I just stumbled across your videos and I must say that your coaching is TOP TIER! Excellent explanations, demonstrations and cueing! Thank you for your wisdom
this info is purest gold ! deserves 5Mio likes min. this approach is also logical as well as thoroughly described - easy to follow result is showing very fast and in big steps literally feet compared to inch with stretches. while all others point on strenuous stretching or muscleweakness with minimalistic results after months and months...
I want to deadlift but have avoided it for some time due to poor flexibility leading to poor form. I'm inspired to give it another go starting with this!
Quality content!!!! This helped me a lot!!!! I’m trying to get better lower back flexibility and hamstring mobility because when I go down to the bottom of my front squat, my lower back rounds at the bottom because of my tight hamstrings I think. Any tips on how to improve this???
This sounds like a dumb question, but what do you do if you have a protruding belly (belly fat) preventing the PVC pipe from touching your pelvis bone for front alignment? I tried the stretch and it was placing a lot of strain on the neck and shoulders because of trying very hard to keep arms close the body.
I recently heard about your videos via my chiropractor, after discussing an issue of related to tight hamstrings. Excellent video - look forward to trying the technique. Thank you!
Great video. I've been doing kettlebell swings for the past 6 months until I recently had some lower back pain, sciatica, hip pain, and very tight hamstrings. I want to give this a go - do you think it would be suitable to do the RDL loaded with a kettlebell? I have multiple kettlebells so I can start light and slowly build up.
Is it possible that I have an APT and also a tight hamstring? (I can barely bend over with my knees almost locked and it hurts my deadlift). If yes, what do I do? thank you!
One doesn’t exclude the other. To check if you have tight hamstrings perform the active leg raise like shown in the video, if positive follow the protocol. If you have APT (like me in this “older” video, where I was still working on this issue) include direct glute work, like for instance correctly executed glute bridges and hipthrusts and abdominal work.
@@BuffBody Thanks for the fast reply! By the check you mean raise the leg as shown in 1:30 and check if I feel a stretch in my hamstrings? If so, the answer is yes, absolutely, and that's what makes it very hard for me to deadlift and bent over row. To fix my APT I'm strengthening my glutes and abs, and streching my hip flexors, but when it comes to the hamstrings I read so many different instructions.. Some say that APT causes the hamstrings to be very tight already, so it's wrong to stretch them and I should be strengthening them instead. What do you think? I really have no idea anymore..
@@rrugh5 with weighted slow eccentrics you combine the best of both worlds, you’ll increase the active ROM while strengthening your hamstrings at the same time.

Good information and video, big up from Finland! But I have to say that music is annoying. I know most of ppl uses those backgroundmusics, but I still hate them all. :D
So do I go as far as I can without one of the points loosing contact, or am I trying to force trough the whole movement. I already feel my calves stretched very early
hi, is it ok if my shoulder slouches slightly eventhough im still maintaining a lumbard spine after the bar passes the knees? it seems impossible for me not to slouch at all, especially during the start of a deadlift..
There is a difference between perfect form and safe form. As long as you are stable within the safe range and have the muscles taking the load and not your spine / joints you're good! Just aim for perfection! 😉💪🏻
Yes! Increasing hamstring flexibility will provide a healthier pelvic tilt, which results in a more stable lumbar spine, protecting your disc. Build the weights up slowly though.
If you have structural damage on your back, like a herniated disc, I suggest you check our video, dedicated on that topic. If not, try to restore the stability / mobility balance in your body: work up the stability in the lumbar area, mobility in the hip (by for instance, but not solely, increasing hamstring flexibility) and the mobility in the thoracic spine. Your back will start feeling better.
Why doesnt this have more views? This is quality content.
Thanks man!! Really appreciate it!!
yh true
seriously!! he's so knowledgeable
The music is too loud. It kills the content. 🙁
Yeah, stick this in the Algorithm RUclips. Quality stuff.

Wise words! You just made our day better! 💪🏻
Thanks for this. I did try static stretching before but it wasn't that useful.
You look like Tom Cruise btw haha
Wait... u tellin me that isn't Tom Cruise!?
Hahaha yeah exactly 😅
This is really good info and an effective exercise. You see improvements within days. Isn't there something similar for the quads?

Just a tip buddy - lose the shitty music. It was difficult to hear you at some parts.
Very good content and a great channel. Definitely deserves more attention. I have really tight hamstrings, gonna try to fix it.
Flexibility is very important! Thanks for the video it really helped me🙏🏻❤❕
Thanks for your tutorial i appreciate you
Excellent explanation! Really appreciate your putting this video up!

By doing this routine! As long as you don't have enough hamstring flexibility, stay above buttwink.

Strain is ok to a certain degree. Your body only makes physical adaptations, by bringing it to its limits of capacity.

Great tips👍🏽👍🏽D’etre is packed with great information. I think a lapel mic may really help, especially when turning away from the camera.
Thanks! Funny you mention it. We just got a lapel mic and used it for our upcoming video!
Awesome 👏🏽 I look forward to hearing the difference 😉😁
Subscribed. Very clear and informative
Great help thank you very much!

Nice content u saved me a lot of time, will you continue the series.with ankle flexibility, hip flexors, etc? Ty for your work!!
Liked and subscribed.
This is GOLD, and this comes from a 4th year medical student, you are very knowledgeable!
Keep it up man! Subscribed!
Thanks man! Appreciate that!
Ur amazing at explaining!!! Thank you !!

The best I have ever seen. Thanks bro 🤝
Looking forward to trying this, if this works damn shame I didn't know 30yrs ago.. 😄
Your posture looks so great... even tho u have an APT do u have any advices about how to fix forward neck?
7:12 note to mslf: 15 reps possible to use smith machine
This was great thanks
Great content and clear explanations!!
That's sheer quality content. Loved the accent too 😀
Well done!
Gonna try this as I have very tight hamstrings. Sidenote, his side profile looks like a combo of Tom Cruise & Tom Brady.
Music is to loud, great video 👍☺️
should you do it with no weight on the bar until you get full range of motion or put weight on the bar to help with the weighted stretch?
Nice info🔥 subbed
Great video

Trying this.
Anyone tried this, what were the results? I'm considering having a go in the new year
Finally someone speaks some truth
Excellent video! How many reps and how long should we hold the first two poses?
Go down in more or less 5-8 seconds, hold for another 3-5 seconds at the bottom position. Ideally 10-12 reps.
@@BuffBody how often everyday or ever other day?
This is exactly what I needed but I'm definitely too lazy to check my form with a pipe. just being honest.
Can this be done by someone that has hernated discs?
Yes! Increasing hamstring flexibility will provide a healthier pelvic tilt, which results in a more stable lumbar spine, protecting your disc. Build the weights up slowly though.
I'm so confused on the frequency. Is he saying to do 15 reps of romanian deadlifts everyday?
I like your accent 👍
The sound on 04:04 😱
What if I already suffer from 24*7 back pain because of flexibility issue ?
If you have structural damage on your back, like a herniated disc, I suggest you check our video, dedicated on that topic. If not, try to restore the stability / mobility balance in your body: work up the stability in the lumbar area, mobility in the hip (by for instance, but not solely, increasing hamstring flexibility) and the mobility in the thoracic spine.

This dude has a serious anterior pelvic tilt...but good vids regardless
Good catch! You’re right about my anterior pelvic tilt. It has gotten much better already though! I’m working on it!
