@@wixked72 Basically yes. In their 20s they tell you mobility and functional workout is for simps, 20 years later they end up in a wheelchair like Ronnie Coleman. Only that they skip the whole Mr. Olympia thing and go straight from gym bro to crooked. 😂😂
OMG this could finally be the reason which makes problems at overhead press and many other exercises for years now! I tried so much shoulder mobility and stuff but nothing worked, i never thought about the lats causing this problems...
Invaluable 👏🏾 I’ve trained for decades but as I get older there’s still areas I’ve neglected along with paying for the muscle imbalances that have built …. Great work, liked✅ subscribed✅
@@madmatt1414 I mean it depends. I know some people who do 10 pull ups in the morning just to wake up. If you only do 10, you may well do them every day. But if you're training anywhere close to fatique, then pull ups every day is insanity.
This is SO me doing pullups way too often and get tight lats... good thing that I already have the mobility 2.0. Thanks for the reminder and for the amazing content as usual!!!!
1:25 Passed! Good to know, because today is Back / Pull day. I shouldn't be surprised; channels like yours have been a fantastic source of information.
Holy moly. The timing of this video. I have a mysterious pain in shoulder since September. Tried the test this morning and I was not even close to touch the wall. I did couple of exercises they suggested and I am immediately feeling better. I'll cancel the chiropractor appointment and purchase this program.
Thanks 👍 gonna start doing some more standard barbell rows to try activate the upper back more, my mid traps are already experiencing juicy doms. Would not happen with my neutral grip pull ups!
I was about 4 inches from wrist to wall on the mobility check. After 2-3 mins of lat stretches I could put my wrists on the wall. Now I know I have tight lats. Thanks!
Love you work guys! I've been thinking about installing a home made pull up bar, I wanted to know what's the ideal diameter for the pull up bar, does the diameter really matter and if so what's an ideal size for a beginner? I have learnt a lot from you guys. I appreciate the work you do💪❗
The lat stretch can also be done just on the floor. go on your knees, feet flat on the ground (like japanese/asian ppl sit). bend over and stretch your arms as far as possible, touch the ground with your hands. now move your hands to the side until you've reached your mobility limit and then simply try to lean into the opposite direction. nicely stretches the lat without the need for anything but a flat ground.
As always great video! If the new mobility program didn't require equipment for some of the exercises I'd get it. I just can't afford the equipment off their site yet
Well you don't need that much equip. Most of the exercises can be done without it. You only need a broomstick or towel and something to hang from (pullup bar for example).
Only few people are aware of the fact that the lats are somewhat inward rotating your shoulders. So it's definitly not a good idea to let them get too short 👍
I cannot stress enough how great of a exercise/stretch are wall angels... I have been battling posture all my life and they are essential every day, multiple times a day. You can do the moving one but I just do the static one with my elbows at 90 degrees with back of the wrists pressing into the wall and of course the chin is tucked in as well getting that essential neck stretch. This combo of mid thoracic spine work and neck work is I think what makes this the best alongside the fact its really hard exercise to mess up. Trust me 2 sets of 30 seconds few times a day will activate the muscles in your spine and neck properly and will set your posture up for the rest of the day which is where actual work on improving posture happens; you gotta engage properly throughout the day. Trust me if you have really bad midback issues and forward head(this two always come in combo) I would avoid all others because most likely you will have imbalanced muscles and will do more damage than good. Just do these and watch your posture throughout the day and you will be amazed at results.
@@Ireliairan That means you are really in bad place. I was there too. Even today on some day I dont feel those muscles as much as I should feel them which means I didnt pay attention to my posture as much as I should. Workyourself up by retracting you shoulders back, pulling your head back work slowly do as you can dont force because you will injury yourself. But if you start minding your posture daily and do these excercises along with other back excercises, avoid any pecs activating ones as pushups. Slowly you will progress.
Well can also leave the shoulder damage or at least shoulder weaknesses. That's why days that I press horizontal I also wrote and days that I press overhead&/dip I pull up. I do mostly train strongman and powerlifting, so I will do them in cluster sets, not separately, so you really should be pulling the same weight you are pressing in the horizontal plane just like you should be hip thrusting more weight than you squat&deadlift. Your hips and shoulders need strong stable and mobile movement
I thought I had good back and shoulder mobility, that is, good lats mobility. The test where you squat against the wall and try to put your wrists to the wall with your arms extended above the head showed me that there is room to improve. It's been a lazy three months, it's time to get back into training, and to remember the mobility course that I've bought, but never finished.
If you know after watching this video that you realistically won't do the stretching exercises past new years resolution days anyways, you might consider just dead hanging for a while after back workout, ofc that will be less effective, but at least you have some kind of stretch in your routine that releases tension and also is very good for grip strength endurance.
I have un even lats, i have my right lat bigger than my left one, and my right arm is strong then my left. Any tips to the work out community?? It would help alot.
Hi Sir , Thank you very much for making these useful videos . 2 days ago I got a pain on my back I was not doing any exercise for a week and then 3 days ago I started doing planks and I did 1:30 minutes at a time and then 1 minute. Yesterday while doing plank I got some inflammation on my back and then when I stopped , it started to hurt on my back .
Hey guys, at 7:05 is that scapula winging at the top of push-up? Mine looks similar so I'm wondering if it is normal, or winging (The protruding corner above shoulders)
I'm doing the mobility program 1.0 and the complete calisthenics program at the same time. Currently at week 19 in the calisthenics program next week and if you do the mobility flow first and do it good, you will be warm up enough to get to the workout immediately after.
My brachioradialis is sore when doing rows and pullups. Only in my right arm, I'm guessing from constant fatigue using a keyboard and playing an instrument. How can I fix this so or I am stuck with it forever? I've switched to chin ups, but rows are still difficult (I do them in neutral hand position). I am lucky if I can complete 2 sets of rows before completely fatiguing it.
I think my last are super tight but I have a really high range of motion so I pass the tight lats test w/flying colors & need to stretch pretty far to release it
I look exactly like 4:35 when doing pull ups. And I cannot depress my shoulders. I try to but they don't go down, those muscles are weak. How can I fix this? 😀

