@@Jabberdau The shoulder joint has more ROM with slight external rotation in shoulder flexion. Also, it's more comfortable for most (less impingement.)
Thank you so much for this. I used to be able to easily do bridge as a child and young adult but recently tried with my daughter and realized I can't even get into bridge anymore. Been looking for backbending flexibility exercise videos and most 'back flexibility' videos either focus on lower back and twisting or assume you can do bridge. This is a great set of exercises for exactly the areas I need help with. Gonna to try these for a few weeks and see how it goes.
@@mrclean3357 cool! There's a lot here, check hamstring and quad flexibility. I also have some programs on my website which will help you. Look it up: gotrom.com/pages/products
He makes the most sense, because he reminds you and he demonstrates, the importance of breathing. Breathing is something most people easily stop doing once concentrated on an activity, especially exercises. No matter what your age, even if your 5, you typically need a coach to tell you out loud to "BREATHE". How easily we hold our breath without ever knowing we're doing it. Yet it's the most common form of injuries to our muscles.
Great video! Strongman, been suffering from shoulder/biceps impingement for over a year and have reduced my pressing, following you for a few years now and your shoulder vids are great. Be great to see a new shoulder preparation and warm-up video for people who suffer from tight shoulders and clearing that space for the tendon to do its thing during pressing.
Thanks! Try some of these new thoracic extensions drills to help clear that impingement! I learned them from a contortion teacher and they have slowly become my "go-to" exercises! 👍Also, the neck musculature can be one of the missing pieces for people. Check out my "Desk Posture Therapy" program for more details about the neck stuff 👍www.gotrom.com/p/desk-posture-therapy-program-bundle
Thanks for helping! My mom randomly decided she wanted to get flexible like me, and I did some stretches, but she couldn't do them. These will help a lot! Thanks! 😉
Merci! Very useful as I am very motivated to work on my back posture and to do the bridge. Did yoga in the past but not anymore as I am more the runner style, but will definitely try the 'easy' bridge with the chair.
Yup! Are you training your back bend or thoracic bridge? There are also version where you walk your hands down a wall to practice the "back walkover" - but that's not really for beginners.
Hi Requillio. Thanks & you're welcome! It depends on how you're feeling. 😊 Kinda' like intuitive, and checking in your body on how it feels. Hope that helps!
Of your a beginner and your looking to get a flexible back. How often and how long do you need to do these stretches? Or what do you recommend? Im trying to find step by step process. These stretches make sense to me. Just need to know what is the recommended time to hold and details to get the best results down the line.
Hello Prince! Great question! Most of the time, my clients do what is optimal. For some already quite advanced or intermediate they can do more. Feel what works for you and find your sweet spot. Hope that helps! Let me know!
I’m 20 I was flexible when I was 9/10 years old . But now I’m completely inflexible and I want to get my flexibility back and I want to start practicing with your videos and I just need some kind of inspiration or sth ? Is there any hope for my age to get flexible again ?! I can practice every day how long should practice each video ? Sorry my English isn’t perfect 😑
I'm 34 and started training for flexibility around age 26. So yes, there's hope. :-) My 45-day routines at GotROM.com will explain exactly how you should practice. Give it a shot. :-) Email me for support anytime!
Very informative. Thanks for this video. I am a bellydancer and i need these stretches. With regular practise how long does it take, as an average. Also when i do these exercises how do i know if i have reached my extent and should not push/bent more.
This video should answer some of those questions: ruclips.net/video/uujrfn_jrI4/видео.html You brain will learn where your limits are over time. It will learn more quickly the more mindfully you practice. Hope that helps!
Hey Carol! Good question. A beginner will usually be able to hold each stretch in 3-5 seconds. If you are already way ahead of your stretching experience you can tap into what feels good for you. Let me know if that helps.
i know how to do a back bridge but couple of weeks ago i was trying to do it from standing but i fell and i got injured(Elbow ligament rupture. i don't know if this is how to say in english or not) now my elbow still healing but i want to try do it again but iam so scared and don't know how to avoid injures iam 17 by the way
Does the elevated bridge position feel significantly harder to hold than the regular bridge to anyone? Maybe its because my regular bridge isnt very deep?
Hey Ana, great question! Usually, 3x a week. For some, maybe 2x a week. This depends on your age and lifestyle. Also, listening to your body is always the best indication of what's best for you. Hope that helps! Let me know!
Sir I got pain or strain or hesitating feeling after doing glute bridge during acl reconstruction recovery for lack of knowledge I think I hyperextended my lower back in hurry I don't know what muscle to feel or what to tight its happens three days ago I have no physio for this pandemic covid19 it feeling pain or uncomfortable uneasy now is it a sign of major issue what to do now sir can continue this exercise or other acl reconstruction recovery exercises like straight leg rise with 1 kg sitted leg extension with 1or 2 kg squating please reply sir

I can push up into a bridge (not great form) on the ground but I find it very difficult to push up off of my head when trying the elevated bridge on a chair, why do you think this is?, I thought it was meant to be an easier progression
Always different for each person. Could be something you're used to and your body has adapted to it. I hope that helps! Let me know if there's anything else!
I wish the bend back wasn’t so expensive. While I appreciate anyone who knows their own worth and value, it’s just not affordable to many, so I wish an alternative way to monetise it, while creating a cheaper resource for the purchasers , would’ve been more ideal I’d have thought. Also would’ve been great to see before and afters, in the peoples review interviews/videos, on the site.

Hello Sheila! Glad this helped you out. Is there anything else about the back bridge I can help you with?
Great video. The puppy pose has been a big help for me. Any thoughts on using reverse planks to help increase shoulder ROM?

This worked so well
Happy to hear so! What are your 2022 goals? Bridge? Other?
Does doing the bridge itself albeit very stiffly and not much height help to get a better bridge or are these exercises more important?
The exercises are important to help you get settled into the backbridge.
About the elevated bridge. Is it easier to have the feet on the chair than the hands?
Yup! Are you training your back bend or thoracic bridge? There are also version where you walk your hands down a wall to practice the "back walkover" - but that's not really for beginners.

Does the elevated bridge position feel significantly harder to hold than the regular bridge to anyone? Maybe its because my regular bridge isnt very deep?
