Hi Jeff, didn't know another way to contact, but have you done any vids on Subscapularis? Struggling with this at me and would like your take on how to fix it. Great channel btw and been a source of brilliant info for me for a while now.

really? my brother has bad shoulders from the way he sits and my shoulders are starting to look like his so i need something to put my shoulder muscles back
@@anujbarochia3845 first correct attempt ( took 8 tries to finally get the best form ) immidiately fixed it , and even my chest looked bigger now but after a week it returned as the chest muscles are bigger and stronger so they pulled me back to shit posture again , so i started doing them everyday to permanently strengthen the muscles and then over time my posture got better , traps etc looked better and i even got better at the movement so i loaded it even heavier and one day my right shoulder's rear delt i felt a popping in it which somehow reactivated the rear delt which i couldnt feel ever before , it even helps with bench pressing and will help u achieve higher PRs if you are consistent with it , fav one of these exercises has to be the broomstick tho it helped me get a good mind muscle connection with my obliques and now training them is easy af
I used an apple because I had no tennis ball (same size) I used a broom stick because I have no metal bar (just removed the brush) I used 2 books wrapped in a shirt because I had no weight Where theres a will theres a way. And seems like most people in the comments are here complaining. (Edit) My posture and nerd neck is 70% fixed when I don’t stand sluggish (I’ve been a little lazy on the exercise consistency but this will 100% fix your problem friends!) Thanks a million for this video man!!!
iam always so hungry and eat my apple in instant... i only have vacuum cleaner no broom stick.... books? i burned them when i finished school! as you can see some people really got badluck and cant do these exercises. ps bro i like your attitude.
My massage therapist friend sent me here! Thank you for this video. I'm healing from growing up with atlas subluxation. It's been 2.5 years since my adjustment and I've been doing what I can on my own to correct my posture. I'm in a lot of pain every single day so it can be hard to get motivated to work on these kinds of exercises when I know they're going to kill me after, but I want to get strong and be reborn.
@ryan petra Oh, thank you! I'll look into that. This one looks good. I've tried a few similar things but it's so hard to find petite sizes that actually fit.
Been in debilitating pain in my arms and legs from posture related issues for years, no pt has ever helped until I found jeff's videos, honestly this dude deserves some kind of international award, thank you so much Jeff
he shows posterior pelvic tilt fix in this he said Jesse has anterior pelvic tilt just for those who have the anterior (which i do) your going to have already stretched hamstrings from that posture it puts you in
@@gorgeousfreeman4836 that's bs. I only watch gaming videos. I have never even searched for a workout video or anything in that matter. 2 days ago I actually was talking about how I wanted to fix my posture and boom I get recommended this...
Many thanks Jeff! I've trained all my life and have been a fitness instructor since 2005. I'm 60 years old this year. This has been very educational and I've needed this guidance. In my opinion yourself and Phil Daru,though different are two of the very best educators out there on RUclips. Much respect and I wish you every success!👍😊
I have a headache at least once a week because of bad posture and sitting behind a desk. These movements fixed it immediately I just felt the pain seeping away. Jeff really has changed my life in so many ways I dont ever regret putting my faith in him
This is exactly what ruined my posture! All those "nerds" with their rolling backpacks that I made fun on are now laughing at me! Cuz now I have the nerd neck
I’ve always had bad posture but lugging around a heavy ass bag in school did not help. Because I carried every book and binder to every class because we simply were not given enough time between classes to get from half our classes to our lockers (and the schools I went to had small lockers three to a row) and if you had a middle or bottom locker sometimes eve a top locker you were screwed and would be late, and being late was not an option for me as most teachers would hear nothing of it if you tried to explain it was because of the crowds at the lockers. Now I work in an office at a desk so being at a phone and computer all day kn top of being a gamer its worsened my posture and I’ve been working to fix it. Its not perfect but its getting there but I have a tilted pelvis and thats what I really need to work on. Even though I’m correcting it keeping it is hard because I resort to my bad posture when my back starts hurting from the many accidents I’ve been in.
Doing these posture series videos helped fixed my neck pain, frozen shoulders, tight low back, tight abs, anterior pelvic tilt, tight glutes, weak hamstrings, rickety knees(left would give out unexpectedly), strained left calf and chronic cramping in my left foot. I'd recommend if any of these sound like issues you've faced.
this guy is better than any doctor I've ever seen and helps people for free and doesn't waffle about! someone plz nominate him for biggest legend ever award 👏
This video cures bad posture, anxiety and depression. I have bad posture, worse than the guy in the video had before. Bad posture, not only lowers your stamina through the day but also lowers your confidence, your sleep and your cognition. I can speak by myself. The 'nerd neck' as he called it, constrains the blood flow to the brain, triggering anxiety. You can't properly relax while sleeping, you are always making an huge effort to look straight and good in public, as your heavy head only wants to fall down and you can't walk normally. You can't oxygenate the brain properly, you can't relax neither body neither mind 24/7. What a great video. I've been trying to fix my posture for some time now, but all I see is standing straight on a wall doctor videos. It is a good exercise too. But by what this trainer spoke and by what I've been researching for the last year in the subject, he really knows what he is talking about. Many doctors instead a prescribing pills to patients, they should look first at their posture and forward them to this kind of treatment. Bad posture heavily messes with health, confidence and cognition.
Me neither, I only extrapolated by personal experience. Where do you feel more anxiety? In the thorax. Anxiety is only a command from our brain to our thorax to demand oxygen. This happens when you have a thinking overload and lack of oxygen in the brain to supply all those neurons working.
I haven't been doing those exercises for a while. My posture isn't completely fixed yet. It's better than before, but I saw some difference doing those exercises about 1h during 1week. Then neck exercise I'm scared of... Instead of that he does in the video, I don't dot it laying down, I sit on a chair, balance the chair back and push my back against the back of the chair and then my neck and chin back.
Your videos inspired me to workout Jeff, I was 190 January 1st and I weight 174 as of today, I am also seeing muscle on my body, something that I never saw in my 25 years of life. Thanks for the awesome videos.
Thanks so much, I'm a forty year old woman who has done no physical exercise for ten years seriously! My postures appalling and my muscles are so weak its unbelievable, I cant even squat. I even tried a basic yoga stretch, pushed a little hard and pulled pelvic ligament due to lack of flexibility. I'm in pain, extremely unhealthy and your video is the best I've seen. Your really friendly, motivating and the exercises are simple enough, (I have to adapt the pulling one as dont go to gym,no confidence) and the fact theres only four isnt overwhelming. Its hard to start making a difference n change your life but my fitness journey has to start with a single step and that's your little exercises. Sorry for the essay but I felt if I write a comment and also take before and after pics I have to hold myself accountable. Thank you for inspiring me! I'll show you the afters one day!
