Hey i wanted to ask you a question, are hindu squats bad for youre knees?

[@aalizel]

I suffer from chronic migraines that for some reason often start in my left shoulder and then move up to the left side of my head. For the past 2 months I've been doing these 'warm ups' almost every day when I feel pain in my shoulder, and miraculously it's often got rid of, or reduced the shoulder pain. This has meant that the pain in my shoulder doesn't always turn into a migrain, which it always would! I have felt so grateful for this video in helping to reduce my migraines, or at least the severity, that I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!

[@aalizel]

@Akash Raghav I use the 'lightest' (15lbs - 35lbs) band in a set of latex Teknifit resistance bands I bought on Amazon. I'm sure a similar product would work fine too.

[@cipsasmiaumiau3773]

I recently saw a video about this exact problem on Bob and Brad. Can't remember fully what it was about, just remember that it was not a problem with the shoulder but more about the neck . But maybe I am just schizo and can't remember stuff clearly.

Could be your ac joint

[@Diggitydarrin]

Strengthening the balance between traps and lats can do a ton for migraines

[@nils1749]

5-10 second hold at the end of each movement. 01:09 External Rotation 01:55 Horizontal Adduction 02:32 Cheerleader

[@mimouze4231]

10 reps on each exercice ?

[@Anita_Max_Vert]

@@mimouze4231 yep

[@rickhoneyford4292]

Love the split screen showing the muscle that should be activating.

[@ssc1348]

I can't believe how helpful it is. My left shoulder felt weak and the trap muscles often came to the rescue while doing dumbbell curls. After performing these stretches, I definitely felt my left scapular and lower traps muscles getting activated much more than the right. Eventually, it helped eliminate the involvement of trap muscles during dumbbell curls. Thank you so much.

[@yusufahmed2233]

Finally, a warm up that doesn't need me to lie flat on my face 🥲 Great video!

[@aperture0]

🤣

[@aperture0]

those are actually pretty good ones too. dr aron mentions that they're very helpful too. for stability issues

[@senpai9272]

This channel is a gem for long term gym goers. Really impressed 👍

[@glenntipton6226]

This is str8t up... the best KZbin fitness channel in terms of warming up. I have been looking for the past 3 years a quick warm up. This is perfect!

[@jennifabiano2116]

These exercises are great! After just one round of all these i actually feel that my upper body posture has improved and i feel warmed up and ready to lift. Thank you!

[@daleorgain5994]

So appreciate your quick but informative warm up videos. They are the best I’ve seen from all the experts in this field. My knees, shoulders and hips feel much better in the gym when incorporating your techniques.

[@ebenezersureshworkaccount8947]

2:24 I just learned that this exercise can help correct posture -> a mid trap muscle exercise. It's good to know that I have been working this muscle during my shoulder warm up routine. Thanks for sharing.

[@donaldlamp2946]

This was a huge help… I am a college thrower and lately have had more shoulder issues then normal but after doing this I definitely feel warmed up

[@crypto_j1657]

if jesus was a GYM... this man is the GOD of free knowledge sharing you have changed my life. from 0 pull-ups (impingement, bursitis, permanent dislocated clavicle from rotator) to muscle up on gym rings. it has been a 2 year journey. cheers brother

[@eyupkaplan4620]

By far this channel is the most useful channel in terms of mobility and warm-up.

[@EddieDBama]

My son told me about this channel, and this video in particular has been a great help to my old and noisy shoulder.

[@Greenskies321]

This is great and Anthlean-X also has some great shoulder restoring exercises as well

[@raptorbluesvideos745]

I’ve been a trainer for years but found this info to be very helpful waking up the shoulders! Thank you bud!

[@SMART-FIT1989]

You are viedos full of information. I am a Personal Trainer and I have benefited alot from all your viedos. I appreciate it the efforts you put and sharing these valuables information. Peace

[@shaquille26able]

I've been dealing rear pain for a few weeks and this has helped! Also foam rolling helped too! I recommend this!