He's tucking like a turtle on the inside

I've had tight lats forever and this is a very important video. Especially if you workout at home most back exercises are with the pullup bar
moo moo moo moo moo

Thanks for this video.
tremendous value

great, thank you!
Thank you for this video
I love your videos!
Thank you guys
everytime even before the video starts, i like the video
The rotator cuff exercise variants you showed look very promising. I only knew about face pulls and a couple others
You really possess the science of muscles, mvt, posture and know how to deliver it in a simple and efficient way. Many thanks for teaching us.
This happened to me exactly like you said, after years of the same movements
I really like how he explain it clearly.
yeah, this explains my lack of motion in overhead exersizes
great stuff danke sehr
Thanks 👍 gonna start doing some more standard barbell rows to try activate the upper back more, my mid traps are already experiencing juicy doms. Would not happen with my neutral grip pull ups!
Epic fail with that lat flexibility test. I’ll definitely be using those stretches. Thanks 🙏
pull ups and rows is my warmup before climbing
I hope you can do a leg training using own bodyweight from D rank to S rank like the other past videos. Thank you for noticing! ♥️🔥
Nice video can u make other but explain the muscles trapezoids and calistenics exercices for they
This is really helpful. I was wondering what is wrong with my lats and now i know and I need to work on their flexibility. Thanks
True true but I needed this video 10 years ago🤣
I was about 4 inches from wrist to wall on the mobility check. After 2-3 mins of lat stretches I could put my wrists on the wall. Now I know I have tight lats. Thanks!
Same here, but it's not only the lats. Mobility sux all around. Sad. 😭😭

So muscles get shorter? Interesting....so Uhr Point of attachment moves in some mysterious way eh?
@@thisguy7031 no, but they get tighter as you train them.

@@mrfatuchi thanks for advice i will work on it !
I do warm ups on rings and it helps me a lot
This is how I messed up my shoulders, now fixing my shoulders and core with lots of small movements and mobility exercises
Foam rolling lats is so painful it makes me want to puke

Sir, can you put series of videos for beginner how to start , how to reach the step by step level calisthenics and food.
how bout the rotating leg/knee raises?Those put insane stretch on the lats. Just move your hips left and right while hanging onto the bar.
the problem with knowing more is now i got a new problem to work on :,)
great video. I'm pretty good at pullups, but makes my lats so tight
Earlier exposure to this info may have saved me from inury. Lots of mobility work to do.
If you know after watching this video that you realistically won't do the stretching exercises past new years resolution days anyways, you might consider just dead hanging for a while after back workout, ofc that will be less effective, but at least you have some kind of stretch in your routine that releases tension and also is very good for grip strength endurance.

dumbell pullovers are pretty good for this. keep your feet up and abs engaged while you do it so you cant comensate by arching the back

When I do that wall test, I feel blocked by my scapula/mid-back, rather than tight lats 🤷♂️

traps and middle back > lats > chest, this should be your prioriety in terms of longevity
I think my last are super tight but I have a really high range of motion so I pass the tight lats test w/flying colors & need to stretch pretty far to release it
Or I'm just overtraining them????? Oh fuck
Yup wow ok
I think doing chin-ups wouldn't cause all that issues compared to the pull ups
Most people don’t hurt what is shown. Good luck on this video.
