Finally someone who explains it in detail AND backs it up with science! I have been so confused lately about stretching exercises from misinformation. Thank you very much for going the extra length to clarfiy - hugely appreciated!! I also really like your editing and the animations - you just keep getting better. Two thumbs up!
Flu A, I adore CaliMove and think El Eggs and Sven really know and research what they are talking about. I have there home work out protocol and would highly recommend it, super comprehensive and achievable! I’m also right on the verge of deciding to get the mobility course, which also looks awesome. So I a, not trying to doubt anything in this video at all. But I gotta say (and only cause it’s something everyone including me has a tendency to do) as a science communicator and scientist, just be sure to be critical of any “scientific backing” it’s awesome they cited their sources! but it’s only 1 paper and trust me you can find a published paper that while support anything you want if you look around. Sorry to be a downer, now gonna rewind to watch those sick flips again! :) xx
It's amazing how technical and at the same time didactic this video is. I keep thinking to myself how much work and dedication was put on this content. As always, thank you!!!!
Thank you for all the quality content Calimove. You guys are improving my life by giving me the tools/education I need to overcome my injuries and for that I am so greatful
Thanks again guys for a very enlightening video! There is one thing that contradicts sth I have learned a while ago regarding the knee flexion: No matter if you perform the toe touch with rounded or straight spine, there cannot be ever any feeling of tension coming from the back of the knees, as this means that not muscles are being stretched, but joints, which shall never be elongated in such scenarios, as excessive joint lengthening can lead to knee issues in the long run. The knees shall be bent in such case to leas the stretch stress to the hamstrings, as they are the main target when performing a touch toe stretch. Thanks!!
I love el eggs movement! So strong and fluid at the same time! I also wish cali move would make a video about tricking and flipping for lowerbody strength!
Great advice. I was doing it too fast. Slowing down and focusing on every link in the chain made reaching my toes seem too easy. You're a great teacher Alex! 😊
Awesome. I love this "medical" information you provide in your newer videos. It is super interesting and easy to understand and remember. Thanks a lot for the great quality content!
This vid is really helpful guys, you are describing most of the guys over 35-40 I know. Not only talking about sedentary guys but also runners or people being fit. I do agree that since I started with calisthenics my back is stronger and I don´t suffer low back pain as before. The guy in blue pants always providing excellency
Congrats, I am doing your mobility program and after one month I can already notice a huge improvement. I really like doing it. You videos are always really well explained! Best regards from Brazil! Rafael
Great content and explanation! Indeed people tend to be afraid to flex the spine and it is safe if you person it controlled and if you go progressively as any other exercise! The video quality is just getting better as well!
Yeah, I'm confused now. But I will always trust Athlean-X more because I've had multiple injuries from training and his vids on the injuries cured them.
Athlean-X is basically saying the exact same thing as said in this video. The title of Athlean-X video was designed to be attractive and make you click on it. The content is way more nuanced than the title. Athlean-X always provides good pieces of advice overall.
Excellent site. Well presented and very professionally educational. On the Touching toes with rounded back I (mistakenly?) firmly believe this exercise caused me a SEVERE SCIATICA INJURY. I normally got to flat hands on the floor, but the last time I managed to suddenly and easily surpass it and do it with bent elbows. It was as if the disk moved (wedged) out of the way allowing my L4 and L5 vertebrae (lower back) more space to bend more. There was no pain until the next day when a very light, (no load) normal twisting movement, while straightening up, pinched the sciatic nerve causing months of severe sciatica. The exercise incident felt like I suddenly got extra hinging from just L4-L5 rather than throughout the whole back. I hear and applaud your cautions to; warm up, go slowly, roll gradually from top down to bottom - all of which I failed to do. My MRI showed no slipped disk, but a "normal" degeneration which means a spall spur / protrusion of growth on the L4-L5 vertebrae, which likely contacted the nerve causing inflammation. "Normal" = for 65 year old. It took 3 months of absolute agony, but is been ok now for another 3 months.
Of course touching your toes is a prerequisite in learning the V-sit and press to handstand. Strength, compression and mobility at the same time. Im working on it right now. Nice video as always Calimove!
Hey Alex, I'm only a new subscriber to your channel and I've been watching all of your older content from a few years ago aswell as the new stuff. I can honestly say I've enjoyed every video I've watched and have taken something valuable from them all. Keep the quality content coming Mate! Cheers, Dave from Australia.
0:37 ... at that moment i have lombar resistance so big that i feel like i´m about to break into 2 pieces. It´s not pain, just resistance. I envy people able to do it, cause in my case it feels like have been on a wheelchair my whole life and now i´m learning to walk again ... Good videos
Wow this video was indeed one of the most helpful I've seen, very insightful! A doubt came to mind though, what kind of injury prevents you from doing certain exercises later on?
hi el eggs,,, please when will we see a gym tour of calimove? ,,, I don't think there is anything else left at this point,,, I mean, what else can be improved? :P ,,,, honestly amazing content
Your editing gets better and better. Love the new animations!
Production quality is way better now!
5:43 that nod of approval from the guy in the background 🤣
I know that guy lol
You must've replayed it many times to notice that

ZM23 the man in the video’s name is “El Eggs”
Der Held dass, verdienen wir.
One of the best channels so far.Very direct and precised information.Thank you!
This is amazing content! In depth, clear, evidence based and extremely useful. Thanks!
This is by far the best explanation I've ever came across.
Even better than a lot of other so called good/popular channels.
Great advice. I was doing it too fast. Slowing down and focusing on every link in the chain made reaching my toes seem too easy. You're a great teacher Alex! 😊
Top class instruction as always. Thanks El eggs!
Ty for always bringing technical and scientific content and always in a clear and objective way!! Great video guys!
3:17 when the dealer does not reply
@Endless定 🤫😏😏
@Endless定 lucky you 😏😏
Always love your videos

Awesome. I love this "medical" information you provide in your newer videos. It is super interesting and easy to understand and remember. Thanks a lot for the great quality content!
Incredible content! True professionals honing their crafts!
Enough said!!! Great all around video! Thanks for the information!!!!
Amazing content once more. Explained clearly and backed up by scientific facts.

