Reading CC2 really opened my eyes as he explains the difference between flexibility (ROM under external force) and mobility (the ability to move yourself). Therefore, mobility is based on strength. Your shoulder mobility exercise really is an excellent example. Thanks for showing!
I used to do what I call a figure-four stretch passively and I would barely see any results if at all, but recently I started using my strength to pull myself into the movement and I'm almost able to touch my toes with both hands. But not just with both hands, but my opposite hand reaching over the rest of my body

For sure, that's why I coach clients who like to do static stretches to still keep a little tension in the muscles at that end range of motion to improve the "muscle confidence'
I used to do something similar, basically dynamic ranges of motion after exercise. Try to do full ranges of motion of each of your various body parts. Is actually a decent way to hit all your muscles
Very good. I like it. I heard this once..."ever seen a cat lazing about & the next thing it jumps & runs...it didnt stretch before it ran.." always made me wonder.
you can't imagine how much is this inspiring for me. i can't get in a straight arm overhead position and I'd really like to get the handstand done, but at the moment i can't even get in that position not even against the wall! gonna definitely try this, thank you!
I went through this year's ago. Glad to see someone else gets it. Being a type a personality stretching, sleep, T.V., video games, fiction reading and etc all seem unproductive.
When I bounce and move and swing during stretches I open up more and the results last. When I tried yin yoga, where you basically just flop into a pose and passively hold it for what feels like one hundred years, it just felt uncomfortable and tight.
I've wasted so much time sitting in a static straddle stretch.. Up to 20mins at a time due to some recommendations! Couldn't stand up straight after and did nothing for my side splits! And my shoulders are like yours used to be (from what u said). I have CC2 but havent looked at it in ages. Will do again now though and watch ur other vids. Cheers man.
Always great info. and always learning new things from you, things that i can apply straight away after watching which i can feel will work, thanks for the content its a great channel.
You're welcome Declan, information without applicable take aways is just entertainment. That's why my goal with every video is to give you some real value you can use to immediately improve your training.
100% agree! stretching does absolutely nothing for me. I've said this for a long time. Instead i've being doing band Y raises, T poses, band dislocations, band pull aparts with external rotation and other external rotation exercises with band to my shoulders and wall slides and have improved my shoulder mobility very well and stability at the same time.
and for my hips i do deep bodyweight squats everyday and overhead squats. And i stopped stretching my hip flexors which are very tight, (i have a slight anterior pelvic tilt) and those stretches only makes my hips hurt, so instead i do glute bridges with long holds on top so i get good glute activation and strengthening and good stretch on my hip flexors at the same time. Now my lower back feels much better
Thank you Matt, Thru my own experience, i have excelled in the Tension and relaxation method. I think the technical term is Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF). Hold an isometric hold of tension to the trigger point of the muscle wanting to relax then release it. It enable to reach the front and middle splits.
I wonder if that's sort of a middle ground between the two. I've played with that method before, and it's helped in the moment but not sure if it helped long term. Then again, I didn't do it for more than a few weeks.
Maybe a mobility strength layer could be added to the grind style pyramid... I've found that I sometimes enjoy forms of stretching (dynamic, strength based) as a warm up to my workouts, especially being that I can sometimes be tight/sore from practicing martial arts. I'd love to see some more basic active mobility exercises from you Matt, I feel it'll add a lot more to my training and possibly even the grind style method for some people.
That's actually very much what the stability phase is all about actually. It's all about controlling and exploring your range of motion in multiple planes.
Hey Matt, great video - interesting tip! What about your leg stretches? Especially for doing high kicks in taekwondo like a high dollyo or yeop chagi? How do you use this method in that case?
Yep, most of my kicks have been improved by strengthening my hips more than flexibility. Exercises, like the leg raises and hip move in this video made my kicks much stronger and higher than any degree of stretching. check out this video for more: czcams.com/video/m2yewkYW54A/video.html
Interesting topic. For people like me who try to get back to strength workouts after years of sedentary behavior, mobility is a stumbling block. I've been looking into ways to address it: yoga and/or gymnasticbodies foundation one which integrates mobility especially from the point of view of sedentary older populations. I really don't want to just stretch though, but want to have focused mobility workouts to aid specific strength workouts while protecting joints and tendons. Anyway, I think this is an interesting niche issue for sedentary folks.
For sure, I think working on the strength and range of motion of basic moves, esp. things like squats will do much more for your mobility than any amount of static stretching for sure
Great video. Mobility workouts will be big in the future, taking the place of stretching and yoga, IMHO. Vitamin C can help prevent muscle/tendon/ligament injuries because it is heavily involved with collagen production and maintenance. If your muscles aren't just a supple at rest as they can be hard at full tension and you work out regularly, you need at least a gram of vitamin C or more a day to help support your soft tissues.
Chronic tension, or any sort, is often due to something else in the body not working to balance out the forces on the body. Sure, you can get some temporary relief by trying to stretch and relax the muscle, but its usually just a bandaid. I suggest looking to the antagonist muscles, like the ones in the front of the neck and the depression back muscles like your lat and lower traps.
I feel like animal walk like bear and duck walk should keep the mobility and strength in check. Also some brigdges to finish it off. That is my routine.
What about stretching after a workout? I do it myself because it feels good and is relaxing but not sure what benefit there is to it other than the relaxation itself. Do you do or recommend anything as a cool down after a workout, Matt?
Meh, One in a while I run across someone who loves it, but again, unless it can progressively make you more loose and limber in your normal state it's just metaphorically running in place.
Yoga is as big as Calisthenics. If you dont like the part of passive stretching in Yoga then dont do it and do active ones instead. Its how I am doing it.
How would be your advice for stretching the legs using a similar approach? Like if I want to get flexible enough to do those high kick from taekwondo or open a split like a ballerina?
I would go with the Bodyweight Training for Martial Arts for sure. (www.amazon.com/dp/B07RFHS1NB) the shifting and isometric work in it will do wonders for that Mobility and strength in weaknesses that may be holding you back

