043: 9 Keys to Building Flexibility & Mobility That Actually Translates to Sports - The PJF Podcast

[@prabsharankaknia8479]

That was an interesting intro, I like it👍. Also, i just finished my first workout in durability code prime, just finished restore last week. I must say, it’s a masterpiece. Chef’s kiss.

[@pjfperformance]

Glad you’re liking the programs my guy! Keep up the work 🙏

[@prabsharankaknia8479]

@@pjfperformance thanks, your programs are the best at what they do by far. I was also checking out some of the exercises and I was laughing at how fun they looked😂. Way to make it even more enjoyable.

[@charlesborel8493]

What I like about Paul is he isn’t some bloated strength coach that thinks he knows how to run/jump higher. He actually did this and has real experience. It’s like having a boss at work that knows what you need to get the job done, as opposed to a boss that has sat in a office his whole career. I was just thinking about flexibility today and 💥

[@pjfperformance]

Thanks my man! Really appreciate that. I do think it helps that I’ve been through it myself 🙏.

Love the military style jacked old school strength coaches that think that if they are jacked they know about strength

[@ElevateYourselfOfficial]

Fantastic episode as always. “Our issues live in our tissues” - I’m stealing that gem 🔥🔥. In general, I’ve always found that 90% of the athletes I train are often too tight and have very limited muscle length/range of motion. Anecdotally, I’ve found that static stretching has still been very benefit with most athletes, especially when it comes to achieving positions for weight lifting and sport. I do believe it is still important to have 10-20 degrees greater range of motion (train that range WITH tension) than what is required for their lifts and sport versus just training specifically for the “sport specific” range of motion.

Hey Coach Donny! Awesome to see you here, keep up the videos.

Hi Paul great work, as a Strength and Coach and CHEK Faculty, my son told me about you a year ago. You are a breath of fresh air. I've being in the Industry for 30 years. Love how you are changing the basketball world. My son is on a Scholarship in US, from Australia and has been using your work. Thank you for all you work Paul.

[@Siris28]

Our Issues live in our tissues, breathing mechanics, thanks for making the basics look as important as they should be. We are humans (and in extend animals) and we always forget about the fundamentals of living. We need to build upon these principles so we can improve. I am a PT student who watches your educational content and Connor’s content and it is an inspiration for me to keep searching and learning about the staff that you mentioning. I found them pretty game-changing way of thought and there are things that I thing can help me to learn how to help as best as I can the people that I can reach. Shout out to coach Donny (Elevate Yourself) for mentioning you in one of his videos and gave me the opportunity to be a better PT, human being and athlete by learning more from every one of you!

[@darrenplayzgamez3045]

As I've grew older, I have a significant increase in the degree of control for my overall health. Im 16 now and been trying to save money to get durability code! Looking forward to it sir!

[@whatup]

Amazing video, thanks for making it. I’m a textbook example of your Achilles tendon rupture. Did parkour for 10 years. Took a year off and did weight lifting. Went back to parkour and hit it hard and bam. Full rupture. Coming back fast and strong though 💪🏼

[@ElevateYourselfOfficial]

Another interesting concept to think about is longer limbed and taller athletes tend to be less flexible and I wonder if it’s because their leverages are greater, maybe there is just too much force at the end ranges for their muscles and tendons can safely handle similar to how their would be excessive force at the end range of a squat for longer limbed athletes which may not be a safe for them.

[@KingKobra49]

Hey, keep grinding ,stay positive,don’t doubt your abilities. It will all make sense 🤞🏽🙏🏽

Fantastic Podcast!!really really interesting for me and easy to understand all those deep concepts!!i m in to FDF and VC bodyweight and this podcast will help me a lot to improve my training. "Our Issues live in our tissues"is the gold nugget..i ll keep this in mind forever!!

Can’t wait to finish this! Btw I have to ask one question, How to rest during off season, but not lose workload, strength.. etc?

