that hit the inner thigh muscles?
do you train spine / back rotations? - I'm working on my program (training all joint movements related to football by applying ATG principles) & looking for your way of training spine rotations, but you never showed them?
Thanks for the kind words brother - it’s an honor to help 🙏🏼 some family matters have gotten in the way in the last few months, and I can’t wait to pump out content again!
I thought it was common knowledge that children are naturally more flexible and with years you become stiffer, especially joints But I know why I specifically can't bridge, despite being flexible enough: Cubital tunnel
Flexible =\= weak and strong =\= inflexible. Human physiques just adapt optimally for their day-to-day tasks and since most adults don’t train their flexibility they lose it