I know this is an old video. But I hope you’ll see this comment. I find this topic very interesting because I am extremely tight, especially when it comes to the toe touch or lifting my leg without bending the knee. I can’t touch my toes, not even close or kick above knee height with my leg straight and I’ve been like this my entire life and I have tried stretching. I’ve done stretching programs many times with no effect could you please give me some specifics about how to gain flexibility in that motion. Or is there already a video you could point me towards. Thanks
Yo yo Mike, and thanks for checking out my stuff. As I mentioned, the stiffness is a reaction to a lack of strength and stability in the surrounding muscles as a protective measure. So your mission is to create more stability in strength in your posterior chain, particularly your hamstrings and hips. I recommend starting out with my Grind Style workouts that promote more tension control and stability in every workout. you can check out my book, Grind Style Calisthenics (amzn.to/32TQhQh) plus the workouts in the Grind Style Calisthenics Playlist.
Hi matt. If you are feeling beat up, achy and you've got some joints hurting, is there sense in either scaling back or pressing pause on your strength and muscle building training and devoting yourself to a rehab/mobility routine like the trifecta from co2, to fix you up(hopefully) and iron out some kinks, muscle imbalances etc. I know this is a subjective and broad question and I hope I am making sense. Or would going back one or two progressions on your movements while doing the trifecta be of benefit as well?? Like incline pushups and rows, knees tucks and shoulder stand squats etc, to take the pressure off said problems and allowing the trifecta to do its job. God I hope I'm making sense and not rambling like a loon lol. Hope you and your family are doing well
Thanks jon, I've learned that a lot of my aches and pains come from not having enough sleep and forcing myself to stick to a strict routine in an unstable lifestyle. Now I'm taking a more flexible approach, and implementing the strategies you mentioned and it's helps a great deal. Thank you!
U r right.Flexibility(natural range of motion) is not stretching(pulling with external forces).It is like making a child do something he does not want.
Im doin 5-10min of dynamic stretching every time i got time during my day. Do u think i can improve my flexibility with this “stretching grease the groove”? Im doin this for 1month alrdy and i got visible results!my goal now is achieving middle split,shoulders,hips mobility
The best ankle flexion method I know of is deep lunges. getting into the deepest lunge you can as if you're trying to get your butt to the back of your heel.

Not the sleep through, it's one of the most productive things you can do.

How do you stretch hamstrings using this method? (Btw, thx for the excellent videos!! Watch you every day, works wonders!)
Try L sit.It stretches hamstrings nicely☺.BTW,V sits r fucking harder and it stretches hamstrings even more
its not using this method but i greatly suggest doing the Jefferson curl. you become a lot more flexible while having stronger hamstrings.
@@sieger358 L sit and V sit do not stretch hamstrings at all, in fact tight hams hinder progress in these two movements

Awesome vídeo, Matt :)
For, say a front kick, should I aim to keep tension in the quads or the hammies holding the leg in the air? 🤔
Do dynamic stretching warming up, then doing the move in reps and sets (2x50 reps of frint kicks) and relax it bybstatic stretching when done.
I think v sits will be the best here.
A little of both, but more in the quads for that extra "snap"
Thanks Matt :)

Hi matt,
How do i apply this to stretching for a straight leg L-sit?