[@hello98267]

Dayum this channel needs more subs, really great info on every video I've watched

[@SquatUniversity]

I really appreciate it! Glad you're enjoying the content I make!

[@delfimsantos742]

Did this before, and work's wonders.. He knows his stuff.

[@rkoldenhof3551]

Worked for me. I like every video you make. Always well explained, succinct. This is my favorite KZbin channel. I've learned so much

[@janmarchena5549]

Greetings from the Netherlands. This is really going to help me to fix my shoulder injury.

[@Drhomelander]

Great content. You are the best. I was doing other exercises and i had some pain, i immediately realized i was doing something wrong. I am glad i found this video.

[@sunwukong6268]

Didn’t know the Cheerleader, going to incorporate it into my workout. The others are already in. 👍

[@sidfitness8046]

Me too

[@UncleMike81]

Finally bought therabands specifically for these cuff exercises. Have to say... highly worth the $13 purchase price. Way more comfortable than the reg gym bands. Thanks Aaron... Starting to feel like an Olympian 👍🏼

[@d2ds17]

Great content as always. Thanks to you, Starrett, and Smashwerx. I haven't had an issue I couldn't remedy at home due to all the great info from y'all.

[@peterRod]

Many Thanks Dr., fantastic as always! May you do a video for recovery after a shoulder dislocation?

[@danielesc]

+1

[@savedbygracescooter2915]

Yes sir. Thank you.

[@jk3266]

Absolutely Great Channel.

[@Rpapa123]

Thank you Coach...you are fantastic!

[@steveroberts3713]

Thanks for sharing, as an extreme tree climber, my shoulders r brutal still

[@1973HenkY]

Damn, I tried this and half way through this warm-up my workout is done and those upperback muscles have a minor pump. I think I need more of this.....

[@nizarladji9745]

[@matthewmarshall6860]

Thank you!

[@SquatUniversity]

You're welcome!

[@matthewmarshall6860]

Squat University Do you have any videos about wrist pain/strengthening?

[@jonathonshaw6688]

Great content as always!

shoulder warm up (Big 3/ Snatch/ C&J/ OH-Press) ----- 10 rep (5~10s hold) _External Rotation (Squat/ Bench) _Horizontal Abduction _Cheerleade (Snatch/ C&J/ OH-Press)

[@paulo1940]

Amazin content. Keep it up Aron 💪

[@akp41]

I’ll give this a try today

[@klaydee5]

When I see a SquatUni video on youtube: 1)Like Button 2)Play Button Really good job Dr. Thanks for these videos!

[@jessen00001]

Great video 💪 thanks 👍

[@richardfairbrother9744]

Thank You, Squat Uni. Just started doing these 3 warn up exercise morning/lunch/bedtime with press up's inbetween after finding this channel, I've found my shoulder range of motion has improved (painful at first though). Quick question, can pectoral strecth help with shoulder mobility to improve doing press up's & bench presses.

[@rocky2karma]

Great stuff!

[@Steve-ArfArf]

A qusstion on the holding. Is this bad before a workout as its a static stretch? Wouldn't just the movement be enough so its more of a dynamic stretch?

[@AtownGoods]

Thanks doc!

[@paulinebrown4598]

Great tips. Isn't that horizontal abduction not adduction and also do these work well with people have hyper mobility or EDS syndrome? Thanks

[@Cryptocurrency1O1]

Great video 💪 thanks a lot 🔥

[@willmcgregor7184]

Thank you! I have history of issues with supraspinatus & teres i think. Usually get ART. Any recommendations for activating/strengthening the supraspinatus?? Thanks

[@RussellFitness-Trainer]

Thanks this is great

[@daleskoulding1000]

Ok so with the external rotations I feel pain through the right shoulder, in or under the anterior deltoid. This is a fairly long term ‘niggle’ dating back to competing in triathlon and unilateral breathing. Doesn’t affect my bench, but it does OHP. Feel it with the banded ‘w’ I’ve seen you recommended too! #squatUclub

[@TyronPiteau]

Thanks Aaron. I look forward to your videos every week. #SquatUClub

[@kimdrapic379]

#Squatuclub great video. Just finished doing my physio exercises which are similar. Thanks!

