Cook Hip Lift vs Band - THIRSTgym.com
The Cook Hip Lift vs Band is a mobility and activation based drill to strengthen the glutes and hamstrings, while having the hip flexors relax. This helps "unlock" tight hips and prepare the body for lower body activities. This is a similar exercise as a glute bridge, but can further improve mobility. It works best as a warm up or a lower level exercise for beginners and youth athletes getting into strength training.

Hey bro Have you studied with Bill Hartman?
@joshtapiwa541 I've not been in the intensive, but I was part of IFASTU with Bill and Mike Robertson for 2 years, and have taken several courses with Alex Effer and Conor Harris (who got their material from Bill Hartman). So I'm really familiar with his model (still always trying to learn and improve upon it though!).
@@bsmitley sounds good bro. I can tell from your content. Its good stuff
@@joshtapiwa541 appreciate it! 🙏
Great explanation. Ty

Hey brandon, love your video explaining it. Quick question, i practice bjj about 4 days week. I am trying to gear this more towards hypertrophy at least for like a 3-4 month block. My question is how do i progressively overload for that block. Do i add volume each week ?
Thanks for the question. My suggestion would be to use high rep DB and back work. I would progress that volume on the same accessories for your full wave before swapping exercises. For example on DB Bench and Chest Supported DB Rows: Wk 1 - 3x12 Wk 2 - 3x15 Wk 3 - 4x12-15 Wk 4 - 4x15-20 Likey the same weight each week, but aiming to get more reps each session. This would yield about a double in training volume in a month...and you could do this with several exercises if needed.
Happy birthday dude 👍
Thanks!!

Definitely trying this. I’ve been laying over a stability ball almost all day and it has helped so much in 2 days. (Probably shouldn’t do it all day lol). I have really bad rounded shoulders and swayback, previously had ATP

Hi, Thanks for the video… Really interested about this subject, a lot of mixed opinions out there regarding the matter. 7:50- you talk about studies that have been done about this, can you please tell us where you have found this information? Maybe a link to the study? Thanks
Thanks for watching! I knew I should have placed this in the description 🤦♂️ But here you go! www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6159498/

Hey, Brandom Smitley , I recently came across your CZcams channel and was impressed by the quality of your content. However, after conducting a comprehensive analysis, I noticed there is room for improvement for your CZcams channel to get more visitors and subscribers. • Your Video Title and description needs to be improved • You need to use more relevant tags and keywords • Organic promotion of Top social media • High-ranking tag setup (keyword, hashtag) If you want I can do a free CZcams channel audit for you for your better understanding.
Great video Brandon!
Thanks Emma!
I was very impressed with your intake process and your overall assessments and accuracies there in!
Thanks Brian!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Thanks 😢
Thanks for watching!
This is awesome Brandon, thanks! I've got some injury accumulation over the last couple years and your points about starting the session focusing on those weaknesses and sources of injury are a better frame of mind for me to start from when planning my programs
Thanks! Glad you were able to use that. That's usually the "unsexy" part of training ha.
@@bsmitley dude when I crossed over 30 I realized that unsexy stuff is the key to doing this into actual old age
@@TheKLeifheit13 I would 100% agree. I do more maintenance stuff over the course of a week than actual hard lifting.

Great walk though🔥
Thanks man!
Who thought it was a good idea to make a video about the perfect pushup without showing a single perfect pushup? That guy should be fired 😂
Probably should watch the linked video.
Sleep for sure!
The parent life, right?! 😂
Looks like one of those exercises that is hard for guys with tight muscles and rubbish shoulder mobility. My powerlifting coach has prescribed them. Ah well time to give them a go.
😂😂 Definitely one of those exercises
Excellent guide!
Thanks Seth!
Sorry, I figured it out. Great video. Have a good holiday.
Thank you, you too!
NO SOUND
Pls re-post with sound.
From my end there is sound. Are you talking about the audio glitches? If so, I believe I found the issue and shouldn't be a problem for future videos.
i also shitted
💩
Two #2s. What a day.
i shitted
Interesting.
I love these, been doing them for a few years. With both bands and straight weight. I will.do them to pins. The light up my electors! And seeing this video is encouraging because I haven't seen a tone of people do them online or atleast not with alot of weight. But this is encouraging reminder to keep pressing on. Thank you
You're welcome, thanks for watching. I give these to quite a few clients myself. Especially when it's clear their low and mid back is what's limiting their deadlift.
Great stuff! Just a quick heads up the audio has some issues during the jm press and decline skull crusher parts
Thanks. I realized this after uploading and couldn't figure out what I did 😂 It's a new setup, so I'm going to be tinkering a bit more this weekend. Hopefully I get it ironed out. Appreciate it!
you mentioned iso yielding but is it iso overcoming?
Thanks for the question. It would really depend on the movement and how it's applied. Iso yielding would be like pulling or pushing into pins. The overcoming would be then removing the pins, or doing a similar exercises afterwards. This could also be something like a pause squat or chair deadlift.
LOVE IT
Thanks Brent!
Optimal😊
Thanks for watching 🙏
Hey Brandon, love your content. Thanks for breaking things down so clearly. Keep it up!
Thanks, I really appreciate it!
Fantastic video! Inspired my purchase of a 2004 with 26k miles. Like you said, it's FAST! I know you said, you're not a mechanic or Viper expert, but I do have a question that you can answer from your own experience. My 2004 clicks and creaks when I'm backing up or pulling into my uneven parking space while turning the steering wheel. Not when I'm driving on the road, etc. I've been told Gen3 Vipers have so much power and steering flex during low speed steering on bumpy ground, that it's normal and common. Have you personally ever heard noises while parking or steering over driveway or parking lot entrances? Thank you for sharing your amazing video:))) I love my 2004 Viper too!!!
Thanks! It can be a bit noisy at times. I just make sure my fluids are always good to go each season and stay on the maintenence schedule per the book of the car. So certainly noiser than most cars, but nothing that's ever had me concerned. Enjoy the ride! 🐍
Hi, this came across random in my videos. There was a lot of helpful information for people just getting into the sport. Thank you so much for being spot on with the timeframe of the competition meets!! It’s truly amazing how long a day can be if the meet Director is unorganized, or if sheot just happens. Commenting here for the Algo. 💪
Greatly appreciated! Thanks for watching 🙏
Glad you didn’t show us the workout and just talked the whole time
All my exercise index videos show how to perform the movement, but also explain how to program and implement. If anything, knowing HOW to use an exercise in context of a program and training goal is just as important, if not more important than just the execution of the exercise itself. Showing how to use a hammer is useless if you're going to use said hammer with a screw instead of a nail.
great video, thanks
Thanks for watching!
Hey Brandon, awesome video, quick question, do you reccomend using the same variation for 2 weeks for the deadlift? So the dynamic week preps the max effort week?
That's what I typically do, yes. So in a 4 week cycle, you'll get 2 max effort pulls, aiming to break a PR the second time around.
