Hitting 1 million subscribers today. Surreal. Thanks everyone who subscribes, watches the videos and is a part of our community. 8 years ago I asked Trevor to record me give my clients a few tips on squats and I posted them on RUclips. Now we are here. It's been an incredible journey with a lot of ups and downs. It took about 4-5 years of making videos before anything got some decent views. I look back now... surprised I kept at it. But very thankful a younger version of Josh persisted. Can't wait to keep going. But today we'll have a lil celebration. Thanks y'all. As always.
Much deserved
You got bomb content! We thank you!
You got bomb content! Thank you!!!
Well deserved, Josh. Love these videos. They're encouraging me to take healthier steps!
Amazing!!!!
back bends. Amazing for spine and shoulder mobility and core strength combined. When I was a young dancer, walk-overs (placing hands on the ground in front of yourself, lifting into a handstand, and arching down into a backbend, then coming up) was a standard exercise. It works a treat!
I've been an exercise physiologist, strength coach and movement specialist for over 35 years and I think you guys do an awesome job. It's a great channel. If I lived anywhere out west I would love to have to attended the workshop in Boulder Colorado.
Thank you for continuing to teach me! As a new trainer, I’m always eager to learn more and I can’t tell you how much I’ve learned from you guys!!!! Everyone who is not Subscribed to strength side or Move Strong Now… your missing out on the most knowledgeable, honest, and “ bang for your buck” 😜😜 “ fitness @ routines. The structure, free flow, and play they incorporate in Move Strong Now is the best!!!! Strength Side is hands down the best “ fitness” channel out there! Subscribe !!! Best decision you will ever make!!!!
The Cossack Squat can be a great one for hamstring flexibility on the straight legz while you squat with the other one, and is also great for ankle and knee mobility.
Back extensions, cross body rows, lat pullovers, full ROM dip and pushups are all great for strength and flexibility
You guys are literally the best. You’ve totally helped me improve my athleticism exponentially with your pedagogy and concepts. I’m more mobile and flexible at 37 than I’ve ever been in my life working out the way you guys promote.
A great quad and hip flexor opener in my experience has been the reverse Nordic curl, particularly if you progress to the point where you can touch your scapula to the floor. It also has the perk of having the greatest load in the lengthened position, which helps a lot.
I started doing them a few months back and last week I noticed I could comfortably get into a full stretch with the tibia against the wall and the other leg raised up with the knee at 90°, with shoulders almost touching the wall, whereas before I couldn't even get the other leg up midway.
Another one is a kind of straight arm lat pulldown done horizontally on rings, I don't know how to call it honestly, but if has done wonders for my overhead shoulder mobility.
Is that a front lever you’re thinking of?
@@adrianmcleod3067 no actually, it's more like a cross between a dumbbell pullover and a pushup. You start as if you were to do a ring pushup but instead of flexing the arms, you keep them straight and move them going overhead, then bring them back straight in front of you.
@@autongnosis33 Sounds like an ab rollout with gymnastic rings.
@@adrianmcleod3067 YES, only you keep the torso rigid so you don't use abs other than to stabilise and the effort only comes from the shoulders
@@autongnosis33 Ah, so you’re not rolling into it like an ab rollout. You stay stationary in a push up position. Arms straight, shoulders become a focal point, hands reach overhead.
After now completing my 40th year of aerobics, 25th of running and generally always physically active in work and life....I am now a 65 year old female who has noticed that not all things work the same as they once did. Would you consider videos for those of us who have maintained and will continue to do so....an active healthy physical lifestyle but need...for one reason or another....to adjust. This is the hardest part.....the mind says one thing and the body (in some parts) is saying another. Thank you for considering....I have learned so much from you. :)
Donna J. I am in the same boat as you and I try to do Strength Side exercises that are not difficult. I will get there when I get there😁 Just going slow has helped me so much. I was having pain in my knees that most probably was caused by years of running. I just got burnt out. Also tightness in my hips. I figured oh well -I'm not 25 yrs old. Anyway the exercises here have helped me so much-its like the clock has turned back. Just don't give up you're not alone
That ATG split squat is the truth. 💯
Just want you to know, I struggle daily, but Im glad you are there for me. Love you guys!