I really like doing it.
You videos are always really well explained!

Handsdown one of the best fitness channels on YT.
Your videos are so good and informative, I like that you give the full explanation rather than just saying x is good and y is bad
I have been waiting for new videos all day
I can't stop admiring El Egg's house, as well as his skills and knowledge! Thanks, El Eggs!
You teach in really easy and good way ♥️
Really glad I found your channel, your vids have helped a ton!

Your channel us gold, subscribed!
0:33 that person is working hard
It's all about the right execution. Good thing, a video like this is shared and is very informative👌
Great content. Much appreciated.
this video has given me motivation to do more touch your toes ! thanks CaliMove
Great video Alex!!
Great content and explanation! Indeed people tend to be afraid to flex the spine and it is safe if you person it controlled and if you go progressively as any other exercise! The video quality is just getting better as well!
Thanks for the great video. This has been a doubt in my mind for quite some time.
Nicely explained it always feels good to see your videos
Came back here 4 months after to say, I FINALLY TOUCH MY TOES
Keep the consistency guys!
Hey Alex, you inspired me to start my own channel. Keep up the good work!
Athlean-X: Touching your toes is killing your gains
Calimove: Athlean-X is killing your gains
I was thinking about that!
Yeah, I'm confused now. But I will always trust Athlean-X more because I've had multiple injuries from training and his vids on the injuries cured them.
Athlean x: starts sweating...
@Getnudged athlean x just puts the title like that he doesnt actually ban the whole thing there is hsually details inside
Athlean-X is basically saying the exact same thing as said in this video. The title of Athlean-X video was designed to be attractive and make you click on it. The content is way more nuanced than the title. Athlean-X always provides good pieces of advice overall.

His name is El Eggs
Awesome video!
This man is really my idol!!
I've been doing this for a few times,thanks to you I am now able to execute it properly.
Great video guys ... Keep it up
I'm training for a V-sit so one of the requirements is to learn to do this
@@corporateliquidator5357 Damn good for you roughly it took you how many months and how did you achieve it?
I'm working for Manna so same for me.
i couldn’t do this bad i did it in 10 minutes because of chris heria
@andreas if you follow chris heria the joke of fitness, you wont progress very much in calisthenics,
I am working on touching my knees, so same boat. :-P
You gotta love that actor play of El Eggs with that back pain lol
Another brilliant video, I love this channel
Im so glad we have both Calimove and AthleanX in the youtube community. One shows which isnt safe and one shows how to do it safely.
Thanks Alex for this video. You are one of my heroes.
El Eggs, not Alex.
@@RustinTravis ok.
Good timing :) I just finished a CZcams video about the Jefferson Curl, which goes in the same direction. Best regards from your German Mobilitycoach!
Alex you are the best on youtube💪👍
0:37 ... at that moment i have lombar resistance so big that i feel like i´m about to break into 2 pieces. It´s not pain, just resistance. I envy people able to do it, cause in my case it feels like have been on a wheelchair my whole life and now i´m learning to walk again ... Good videos
The moment he started performing moves was the moment I had to subscribe and hit the notification bell.
5:38 FVCKING BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!! THAT WAS SO LIT ASF!!!!!!!!!
12:48 One day, Im gonna be flexible enough to try that T - pose.
No.
thank you it is the best channel
I love you guys, thank you. 🧘🏽♀️💭💟☮️🌱💐
Your videos have been a great help to improve my posture. Please make a video on BRING SALLY UP CHALLENGE.
Keep these type of videos I will keep hit the like button
Excellent vidéo!
Wow this video was indeed one of the most helpful I've seen, very insightful!
A doubt came to mind though, what kind of injury prevents you from doing certain exercises later on?
5:38 My spine wasn't prepared to watch he do that kick
So helpful video
hi el eggs,,, please when will we see a gym tour of calimove? ,,, I don't think there is anything else left at this point,,, I mean, what else can be improved? :P ,,,, honestly amazing content
Can u pls do a video about hamstring and how to improve its power
Great video
I just don't know how many good exercise a certain fitness channel tell us not to do.... Thanks for showing us the truth as always....
Nice work 👍👍👍
5:43 the guy in the background approves!
u r the best
Plz do a video how to engage back instead of forearms and biceps in rows and pull ups.
Thoracic extension, scapula retraction and depression and focus on driving the elbows behind your back
Dominik sky did a video called the perfect pull-up which I find quite good for back in pull ups
Rows on rings helps too cuz you have your arms in neutral position and dont move the wrist when you doing rows and pull ups
You are the boss
Happy friday as always . Thanks guys !
Those flips were dope
5:19 another reason is that the human body is made to move. That is why sitting, standing, and laying too long would decrease your health overall
9:28 thicc
Focus on the video😂
Lol

5:42 you got a new fan right there in the back lol.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Thanks for nice video. Good Luck and CU Soon.