Omar B. Rimawi at least you're not crying about it, trying to find a safe place or asking for one, or attacking or protesting him. You're owning up to it and fixing it yourself, not trying to have someone fix it for you
As a tall person (6’7”) I realized I’ve spent most of my life looking down and hunched over. I have every issue; rounded shoulders, thoracic kyphosis, nerd neck, etc! Watching Jeff’s videos makes me feel like I’m getting a PhD in bio mechanical engineering haha! I really dig the science behind the issue, and the science behind the fix. Started this regimen today. Thanks Jeff and Jesse!!!
Same here and I’m 6ft. When I was younger I hated my height and I would hunch 😤 now I like it and have some of the posture issues. I can’t wait to try these!
Hi there! Thank you very much men for the posture correction video. I have been a cook for many years. I didn't realize how bad my back posture has become till I saw myself in a full length mirror. As a career cook...I have arched my back and neck over a prep area to chop and slice and make various items quite a while. This video has given me simple exercises to correct my posture. Thank you both very much. Laura from NH
So glad I found this, I’m finding it so difficult to do some exercises with my curved shoulders 🙄 all this happened from being shy. Gonna start doing these straight away thank you 😊
I have a flat belly but my thighs are kind of fat. People tell me that they look good so I earn confidence, but then I look at myslef in the mirror and I don't like it and the exercise I do is not helping somehow UUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH
@@catenjoyer76 yeah. I am not fat overall nor do I have fat thighs but I have a belly and it just doesn't go away. So, I would take your flat belly anytime along with fat thighs coz I love cycling/cross training anyway. Anything to do with legs 👍🏻
@@blank7940 My best advice would be to get some resistance bands (possibly in the 20-30lbs range) and anchor them to a railing or something similar on face height.
Ha! When I feel like the back of my neck is getting rounded from poor posture, I instinctively tuck my chin and press my head back, just like the tennis ball/plate exercise. I’m so glad I found your channel. The stretches I’ve tried are life changing!
I've always had dreadful posture, and recently severe pain in my neck, shoulders and lower back. Found this video, followed the the stretches etc, and the pain was gone in a day. Thank you so much! Will take longer to completey fix my posture after decades of slouching, but I'll get there!
My lower back pain is excruciating. After the simple Thumb pressure and leg extension, the pain alleviated enough to walk, but still hurts a lot. My posture looks like Jesse's, and my wife continues to tell me "Straighten Up!". I'm gonna continue watching your videos. THANKS SO MUCH!!
@@takeiteazyd I went to a chiropractor for 5 sessions, but I was not happy with the results, price, or his style, especially after viewing a few other chiropractors on RUclips and how they were treating their patients! And although my back doesnt hurt anymore (so long as I dont bend backwards, lift anything heavy, or basically do anything strenuous), I am suffering from a significant amount of pain in my left leg on the side of the shin, as well as, pain in my left hip. This wasnt a problem until after I went to the chiropractor. So I dont know if it's a result of the healing process, sciatica, buldging disk, or of he caused it. Anyway, I have to stretch multie times a day to ease the pain, with 400-800mg Ibprophen tabs 1 time a day for the pain. Thank you for asking. It's more than I got from the chiropractor after i abruptly stopped going to see him, not even a phone call, email, or text conveying any concern over me or my whereabouts! Perhaps he thinks im dead, in jail, in the hospital, or that I have been laying on the floor for the last 3 weeks, unable to get back up due to the horrendous pain and doesnt want to bother me!! Lol. Anyway, any suggestions to help me get rid of the pain in my leg or hip? I'm gonna try the flour dough pin roller on my back to see of it helps. .
@@adiyo7159 thanks Adi. I'll check it out. It cant be worse than what the supposed chiropractor has done for me in the past month or so. I refuse his treatment, if u wanna call it that, and for the price he was charging me, i could have taken a nice relaxing vacation somewhere that gives free massages and other luxuries, like in Napa wine country and the natural hot springs up there!!
Hi I want to tell you that YOU ARE A SUPERSTAR!! I have been doing these four exercises for about a week. I already feel better physically which is the main thing I’m happy about! The second thing is I visited my chiropractor yesterday who did notice a difference in my posture!!
My parents have been telling me that you can't fix a rounded back after the age of 18 because your skeleton has completely been formed at this age. I'm 19 now and I want to get rid of my rounded upper back.So,is it actually possible to fix it at this age or not?
@@marikmicle7456 age doesn't really matter. Your body is always adapting. Older people just lose motivation and stop challenging themselves. Unlikess your like 90+ you can always work on your body. Your bones also dont always stay the same. They basically disintegrate and regernate back every 10 years which keeps them more fresh so to speak. Our bodies are designed to be challenged and the more you challenge it the more stronger it'll become
@@marikmicle7456 that's totally wrong , don't believe an old saying if there's no research to back it up. You can actually correct your posture even if you are old it just take dedication and discipline.
@@marikmicle7456 Rubbish. They told me one can't learn piano if one's over 18 and never played. I'm 22, learning going goooood. It's just a way to justify your lack of motivation or skill. Sure, it's a bit harder when you're older but not impossible.
Have been a student of Martial Arts on and off for 25 years, 4-5 times a week in the past 10, and in decent shape at age 54. Switched to Cardio Kickboxing/Cross Fit program a month ago where working with weights, wall balls, kettle bells, etc as part of the program and I have been regularly suffering with a stiff neck during and after workouts. I knew my posture was crap, I have all of the issues you identify in this video, but I thought they were genetic and never thought to address them. JEFF, YTM!!! THANK YOU!!!! I am looking forward to adding these few simple exercises every day to improve both my physical comfort and overall body image. I have gotten a valuable takeaway from every video I of yours I have seen here, thanks again!
0:51 this is what I love about your channel. Any other fitness coach would’ve made him exaggerate how bad his posture is, but you can tell that was his natural posture. Fair play.
I've been combining similar stretches + yoga class 2x week and my posture corrector from Berlin & Daughter after extra long days at the office. Think the instant relief really makes a difference. A lot of these exercises were super uncomfortable at first (especially the face pulls omg) but def easier now. I think the power for me is in keeping the exercises up, and not expecting a permanent fix, because lots of things make your posture bad/weak again (sitting at my desk, driving a car, general slouching, etc). So I try to keep it up and that's been really helpful!
My dad used to make us stand against the wall for 10-15min every day with our shoulders pulled back/touching the wall. It trains your posture. You can even do it while watching your favorite tv show 😉
I’m a Jesse - rounded shoulders, nerd neck and anterior pelvic tilt. When it’s bad I am several pants sizes bigger than I should be because my belly sways out so much. I’ve fixed it several times in my life but when I let it go it’s so hard to get it back 😐. This has inspired me to work hard at correcting it again and keeping it that way 👍