I think 1 movement you left out which could be added is a neutral grip dumbbell bench press OR Deficit pushups. They allow your chest to get the deepest stretch. A lot of ppl have tight pecs so I think that would be a good addition to the video. Otherwise, the video is amazing. I'm seeing more and more about this style of training. Even seen some ppl saying to hold the stretched position for a few seconds (3-5) before lifting the weight back up. So let's say you do like 6-8 reps, that would be about 30-40 seconds in that stretched position while strengthening
Congratulations to everything family! You are great trust yourself and work your way🔥🤙👊🙏💚
Cossack squats are great for single leg strength and flexibility
Ah one of my favorites for flexibility!
I've been having some really good results lately with the KB pull over
Dude your content is awesome. The vibes are immaculate 👌
the double leg hamstring exercise requires more bend in the knee for a better feel in the hamstrings
I think "most" exercises CAN be done to get free flexibility gains. Like presses you can lower completely and either stretch your chest and or shoulders at the same time. The chest supported tbar row is one of my favorite for free flexibility as well - to do the relax as describe in the pullup section but now aimed at slightly different back muscles and functions of the back - maybe more trap/rhomboids then lats/teres but both I think stretch rear delts.
But you can apply this to bicep curls by going on an incline or you can put your arms on a preacher curl to get tention on the bottom portion more. Triceps I think overhead isos get them fully stretched easier but my elbows feel a little weird so I dont aim for the full stretch or until I can find the perfect motion where my elbows dont flare up - honestly I might just need to go one arm at a time if I want to stretch em while strengthening them.
Good point. Full range of motion!
@@Strengthside Yup and for presses I just realized I didnt describe them to well with what exactly I meant. Ill go beyond what most think as normal and bring them below the chest and squeeze my shoulder blades together and really stretch out chest on flat or shoulders on upright.
Hey mates! I love the Jefferson curl. BEsides strengthening my back it helps me with stretching the hams. Besides that I love the horse stance or Ma Bu. It brings me close to the side splits! Awesome content man!
These look great. I think it's going to be a while until I can do the split squat.
Yeah I want a whole program built like this because I never take time to stretch.
Oh wait you just advertised it at the end of the video lol. Ok I'll get it.
Congratulations on 1 Million brother! You make great content! Much deserved! See if you can do a collaboration with Ben Patrick of KneeOverToesGuy!
Pullover for shoulder flexibility?
Dude...amazing video...weights that help to be both flexible and strong. See...to do weight lifting has always been in the counter side of flexibility. My case: I was a good soccer player then I got muscles for real. As a result I stop playing...thanks
The hindu-push up, which puts you in the downward facing dog pose and snake pose during the static phase of the movement.
Amazing video thank you so much 🙌 would you have any tips for improving shoulder flexibility and mobility through strength exercises?
Do you know any exercise for the push movement that targets strenght and flexibility? You know chest tricep shoulder, maybe a very deep dip?
Stiff hams also come from being on your feet 8hrs
Deficit push ups 💪
Thanks for the video man very informative‼️ Can I ask where you purchased your pull up bar from ?
Bro please provide something for underweight beginners.
For a beginner how would you do these in an easy way? For women especially
congratulations 👏👏👏
Request video if possible to correct flat feet 🙏🏼
Seated lying leg raise. (From calimove RUclips channel).
I broke some joints in my knee, do you have any rehab motions?
No video just audio?
Did you guys time this with Fitness FAQs?
For those interested the program is $249 US. Too much for me, sorry. :(
Honestly there is a lot more excercises like this. Anything that will get you to your end range in a stretched position that you can press, lift, pull out of has this effect. Kneesovertoesguy has a bunch of these online for free 💯
You da man. What an amazing 18 months since I started the Daily Practice. Ive grown as the channels grown. Still getting those gains you promised Josh. Not bustin a gut - ill do the DP then add a upper body or lower body routine. 52 years old. Lost 10kg and stll gaining muscle with, what feels like, very little effort. Best Ive felt for 15 years. Thank you so much. Josh and Strength Side crew deserve every plaudiit going. Much love from J
Cossack squats!
