This couldn’t have come at a better time. I wouldn’t mind a shin splint video is that’s something you have good info on. I know fitz struggled with it during his squat run. How ankle mobility benefits or negatively affects running etc

instructions unclear, stuck in bottom

Watched a lot of your stuff and never knew you guys taught classes and stuff! This is really cool. More of this kind of thing would be great. Thanks guys! You're fantastic.

[@bentapio]

Great video. Going to try some of these for myself and see how my hips hold up.

[@sikastrength]

Please let us know 🙏

[@zachboskovich6616]

Thank you!

[@adamthomson1192]

Great content, so useful alongside the programming you provide.

[@chadliampolley6991]

Wish I was in passport position/in Europe in order to be able to attend one of these!
Sadly I'm tucked away in the bottom of Africa.
So, to state, thanks so much for even just posting this for us who could not be there... :)

[@sikastrength]

Maybe we'll get to SA some day... probably for hunting 🤣

Damn. The first minute of the video being random still image made me refresh the video repeatedly, given how for the past few days the videos image has randomly frozen on youtube.
I hate nothing more than the quad/hip flexor stretch against the wall on the left side. I literally can't get up from leaning the chest on the right knee. It's insane how painful and limited that position is for me. Like just lying chest on the knee is already a big stretch. I feel for all of them, being told torso up and no support from hands.
I suppose some therapists manually move the limbs just to avoid that unconscious and natural push + compensation of people so they can make more informed evaluations. I've tried them on myself and learned how easy it is to compensate in a way that it's not visible and you don't even realise it. Like doing the knee to chest, unless I tuck the pelvis so that the hip bones touch the floor, I don't know that my pelvis is tilted so that the right side hip bone wouldn't touch the floor at all. And pretty strong anterior pelvic tilt. Lifting the hamstring/knee from the floor while pulling the other one to chest, as if trying to sneakily do a happy baby yoga pose. Sure that gets my knees to chest and is barely noticeable, but doesn't inform about the range differences that much. And only by stopping the test the moment it's not completely relaxed, with any resistance, I started seeing the magnitude of the imbalance in ranges.
Difficult stuff to observe, even more difficult to change. At least based on the anecdotal experience of having done exercises for a couple of years and still having noticeable bias to one side of the body. But at least I have a very deep squat despite.
Good stuff!

epic content

[@niallberrington7252]

Great video, would love to see the rest of this session

[@sikastrength]

We touched on ankle work but we'll do a different vide on that later!

[@wearetheremnants1615]

Is there any hope for people who have shattered ankles from bad breaks and also worn out knees ? I've got both problems 😅

[@paulsohns3930]

Exactly what i need. Without dipping i am weak out of the hole. Once Sika Press concludes and its only Pull i will focus on these things to lay a good foundation for the next run of the Road to Anywhere.

[@sikastrength]

SIKA PRESS 2.0 ON THE WAY 🥰

[@farmari87]

Can you plz comment on nordic leg curls and do you find it beneficial for improving squat? I feel it much more efficient than any other exercise I have done, specifically for squats.

[@markolsen7946]

the bar on the quad is suprisingly painful

[@sikastrength]

Incredibly so

[@kendrick541]

Moment for algo

[@sikastrength]

Thank you!

[@kwinkeo]

Is it fisheye lens effect or are your arms about as long as your legs?! Like, is your humerus longer than your shin... Baffling. And congrats

[@sikastrength]

My arms aren't as short as you might expect but that's the lens too 🤣

This is some SquatU nonsense.

not every sport is based on doing 3 movements, and even for powerlifters this could be really helpfull