I used to have all of these, to fix it, my advice is to make your effort in sitting straight and walking straight. Because these are daily activities, they are also the main causes of this mess, that's why you must also address them for faster results Most people with these problems never sit straight or walk straight, if you don't, do this. When you sit focus in your upper back. Sit on a backless chair like you do naturally, and look yourself in a mirror. You might notice your upper back is rounded, now try to straighten it up, stick your chest out more than you normally do, also stretching your back. You might get tired after a while but that way you will start to work the muscles that keep your spine straight and eventually you will do it unconsciously. Now do the same thing when you walk. Stand still and look yourself in a mirror, you might also see that your upper back is rounded, again, straighten it up and look up (moving your whole neck also) forcing your spine to straighten up, this may also be tiring but eventually you will do those movements naturally. To address the round shoulders you can exaggerate the movement and bring them as back as you can, as you see in this video. And for the nerd neck, follow this video's exercise and make an effort to look up when walking and sitting (not all of the time of course just as an exercise but NEVER look down, maintain a normal level). My tilted pelvis is not completely fixed but by following all of what I just told you it diminished significantly, so follow this video too. Of course don't forget to do some exercise too (not really necessary if you do the previous but it will certainly help in getting faster results), focus in your core and overall upper body, but gluts are also crucial. And that's how in some months I significantly fixed my posture, but i will also follow some of this video's exercises to furthermore solve the problem.
Thanks very much for this video. Been struggling with back pain for 2 years. This video is the one who got me back to gym. 1 year later, my back pain is fixed!
i have the exact same problem as jesse did, i had servere ATP, rounded shoulders and foward head posture, i had never trained in my whole life before and the doctors/specialists couldn't find anything wrong with me, i was in servere pain and bedridden for almost 2years but now im training hard to fix the posture and learning alot from jeff, this dude is a legend, i'm soon back to normal and gotten my life back. i was only 21 when it all started and i thought my life was over, doctors told me it was all in my head but holy shit i did the reaserach on my own and i'm soon cured. i'm so thankfull for the internet and jeff sharing this information
Did you get that way during your puberty or later? How old were you when you started doing all the excercises and how long did it took for you to fix yourself up? I´m 22 years old with EXACTLY the same back as Jesse had, I need to fix it...
i dont care It's not even bad. The s in trainer is the only thing that throws the you off. And yeah luckily but it could've been autocorrect we don't know that part. My brain auto fixed it for me to say lucky.
I was on in a Gym , the one and only one , the trainer turned into a jerk - last time I ever got to Gym -later I found out he was elite-cyclist ( eg the last people i thrust , they must he be hells angels of atleths -so i wasn't supprised )
wow. I went to a physical therapy clinic for 11 sessions to help my sciatica pain---nothing was mentioned the whole time about my poor posture and neck issues. Needless to say the sciatica never got better. I'm going to do these exercises for sure...thank you so much. Lakeland, Florida
@@drengr8691 yeah im about 1 month in, and i had pain in my shoulders, mostly when i was gaming, but i did this every week once and its way better now😊
Remember to RELAX and breathe whenever you stretch, you can't stretch a muscle by force! This P. T. is right-on about putting form first, once you have the body mechanics down, slowly stretch to the point of resistance then relax and breathe into your stretch and allow your tension to melt as your muscles lengthen! Ahhh.... Feels so good. 💪💛👍
I absolutely love this. I’m a side sleeper and I especially notice my right shoulder is trying to curve inward and i can hear and feel a clicking noise. I followed along with this video and I found immediate relief and increase movements. Still pain and clicking noise. Thank you ❤❤❤
Took the dick right out of my mouth. Did I say that right? I'm kind of old and don't know any hip slang. Get it, HIP SLANG. Because my hip is out again. *Hey everyone, I'm his great grand nephew, he hired me to write comments for him. I have to say, the dick in the mouth thing isn't too far from the truth. Ok, back to him What in the hell, Gregg, I didn't tell you to write that. Hey, don't write that either. And pull up your pants, you look like a damn ... *he said some racist stuff that I won't type. Why won't you type it, Gregory? You fucking pussy. Too scared of hurting people's feeling? Back in my day, if someone said something you didn't like, you punched them right in the face. And if you said the wrong thing to the wrong person, you got punched in the face. Today you pussies cry about everything on the god damn internet. Turn that fucking phone off before I jam it up your skinny pimply ass.
He brings up a really good point about posture actually, I've recently realised how fucking bad my posture is and it's clearly something that's been building up over the years and making me uncomfortable, I wouldn't be surprised if it's affected my weight a bit as well. I think a lot of health problems that people have especially in regards to weight are just down to desk work over long periods of time and doing nothing to correct it, I know i'm guilty of that.
Jessie. The gains are totally showing bud. Great job. Now teach Jeff how to engage his cinematography core so he’s not shaking like a leaf when he’s filming.
Finally, I'm so happy I've found this channel. I'm a former Ballet dancer, so I'm very aware of posture, however, my fiance totally is in Jessy's previous state. He just started to work out regularly and I was looking for something to help with his neck and shoulders tilt. This is perfect, thank you so much!
I have schuermanns kyphosis. I had a 10 level fusion T3-L1 (20 screws 2 rods 2 connections) I had a horrible humpback that got progressively worse. My pain has increased from the surgery but I’m not going to die. The bones turned into triangle shaped instead of rectangles. 4 vertebrae around my heart had zero disc left and they essentially crushed together. The bones were in splinter form. I’ve never had a job that I’ve been allowed to sit at, and usually had 2 of them. Mostly restaurants, but always standing and lifting. You should see my MRI pics, titanium ladder from collarbone to bellybutton areas. I’m not trying to blame it on anyone, I was born in the 70’s, nobody knew anything about it or what to do if they did. The surgeries of yesteryear were butcher jobs. I think it was from the insanely heavy backpacks we used to have to carry, every book almost everyday to and from school. I remember this pop/squish breath taking thing in like 10th grade or so. This I guess is a super rare disease / birth defect, 1 in a million type thing. The strangest, creepiest thing, my next door neighbor who was my age and in my graduating year was diagnosed with it too! I hadn’t seen him for nearly 20 years and we eventually got to talking about back problems. I oddly wonder if the mill that was close to us had issues. It was some sort of battery production place, (space shuttle batteries I think). Reason for all this; I wish kids were taught this while they’re still resilient and could get the best posture foundation to start life with rather than trying to undo it when it’s far too late. You gave actual steps to do, it’s much more effective than to yell at a kid to sit up or stand up straight.
Ristube , I can relate, I have kyphosis and levoscoliosis due to ankylosis. I was just curious if there's any possibility of straightening out my spine to any degree. I am going to do any of the exercises I physically can. Good luck to you as well!