[@pjfperformance]

You don’t need to take a long rest period in off season. Should always stay active in some way

[@purgingz]

Thank you so much , I will these new tips to help stop recurring hamstring/ glute issues. I just want to be fully healthy. Sometimes I don’t know if I need to strengthen my glute or what

Informative info! I love this stuff and have a young daughter who plays competitive soccer who I incorporate a lot of these researched concepts. Just subscribed and will look into one of the programs.

[@himanshusprinter0444]

Literally feel like i learned a lot today thanku so much keep bringing videos like this please 💪❤

[@avrymons5737]

Top 3 episode for sure! All those practical gems. Quality movement drills (crosovers, skips etc) sounds like great sunday (off day) training to get moving and some blood flowing. Is it right or should they be performed with high intensity and can't count that as off day? Also we need Upper Echelon in Europe too! Don't hoard the good stuff in America pls

[@pjfperformance]

Thanks my man! Yes, cariocas, low intensity skips forward and backwards, etc. are great for off days. It’s mobility, fluidity and blood flow all in one. But in durability code we actually do a lot of it as an extension of our warmups instead of only on off days.

[@ancientnordicwisdom-teemus2991]

Thanks for this one. So great content!

[@dave.thedev]

It's a shame he's not as viral as KOT guy. but at the same time I guess that gives the squids an advantage in their sport over all the others going solely on KOT info.

[@masonmalaguti3463]

I mean kneesovertoes is basically for health and many people may just be interested in that

[@masonmalaguti3463]

I agree with u tho man

[@dave.thedev]

@@masonmalaguti3463 Yeah i think sometimes he pitches the athleticism side of it a bit hard, Isaiah Rivera tried him and even made a video warning athletes about the risks, because I think the one thing KoT doesn't teach well is exactly what Paul is talking about here, translating mobility and protection to high speeds and sports movement. KOT overemphasizes strength through length and full RoM ability.

[@AdeMed_]

great podcast as always, keep it up paul

[@dawathletics]

Mobility is about the amount of force you can produce in.4 seconds within that joint ROM

[@slavavassiliev3531]

Another great podcast. Don't agree with some stuff though regarding flexibility (and science either...). It would make sense that you differentiate between "passive" or "active" static stretching. I will take the time and share the stuff I don't agree with later. Anyways keep up the good work.

[@E4zyp34zyl3m0nsq33ZY]

You mentioned about all the research that’s already out there, would you be able to organise a list of material on for different areas that we enthusiasts could go check out on an on going basis? Add stuff as you go kind of thing even if it’s just titles to chase down ourselves (Maybe you’ve done this already I dunno ) Thanks for the content again, I thought it was really good.

Hi I could ask what is the best back rehabilitation because I grew up fast and now I have problems with my back

[@Elnovato093]

Amazing info !!!

[@Trfq5636]

What do you suggest I do sitting at school? Sitting on the floor isn’t really an option and standing up for too long isn’t really an option either. Is there a way I can sit in my chair differently throughout the day or find ways to move?

[@pjfperformance]

I wouldn’t stress it too much. Just stand up as frequently as possible even if it just standing up for 1 minute after 30 minutes of sitting. And once you get home I would stay out of chairs. Rest on the floor at home.

Im 45 two years ago i was training for split....i had only little progress and i feel my body somtimes tighter....how i know i reach my limit in range motion coz it seem im a bit stuck

[@kennyho4152]

As the researcher says that static stretching over 2mins will damage neuromuscular strength, any thoughts on that?

[@nathans.2827]

Yo PJ thanks for the vid, I’m 14 and looking to improve my athletic skills, but I’m overwhelmed with all this info and I do so much research, any recommendations?

[@MqxsMinecraft]

What do you think about the quote that “good teachers were bad players”

[@pjfperformance]

Sometimes it’s true. Most the great NBA players who I’ve watched train other players weren’t very good at coaching. But sometimes good players are great coaches. Just depends on the person.

[@giovannisanchez3478]

Paul question for you ,, I’m considering buying macmclung program elite got a 31inch vert at 17 have good plyometric experience got my vert to 31 by doing all bodyweight ploys recently joined a gym never properly done leg weights and my squat is 60kg x3 one time I ever done it if I get macmclung program elite version will this be best option for me Do you think ? I hope to achieve a 36+ inch vert