Being a software engineer who has worked out ~5 days per week for the past 18 years, I feel like your speaking directly to me with many of your videos! This is exactly the inspiration I need to take care of my body balance in terms of flexibility and strength symetry. Thank you!
I lost 30 kgs in weight thru nutrition and now I'm back training in the gym ... I'm sticking to sets of pull ups, dips, pikes, push ups (forward) active and passive hang, leg press, walking lunges and wide arm headstand pikes to finish. Squats between lunges and some other random bits.
Flexibility is improving. I mountain bike black diamonds and that's improving after 2 weeks of gym.
51 years old
I usually combine heel raises with stretching. I do an inverted, eccentric heel raise on one leg for about six seconds followed by stretching the calf for six seconds. At the same time as I'm stretching, I try to raise my toes up to activate the antagonistic muscle, which actually helps the agonist muscle relax, which deepens the stretching.
Jefferson curl!
Hey Josh. This is one of your best. I explored this concept of mixed mobility and strength sessions with Trev in MSN coaching. It’s great return on investment when you’re time poor.
Truly is!
How to really be healthy in mind and body is my all time favorite video... helped me a lot during the pandemic. Please do more like them.
Ah thank you. Will do!
Super video🔥🔥🔥
Hi Josh, any tips on how to maximize sunlight exposure and how to stay more active during the winter months?? Please consider make a vid on what you do during the colder months.
Wonderful tips. But should we increase weight or load eventually?
Can you recommend one of your videos that an inflexible ten year old could start practicing with. Thank you so much!
Will put down this brick, go get me my ezi bar and test the Romanian DL in slow motion.
Ain't nothing fast about flexibility unless you want an ambulance at your door.
Can you at least briefly credit Ben Patrick for some of these?
I support the natural guys.
I like doing pistol squats right legt ain't as strong but I'm working on it
Love the dumb bell variation especially for thighs and back. Waist is good to know with dumbbells 💪 in tight spaces. Work out in tight spaces using furnishings. 🙏🏽📖😇
Josh is so handsome. He has beautiful feet.
Always learn something new that this 75 year old can add apply his daily routines. I really appreciate all you do. Great work and please don't forget to add more Rope work routines.. Barry

Means hard work!! Im proud of that!
1. split squat stretch with weights
2. dead hang stretch with ankle weights or partner
3. One leg Romanian deadlift stretch
Congrats, you should do an new video version of your first viral video ( I think) 5 primal movements.
God I miss living in Colorado! Been stuck on east coast for 22 years and everyday I've missed Colorado! Great channel and video! Just found this channel today!
Thanks to Calisthenicmovement channel I started to do planche lean to pike stand exercise to strengthen my shoulders and core stabilizers, improve shoulder mobility and become closer to handstand press that I believe I can do someday. Also I love romanian deadlifts, deadman raises and elevated calf raises as a "leg day" since I've been practicing amateur tumbling and trampolining years ago.
Awesome, like it 💯👍
How does one juggle these flexibility/strength exercises with other stretching goals like splits training throughout the week without recovery interfering?
Congratulations on the 1 million! Always need more flexibility help! 👍🏽👏🏾🎊🎉💪🏾🕺🏽💜
Jefferson curls got my hammies and back feeling great.
what about reverse nordic curls for the front of the quads? or push-ups and dips in the lowest position for stretching the pecs?
Good combo of exercises. Loaded while stretched is also the basic premise behind most yoga exercises which probably explains why some yogis can be fairly strong while still being flexible.
I’d include L-sits and V-sits. Not that I can get anywhere near a V yet
I like the seated Good Morning. I'll give it a try.
Almost 1million subs good job, best exercise and mobility channel on the tube
Deep squat? Asian can do it without practices
Amazing bro, love what you create 🙌
I do crossfit and anything that saves me time is a bonus!
Great 👍 thanks for sharing
1 million. Congrats.
Do you use kettlebells?
It's in the video Bruh..
Y'all know you wouldn't be doing half this without kneesovertoesguy...Why don't you just come out and say it. Give the man the credit he deserves
The one thing you left out is giving credit to Kneesovertoesguy from whom you obviously got all of this
Copying the knees over toes guy are we? 😬