JayGee75 Hey bud, as I’m sure you know, everyone is different and respond in many ways. That being said, much has to do with age. My probs started at about 18 years old noticeably getting more and more hunchbacked. I lost a great deal of weight, which helped in a few ways, strain, improper alignment, but the big part was that I could move easier (walking mostly). The condition progressively got worse. I didn’t have medical insurance so I did my best self diagnosing, self medicating, and being aware of my limits. I do wish I had done some research to find posture correcting equipment. I found after the surgery I was put into a full brace from collarbone to hips, that although blinding pain post surgery, it felt so much better being constricted, holding posture. I have seen something I will be getting, it looks like a T shirt with bands on the front and back to work along the same line as my full brace just shirt rather than the football shoulder pads look. The brace had many strings to pull tighter, but the shirt at this point, I hope would be enough, without little kids staring and asking “what’s wrong with that man mommy?” I got the original from Hangar Prosthetics, not sure how big the company is, any prosthetics in your area should be able to help. They were very nice to work with, and helped me understand the million adjustments I could make. I’m also not sure if they’re only available at a prosthetic places either. I did see some online, never in a store or anything. I’d be happy to try to answer any questions you may have. I know how crappy these conditions are, and how little help you seem to get. Best wishes.
JayGee75 braces and physical therapy. The specific exercises help immensely. I bought an inversion table to flip me upside down. The decompression of the discs as well as taking the weight off being opposite to gravity really felt nice. Also a tens unit, cheap enough online and worth the money.
What you said about the mill had me curious, I grew up by an abandoned battery plant that was later remediated, we played in the building and on the property. Later on I was tested and had high lead levels, my pain started maybe a few years later. Years of being misdiagnosed in my late 30s I found out I have severe ankylosing spondylitis, I was prescribed a brace that my insurance wouldn't pay for and I still have not gone through physical therapy. I am doing some research and trying to do what I can to get better. Sorry to ramble about my history. Looking at my xrays, rods and pins won't help but so far hip arthroplasty and what exercise has made a difference. Lost weight and ditched the narcotics. Like you I have. forced bad posture. I was always told to sit up straight as well. I have been told the surgery is too risky to straighten my spine. Best wishes to you!
Thank goodness that my work payed off even before watching this video. I used to have terrible posture but for 6 months I have solved every problem except the swoop.
J G I know he has a couple vids addressing the low back, thoracic spine and IT band, but I would love to know his perspective on his top foam rolling techniques for other muscles as well (e.g. hamstrings, calf muscles, erector spinae, hip flexors, etc.), how to know which muscle you should foam roll, the best time to foam roll, etc. :)
cesar daniel Your right, it's a 4 year old video now. I've been thinking that lately myself. He's got a lot of old videos like that he should update for all of the new viewers. I mean, how many people go back to watch old AX videos? 1 out of 10?
I get it now! Growing the beard and mustache fixed everything. I admit, I had to look at the picture a few times. Just messing with you. You did a great job!
Great video. What amazes me is why this is not taught at school. Never even had advice like this from my doctor. Now in my early 50s and suffered for decades with back, shoulder and neck issue, it's time for change! Thanks :)
This is exactly my problem...I've been fighting this with physical therapy, but I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and it's been hard to keep the gains I make. I am now on full drug therapy and my strength is increasing. I'm glad I found this video, and I'm going to try these exercises because they seem like they'd work better than the ones I've been doing. Thank you for providing this video for free!
Me being a Gym Scrub hearing " I dont think you can make good muscle gains unless you have good posture." Paused the vid and smashed the subscribe button
@Tushar Sachdeva i aggree, most of the other channels seem to say the same thing in different ways and try to back up their points by showing off their own muscles as if that by itself is enough to get us to our ideal bodies
Hi Jeff/Geoff (sorry not sure which way you spell your name)Just wanted to send you a big thank you, wishes and Luv. During lockdown in NZ I developed a really painful back pain between shoulder blades and lower back I stuggled to move and I realised watching your videos it was all posture related. Your videos are FANTASTIC, they way you explain what is happening why its happening and why and how you can fix it is so clear and easy to follow. It made a massive difference to me and my husband!! THANK YOU!! All the best!🙏👍🎉
Posture is soooo key and essential for muscle development and filling in. The first thing that I noticed out of my transformation was more so my posture than my muscle growth! Posture is conducive to muscle growth. It’s changed the way I look, how I sit, and even how I text on my phone: using it upright - it’s awkward in public bc it looks like I’m taking a photo of someone lol. I raise my phone more to eye level and reduce my neck tilt! Anyway, I used to practice against a wall, but now I focus on my glutes + abs. Even when I walk, I use these muscles loads more than how I used to. I also sleep flat sometimes - I dunno if that’s recommended but be careful about eating before sleeping, to avoid acid reflux! Go posture!
As a 21 year old girl I think it's finally time to fix my bad posture, I feel like this video can be my way out. I will be checking in once and again to report my progress :)
My Posture got jacked up hardcore after I broke my neck and back in a car accident, but Ive been working really really hard trying to fix it, it's tough for sure but it's getting better the more and more I keep focused on working on it.... Plus it really brought down my self esteem, but it's getting better everyday because I keep trying to stand up straight and I've also been lifting weights again... I will keep you in my prayers Mocha B god bless and don't give up ..
I know this is a dumb idea but if your knee injury isnt too severe you should still look for exercises that fix your posture. Like even laying on the floor and doing certain back exercises help.
Thank god for this video, I've had a horrible hunch my entire life. My PT teachers had to tie me to my chair with large rubber bands to get me to not slump. And now I have mild scoliosis.
UsoppFanGirl That’s because the constant uneven pressure on part of the disc pinched by the vertebrae reduces blood flow to that region, and so the necessary nutrition fails to get to the cells of the disc - and deterioration occurs. Fix this by effort and attention.
I am a 3rd year physical therapy student. Your postural muscles are "endurance muscles" unlike muscles like your quads or glutes, which are typically called "power muscles." For endurance muscles you want to work on time based sets instead of focusing on number of reps/sets. What this means is to try to do maybe 30 second holds for 4 sets each day (for example). Every time you do these exercises you are going to want to try to increase the amount of time you are able to hold that correct posture position. In addition, you want to be as conscious of your posture as you can throughout the day. If you find yourself in a poor neck posture, correct it while you are thinking about this. It takes over 10,000 reps to break/start a habit, so catching your poor posture and correcting it will help to lead you to better posture in addition to the exercises in this video. I know I am 6 months late, but I hope this is helpful!
I work at the subaru factory in Indiana and I do a bunch of different stuff but mostly putting in the wiring harness and putting in sunroofs all day is what has really fucked my posture and just glad u made this vid so I can start to fix my posture and get rid of this horrible pain
Again, much love and many many thank you from above ❤❤ The detailed videos, explaining what causes planters fasciitis and the steps you need to take to correct the problem is eye-opening 👀and an absolutely amazing absolutely amazing!!! I recently had my taste of planters fasciitis. after seeing your videos, I am going to take the steps to correct my posture and do my stretching every day. I’m rounding my 47th birthday coming in April 2024 and having a run with this was no fun whatsoever. I’m currently suffering from it right now and I’m learning after much research on my end that walking around on concrete floors in the garage in the backyard is not a good thing for me , again thank you so much for sharing. It’s been a lifesaver.❤❤
The reason it seems so shaky is because the shutter speed is to low. Make the shutter speed twice the frames per second. For instance. if you are shooting 24 fps then make the shutter 1/50
Ezra Games i always see these commands and agree! But they do need to make a point and overreact a little dont you think? Not a filter but some light and position cheats, they did make you click it wich makes it already a succes.

Hi Jeff, didn't know another way to contact, but have you done any vids on Subscapularis? Struggling with this at me and would like your take on how to fix it. Great channel btw and been a source of brilliant info for me for a while now.

@@anujbarochia3845 first correct attempt ( took 8 tries to finally get the best form ) immidiately fixed it , and even my chest looked bigger now but after a week it returned as the chest muscles are bigger and stronger so they pulled me back to shit posture again , so i started doing them everyday to permanently strengthen the muscles and then over time my posture got better , traps etc looked better and i even got better at the movement so i loaded it even heavier and one day my right shoulder's rear delt i felt a popping in it which somehow reactivated the rear delt which i couldnt feel ever before , it even helps with bench pressing and will help u achieve higher PRs if you are consistent with it , fav one of these exercises has to be the broomstick tho it helped me get a good mind muscle connection with my obliques and now training them is easy af

Many thanks Jeff! I've trained all my life and have been a fitness instructor since 2005. I'm 60 years old this year. This has been very educational and I've needed this guidance. In my opinion yourself and Phil Daru,though different are two of the very best educators out there on RUclips. Much respect and I wish you every success!👍😊
I have a headache at least once a week because of bad posture and sitting behind a desk. These movements fixed it immediately I just felt the pain seeping away. Jeff really has changed my life in so many ways I dont ever regret putting my faith in him
Carrying a 40 pound backpack around school and having to bend forward to keep myself upright probably isn't helping
exactly what i was thinking
This is exactly what ruined my posture! All those "nerds" with their rolling backpacks that I made fun on are now laughing at me! Cuz now I have the nerd neck
Try to flattening it with your back by adjusting its 2 hands and use the backpack which has extra strap on your abdomen
Facts
I’ve always had bad posture but lugging around a heavy ass bag in school did not help. Because I carried every book and binder to every class because we simply were not given enough time between classes to get from half our classes to our lockers (and the schools I went to had small lockers three to a row) and if you had a middle or bottom locker sometimes eve a top locker you were screwed and would be late, and being late was not an option for me as most teachers would hear nothing of it if you tried to explain it was because of the crowds at the lockers.
Now I work in an office at a desk so being at a phone and computer all day kn top of being a gamer its worsened my posture and I’ve been working to fix it. Its not perfect but its getting there but I have a tilted pelvis and thats what I really need to work on. Even though I’m correcting it keeping it is hard because I resort to my bad posture when my back starts hurting from the many accidents I’ve been in.
Doing these posture series videos helped fixed my neck pain, frozen shoulders, tight low back, tight abs, anterior pelvic tilt, tight glutes, weak hamstrings, rickety knees(left would give out unexpectedly), strained left calf and chronic cramping in my left foot. I'd recommend if any of these sound like issues you've faced.

@@thegrateful1616 LMAO
This video cures bad posture, anxiety and depression. I have bad posture, worse than the guy in the video had before. Bad posture, not only lowers your stamina through the day but also lowers your confidence, your sleep and your cognition. I can speak by myself. The 'nerd neck' as he called it, constrains the blood flow to the brain, triggering anxiety. You can't properly relax while sleeping, you are always making an huge effort to look straight and good in public, as your heavy head only wants to fall down and you can't walk normally. You can't oxygenate the brain properly, you can't relax neither body neither mind 24/7. What a great video. I've been trying to fix my posture for some time now, but all I see is standing straight on a wall doctor videos. It is a good exercise too. But by what this trainer spoke and by what I've been researching for the last year in the subject, he really knows what he is talking about. Many doctors instead a prescribing pills to patients, they should look first at their posture and forward them to this kind of treatment. Bad posture heavily messes with health, confidence and cognition.
Ricardo Pinho thank you for this. Life saver
Thank you.
Me neither, I only extrapolated by personal experience. Where do you feel more anxiety? In the thorax. Anxiety is only a command from our brain to our thorax to demand oxygen. This happens when you have a thinking overload and lack of oxygen in the brain to supply all those neurons working.
How long did it take to see a difference
I haven't been doing those exercises for a while. My posture isn't completely fixed yet. It's better than before, but I saw some difference doing those exercises about 1h during 1week. Then neck exercise I'm scared of... Instead of that he does in the video, I don't dot it laying down, I sit on a chair, balance the chair back and push my back against the back of the chair and then my neck and chin back.
Jeff is such a good dad to Jessie. I love seeing Jessie's smiles.
Your videos inspired me to workout Jeff, I was 190 January 1st and I weight 174 as of today, I am also seeing muscle on my body, something that I never saw in my 25 years of life. Thanks for the awesome videos.

Thanks so much, I'm a forty year old woman who has done no physical exercise for ten years seriously! My postures appalling and my muscles are so weak its unbelievable, I cant even squat. I even tried a basic yoga stretch, pushed a little hard and pulled pelvic ligament due to lack of flexibility. I'm in pain, extremely unhealthy and your video is the best I've seen. Your really friendly, motivating and the exercises are simple enough, (I have to adapt the pulling one as dont go to gym,no confidence) and the fact theres only four isnt overwhelming. Its hard to start making a difference n change your life but my fitness journey has to start with a single step and that's your little exercises. Sorry for the essay but I felt if I write a comment and also take before and after pics I have to hold myself accountable. Thank you for inspiring me! I'll show you the afters one day!
Best of luck!
I've never felt so personally attacked by a video until now. Got some work to do.

@@blank7940 My best advice would be to get some resistance bands (possibly in the 20-30lbs range) and anchor them to a railing or something similar on face height.

Are you still doing these and do they help?
My lower back pain is excruciating. After the simple Thumb pressure and leg extension, the pain alleviated enough to walk, but still hurts a lot. My posture looks like Jesse's, and my wife continues to tell me "Straighten Up!". I'm gonna continue watching your videos. THANKS SO MUCH!!

Thomas Eames : did you keep it up?
@@takeiteazyd I went to a chiropractor for 5 sessions, but I was not happy with the results, price, or his style, especially after viewing a few other chiropractors on RUclips and how they were treating their patients! And although my back doesnt hurt anymore (so long as I dont bend backwards, lift anything heavy, or basically do anything strenuous), I am suffering from a significant amount of pain in my left leg on the side of the shin, as well as, pain in my left hip. This wasnt a problem until after I went to the chiropractor. So I dont know if it's a result of the healing process, sciatica, buldging disk, or of he caused it. Anyway, I have to stretch multie times a day to ease the pain, with 400-800mg Ibprophen tabs 1 time a day for the pain.
Thank you for asking. It's more than I got from the chiropractor after i abruptly stopped going to see him, not even a phone call, email, or text conveying any concern over me or my whereabouts! Perhaps he thinks im dead, in jail, in the hospital, or that I have been laying on the floor for the last 3 weeks, unable to get back up due to the horrendous pain and doesnt want to bother me!! Lol.
Anyway, any suggestions to help me get rid of the pain in my leg or hip? I'm gonna try the flour dough pin roller on my back to see of it helps.

@@adiyo7159 thanks Adi. I'll check it out. It cant be worse than what the supposed chiropractor has done for me in the past month or so. I refuse his treatment, if u wanna call it that, and for the price he was charging me, i could have taken a nice relaxing vacation somewhere that gives free massages and other luxuries, like in Napa wine country and the natural hot springs up there!!
Hi I want to tell you that YOU ARE A SUPERSTAR!! I have been doing these four exercises for about a week. I already feel better physically which is the main thing I’m happy about! The second thing is I visited my chiropractor yesterday who did notice a difference in my posture!!

i also have a rounded back and even when i try to correct my posture i feel pain in my back, these workouts look very helpful i'll try them
My parents have been telling me that you can't fix a rounded back after the age of 18 because your skeleton has completely been formed at this age. I'm 19 now and I want to get rid of my rounded upper back.So,is it actually possible to fix it at this age or not?
Marik Micle it’s possible the guy in the video is definitely over 18
@@marikmicle7456 age doesn't really matter. Your body is always adapting. Older people just lose motivation and stop challenging themselves. Unlikess your like 90+ you can always work on your body. Your bones also dont always stay the same. They basically disintegrate and regernate back every 10 years which keeps them more fresh so to speak. Our bodies are designed to be challenged and the more you challenge it the more stronger it'll become
@@marikmicle7456 that's totally wrong , don't believe an old saying if there's no research to back it up. You can actually correct your posture even if you are old it just take dedication and discipline.

Have been a student of Martial Arts on and off for 25 years, 4-5 times a week in the past 10, and in decent shape at age 54.

I've been combining similar stretches + yoga class 2x week and my posture corrector from Berlin & Daughter after extra long days at the office. Think the instant relief really makes a difference. A lot of these exercises were super uncomfortable at first (especially the face pulls omg) but def easier now. I think the power for me is in keeping the exercises up, and not expecting a permanent fix, because lots of things make your posture bad/weak again (sitting at my desk, driving a car, general slouching, etc). So I try to keep it up and that's been really helpful!
Right posture is a true necessity which keeps one away from the back pain, neck pain and other unwanted pains. Thank you for the video.

Chair sits against a wall were big in my family...
I’m a Jesse - rounded shoulders, nerd neck and anterior pelvic tilt. When it’s bad I am several pants sizes bigger than I should be because my belly sways out so much. I’ve fixed it several times in my life but when I let it go it’s so hard to get it back 😐. This has inspired me to work hard at correcting it again and keeping it that way 👍
denicekimberly. Put needles facing your neck in your shirt collar. It'll keep you from letting it go😂😂😂
How did you fix it before?
What Did you do?
I used to have all of these, to fix it, my advice is to make your effort in sitting straight and walking straight. Because these are daily activities, they are also the main causes of this mess, that's why you must also address them for faster results Most people with these problems never sit straight or walk straight, if you don't, do this. When you sit focus in your upper back. Sit on a backless chair like you do naturally, and look yourself in a mirror. You might notice your upper back is rounded, now try to straighten it up, stick your chest out more than you normally do, also stretching your back. You might get tired after a while but that way you will start to work the muscles that keep your spine straight and eventually you will do it unconsciously. Now do the same thing when you walk. Stand still and look yourself in a mirror, you might also see that your upper back is rounded, again, straighten it up and look up (moving your whole neck also) forcing your spine to straighten up, this may also be tiring but eventually you will do those movements naturally. To address the round shoulders you can exaggerate the movement and bring them as back as you can, as you see in this video. And for the nerd neck, follow this video's exercise and make an effort to look up when walking and sitting (not all of the time of course just as an exercise but NEVER look down, maintain a normal level). My tilted pelvis is not completely fixed but by following all of what I just told you it diminished significantly, so follow this video too. Of course don't forget to do some exercise too (not really necessary if you do the previous but it will certainly help in getting faster results), focus in your core and overall upper body, but gluts are also crucial. And that's how in some months I significantly fixed my posture, but i will also follow some of this video's exercises to furthermore solve the problem.

Did you get that way during your puberty or later? How old were you when you started doing all the excercises and how long did it took for you to fix yourself up? I´m 22 years old with EXACTLY the same back as Jesse had, I need to fix it...
This channel’s PT and back pain segments saved my life. Young daughter to chase, Jeff thank you sir!
Very luckily people get this kind of trainers
I really hope you are not a native English speaker
i dont care It's not even bad. The s in trainer is the only thing that throws the you off.
And yeah luckily but it could've been autocorrect we don't know that part. My brain auto fixed it for me to say lucky.
Fariko Wishless :*
i dont care ?
I was on in a Gym , the one and only one , the trainer turned into a jerk - last time I ever got to Gym -later I found out he was elite-cyclist ( eg the last people i thrust , they must he be hells angels of atleths -so i wasn't supprised )
"We have to attack that pelvis."
that's what he said
Hell yeah
Yes

The look my mans gave him lmao
You open my eyes and give me knowledge I never knew I needed.
wow. I went to a physical therapy clinic for 11 sessions to help my sciatica pain---nothing was mentioned the whole time about my poor posture and neck issues. Needless to say the sciatica never got better. I'm going to do these exercises for sure...thank you so much. Lakeland, Florida
I just did that thing with the Metalbar/broomstick, and it feels amazing, like my shoulders are so much more light! What the hell! :D
Hell yeah man I'm pumped now
Me and my spine are about to get it on
Yeah I tried it and it hurt like hell and it was kinda hard for me but my shoulders look and feel much better now
@@drengr8691 yeah im about 1 month in, and i had pain in my shoulders, mostly when i was gaming, but i did this every week once and its way better now😊
Remember to RELAX and breathe whenever you stretch, you can't stretch a muscle by force! This P. T. is right-on about putting form first, once you have the body mechanics down, slowly stretch to the point of resistance then relax and breathe into your stretch and allow your tension to melt as your muscles lengthen!
Ahhh.... Feels so good. 💪💛👍
Jesse is making some serious progress. Keep it up my man!
I miss read it as 'Jesus is making some serious progress' 😂😂😂
Thank you for the tip, I am 61 years of age and recently I have been in pain in my upper shoulders I will be stating these exercises right away.
I absolutely love this. I’m a side sleeper and I especially notice my right shoulder is trying to curve inward and i can hear and feel a clicking noise. I followed along with this video and I found immediate relief and increase movements. Still pain and clicking noise. Thank you ❤❤❤
The young man seems very cheerful and enthusiast, good model!
blackpprs
He looks like an alien
His boy friend IS not a alien
This better be good just left another athleanx video for this
Posture has always been my number one issue. Thanks so much!
I need this video exercise! I developed a bad posture since I became a truck driver. Now it’s a pain.
Jeff’s the man! AN ABSOLUTE LEGEND 😎💪
Tod Tellin What I mean by saying LEGEND is that we will still know who Jeff is in 20 years. No doubt 😉
Tod Tellin Sure thing bro!
Gave Thanks man, I’ll work on it! 👊
Anybody know what brand that face pull attachment is?
Jesse is the man!
I stopped lifting this year and I've noticed my posture worsened, thank you for helping me fix it. I'll work at it. 😊
Kinda wish someone showed me this 20 freakin years ago :(
took the words out of my mouth
NEVER too late. Never.
Took the dick right out of my mouth.
Did I say that right? I'm kind of old and don't know any hip slang.
Get it, HIP SLANG. Because my hip is out again.
*Hey everyone, I'm his great grand nephew, he hired me to write comments for him. I have to say, the dick in the mouth thing isn't too far from the truth. Ok, back to him
What in the hell, Gregg, I didn't tell you to write that. Hey, don't write that either. And pull up your pants, you look like a damn ...
*he said some racist stuff that I won't type.
Why won't you type it, Gregory? You fucking pussy. Too scared of hurting people's feeling? Back in my day, if someone said something you didn't like, you punched them right in the face. And if you said the wrong thing to the wrong person, you got punched in the face. Today you pussies cry about everything on the god damn internet. Turn that fucking phone off before I jam it up your skinny pimply ass.
@@chadd990 You alright?
He brings up a really good point about posture actually, I've recently realised how fucking bad my posture is and it's clearly something that's been building up over the years and making me uncomfortable, I wouldn't be surprised if it's affected my weight a bit as well. I think a lot of health problems that people have especially in regards to weight are just down to desk work over long periods of time and doing nothing to correct it, I know i'm guilty of that.
Jessie. The gains are totally showing bud. Great job. Now teach Jeff how to engage his cinematography core so he’s not shaking like a leaf when he’s filming.
Finally, I'm so happy I've found this channel. I'm a former Ballet dancer, so I'm very aware of posture, however, my fiance totally is in Jessy's previous state. He just started to work out regularly and I was looking for something to help with his neck and shoulders tilt. This is perfect, thank you so much!
I have schuermanns kyphosis. I had a 10 level fusion T3-L1 (20 screws 2 rods 2 connections) I had a horrible humpback that got progressively worse. My pain has increased from the surgery but I’m not going to die. The bones turned into triangle shaped instead of rectangles. 4 vertebrae around my heart had zero disc left and they essentially crushed together. The bones were in splinter form. I’ve never had a job that I’ve been allowed to sit at, and usually had 2 of them. Mostly restaurants, but always standing and lifting. You should see my MRI pics, titanium ladder from collarbone to bellybutton areas. I’m not trying to blame it on anyone, I was born in the 70’s, nobody knew anything about it or what to do if they did. The surgeries of yesteryear were butcher jobs. I think it was from the insanely heavy backpacks we used to have to carry, every book almost everyday to and from school. I remember this pop/squish breath taking thing in like 10th grade or so. This I guess is a super rare disease / birth defect, 1 in a million type thing. The strangest, creepiest thing, my next door neighbor who was my age and in my graduating year was diagnosed with it too! I hadn’t seen him for nearly 20 years and we eventually got to talking about back problems. I oddly wonder if the mill that was close to us had issues. It was some sort of battery production place, (space shuttle batteries I think).
Reason for all this; I wish kids were taught this while they’re still resilient and could get the best posture foundation to start life with rather than trying to undo it when it’s far too late. You gave actual steps to do, it’s much more effective than to yell at a kid to sit up or stand up straight.
Ristube , I can relate, I have kyphosis and levoscoliosis due to ankylosis. I was just curious if there's any possibility of straightening out my spine to any degree. I am going to do any of the exercises I physically can. Good luck to you as well!

JayGee75 Hey bud, as I’m sure you know, everyone is different and respond in many ways. That being said, much has to do with age. My probs started at about 18 years old noticeably getting more and more hunchbacked. I lost a great deal of weight, which helped in a few ways, strain, improper alignment, but the big part was that I could move easier (walking mostly). The condition progressively got worse. I didn’t have medical insurance so I did my best self diagnosing, self medicating, and being aware of my limits. I do wish I had done some research to find posture correcting equipment. I found after the surgery I was put into a full brace from collarbone to hips, that although blinding pain post surgery, it felt so much better being constricted, holding posture. I have seen something I will be getting, it looks like a T shirt with bands on the front and back to work along the same line as my full brace just shirt rather than the football shoulder pads look. The brace had many strings to pull tighter, but the shirt at this point, I hope would be enough, without little kids staring and asking “what’s wrong with that man mommy?” I got the original from Hangar Prosthetics, not sure how big the company is, any prosthetics in your area should be able to help. They were very nice to work with, and helped me understand the million adjustments I could make. I’m also not sure if they’re only available at a prosthetic places either. I did see some online, never in a store or anything.
I’d be happy to try to answer any questions you may have. I know how crappy these conditions are, and how little help you seem to get.
Best wishes.
JayGee75 braces and physical therapy. The specific exercises help immensely. I bought an inversion table to flip me upside down. The decompression of the discs as well as taking the weight off being opposite to gravity really felt nice. Also a tens unit, cheap enough online and worth the money.
What you said about the mill had me curious, I grew up by an abandoned battery plant that was later remediated, we played in the building and on the property. Later on I was tested and had high lead levels, my pain started maybe a few years later. Years of being misdiagnosed in my late 30s I found out I have severe ankylosing spondylitis, I was prescribed a brace that my insurance wouldn't pay for and I still have not gone through physical therapy. I am doing some research and trying to do what I can to get better. Sorry to ramble about my history. Looking at my xrays, rods and pins won't help but so far hip arthroplasty and what exercise has made a difference. Lost weight and ditched the narcotics. Like you I have. forced bad posture. I was always told to sit up straight as well. I have been told the surgery is too risky to straighten my spine. Best wishes to you!
Thank goodness that my work payed off even before watching this video. I used to have terrible posture but for 6 months I have solved every problem except the swoop.
Jeff do a video on DOs and DON’Ts on foam rolling please! Thanks
J G I know he has a couple vids addressing the low back, thoracic spine and IT band, but I would love to know his perspective on his top foam rolling techniques for other muscles as well (e.g. hamstrings, calf muscles, erector spinae, hip flexors, etc.), how to know which muscle you should foam roll, the best time to foam roll, etc. :)
Don’t foam roll. Is what he said.
cesar daniel Your right, it's a 4 year old video now. I've been thinking that lately myself. He's got a lot of old videos like that he should update for all of the new viewers. I mean, how many people go back to watch old AX videos? 1 out of 10?
He's already done it and it has already been plagiarized
I get it now! Growing the beard and mustache fixed everything. I admit, I had to look at the picture a few times.
Just messing with you. You did a great job!
Great video. What amazes me is why this is not taught at school. Never even had advice like this from my doctor. Now in my early 50s and suffered for decades with back, shoulder and neck issue, it's time for change! Thanks :)
This is exactly my problem...I've been fighting this with physical therapy, but I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and it's been hard to keep the gains I make. I am now on full drug therapy and my strength is increasing. I'm glad I found this video, and I'm going to try these exercises because they seem like they'd work better than the ones I've been doing. Thank you for providing this video for free!
This was in my recommendation when I after I was talking about my brothers bad posture...
I’m convinced that it was listening to me
A.I in the phones without us knowing it yet
This is such a great video! But can anyone help with how many reps/time should be spent on each? Thanks so much
Me being a Gym Scrub hearing " I dont think you can make good muscle gains unless you have good posture."
Paused the vid and smashed the subscribe button
@Tushar Sachdeva i aggree, most of the other channels seem to say the same thing in different ways and try to back up their points by showing off their own muscles as if that by itself is enough to get us to our ideal bodies
Why did you pause?
Expect a video on posture from V shred in a couple months.
Martin Gamer 😂😂😂
Martin Gamer sooo true lmao
Martin Gamer v aint got nothing on jeff fo sho
No he won't.
He operates on more a 2 - 3 year lag.
It probably won't take him that long, maybe a week or 2 at the most lol.
Hi Jeff/Geoff (sorry not sure which way you spell your name)Just wanted to send you a big thank you, wishes and Luv. During lockdown in NZ I developed a really painful back pain between shoulder blades and lower back I stuggled to move and I realised watching your videos it was all posture related. Your videos are FANTASTIC, they way you explain what is happening why its happening and why and how you can fix it is so clear and easy to follow. It made a massive difference to me and my husband!! THANK YOU!! All the best!🙏👍🎉
Posture is soooo key and essential for muscle development and filling in. The first thing that I noticed out of my transformation was more so my posture than my muscle growth!
Posture is conducive to muscle growth. It’s changed the way I look, how I sit, and even how I text on my phone: using it upright - it’s awkward in public bc it looks like I’m taking a photo of someone lol. I raise my phone more to eye level and reduce my neck tilt!
Anyway, I used to practice against a wall, but now I focus on my glutes + abs. Even when I walk, I use these muscles loads more than how I used to.
I also sleep flat sometimes - I dunno if that’s recommended but be careful about eating before sleeping, to avoid acid reflux!
Go posture!
I was wondering about my posture right now... then jeff uploaded , thank you jeff
lmao.. Same here.
You and me buddy
As a 21 year old girl I think it's finally time to fix my bad posture, I feel like this video can be my way out. I will be checking in once and again to report my progress :)
Best of luck to you, I'm getting after it too....
Hell yeah
My Posture got jacked up hardcore after I broke my neck and back in a car accident, but Ive been working really really hard trying to fix it, it's tough for sure but it's getting better the more and more I keep focused on working on it.... Plus it really brought down my self esteem, but it's getting better everyday because I keep trying to stand up straight and I've also been lifting weights again... I will keep you in my prayers Mocha B god bless and don't give up ..
update after 3 weeks: I have a knee injury so I am pausing these exercises for a bit to get some rest. will continue later
I know this is a dumb idea but if your knee injury isnt too severe you should still look for exercises that fix your posture. Like even laying on the floor and doing certain back exercises help.
My ten-year-old son already manifests all these negatives (takes after his dad), so I hope I can help him via these demos. Thx!
If I had enough money, Jeff would be my personal trainer!
a lot of money.
@@tangetaier1783 whole lotta
Thank god for this video, I've had a horrible hunch my entire life. My PT teachers had to tie me to my chair with large rubber bands to get me to not slump.
And now I have mild scoliosis.
UsoppFanGirl
That’s because the constant uneven pressure on part of the disc pinched by the vertebrae reduces blood flow to that region, and so the necessary nutrition fails to get to the cells of the disc - and deterioration occurs.
Fix this by effort and attention.
So how many reps, how often, and how long to look for improvement?
I am a 3rd year physical therapy student. Your postural muscles are "endurance muscles" unlike muscles like your quads or glutes, which are typically called "power muscles." For endurance muscles you want to work on time based sets instead of focusing on number of reps/sets. What this means is to try to do maybe 30 second holds for 4 sets each day (for example). Every time you do these exercises you are going to want to try to increase the amount of time you are able to hold that correct posture position. In addition, you want to be as conscious of your posture as you can throughout the day. If you find yourself in a poor neck posture, correct it while you are thinking about this. It takes over 10,000 reps to break/start a habit, so catching your poor posture and correcting it will help to lead you to better posture in addition to the exercises in this video. I know I am 6 months late, but I hope this is helpful!
Logan Koopman thanks man!
I work at the subaru factory in Indiana and I do a bunch of different stuff but mostly putting in the wiring harness and putting in sunroofs all day is what has really fucked my posture and just glad u made this vid so I can start to fix my posture and get rid of this horrible pain
I didn‘t know Jake Gyllenhaal was in this video
i was looking for a comment like this! lol
@@BritneiCamarena same here
Where can I find a trainer like Jeff. Man. What a lad
what channel???
What's up with the frame drops?
Jayant Bose this^
Marticus his movements are too fast for regular cameras
Probably recorded with low shutter speed
Gosh I thought it was my phone or WiFi connection or something. Glad you posted this comment, I was going crazy
even 4 titan X's couldn't handle details on that armpit
Again, much love and many many thank you from above ❤❤
The detailed videos, explaining what causes planters fasciitis and the steps you need to take to correct the problem is eye-opening 👀and an absolutely amazing absolutely amazing!!!
I recently had my taste of planters fasciitis. after seeing your videos, I am going to take the steps to correct my posture and do my stretching every day.
I’m rounding my 47th birthday coming in April 2024 and having a run with this was no fun whatsoever. I’m currently suffering from it right now and I’m learning after much research on my end that walking around on concrete floors in the garage in the backyard is not a good thing for me , again thank you so much for sharing. It’s been a lifesaver.❤❤
The reason it seems so shaky is because the shutter speed is to low. Make the shutter speed twice the frames per second. For instance. if you are shooting 24 fps then make the shutter 1/50
Ezra Games i always see these commands and agree! But they do need to make a point and overreact a little dont you think? Not a filter but some light and position cheats, they did make you click it wich makes it already a succes.
Ezra Games yeah it is shaky breh its so shaky!
that isn't even 24 fps tho
"for Instance"
huh?