[@SquatUniversity]

You're welcome Kim! Thanks for checking out the video today!

[@Nick-dq5fo]

Hi don’t know if you reply to comments but was wondering what your thoughts are on how to lift safely with a spinal fracture like spondylolisthesis

[@Spaxcore]

Subbed. Could you do something on post workout stretching and mobility?

[@mehmetcan1934]

thank you

[@lepepus]

Love it!

[@dylanwarner3041]

Is there a reason why I'd be feeling it a lot more in my left shoulder than my right? I'm focusing on mind-muscle on both but the left one burns out way faster.

[@craigmanley6830]

Horizontal addiction question: I'm feeling it more in my lateral shoulder head as opposed to my back/rhomboids. Is this normal? Anything I should correct?

[@lyonnaiso]

GOOD VIDEO CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN

[@aaronnoskiye2354]

Amazing. Subbed for more great content .

[@zacharysmith4508]

Hey chief how would you go about turning this from a warmup to a work out? I'm assuming just longer holding duration, increased resistence, and reps?

[@MARCOmxr96]

Best warm up #SquatUclub

[@jackmarshall757]

Ive had problems last few months with my right shoulder Bench Press & Tricep OH extensions. It tends to get sore and cramping at times, it makes the movements feel awkward.

[@kabnis2022]

Is thumb supposed to be up for the cheerleader band exercise?

[@92Cope]

Aron legend! :D

[@conspiracychris4742]

Should we be keep a prostier tilt during these excercise? Thx doc. Great vid. #SquatUclub

[@SquatUniversity]

Nope - just keep your spine and pelvis neutral.

[@sawomirantoskiewicz9540]

Been experiencing a nagging pain deep inside my posterior deltoid. I can find find it with my fingers when I dig them in. I lift kettlebells, a lot of overhead lifting involved. Any advice or video of yours I can refer to in order to try and fix this? Thank you!

[@johnnygunzfilmbuff7821]

Do you have a playlist for warming up for each body part?

[@legday1337]

just got me a therabad today to do this

[@vettepwr23]

Anyone recommend where I can buy bands reasonably to do this at my gym? This gym has no bands whatsoever.

[@imrobinsingh]

Awesome information as usual. I also followed a previous video to roll and stretch my lats to avoid impingement. Is the order important in warmup? Should soft tissue mobilisation precede this exercise to activate the back muscles. Many thanks for your answer. #SquatUClub

[@SquatUniversity]

Glad you liked the video Robin - and usually I recommend mobility first and stability after. But let's talk about it more in email - bc YOU'RE TODAYS WINNER. Email me at [e-mail] with the title "SquatUClub KZbin Winner" and we can talk about whatever you need help with.

[@niko.303.]

should i just do this before my push days (2x week) or is it better to do more often?

[@keithhopkins1346]

Love your anatomy software...who do you recommend?

[@LeeH3nson]

Could you use this throughout the day in quiet spells as prehab. Scapular stability I'm thinking

[@Oho159]

#SquatUclub doc is back :)

[@MrVh78]

anyone have a link to the first black band he used

[@letscreatewithjugalkishore]

Can these exercises be done with resistance bands??????

[@jagrajbassi876]

10 reps and 5/10sec hold each exercise.

[@benjames77bd]

Are these good for front deltoid impingements?

[@magrana1]

My left shoulder hurts when I do bar dips and close grip bench press

[@tahrangotla3296]

Can we perform the 2nd exercise with light dumbbells?

[@jonathanmelendez2828]

Where u get them bands from?

[@zkan87]

Animations are helpful

[@grega1375]

2nd one you mean horizontal abduction, right?

[@AA-eo6nc]

Where can I buy that band? Thank u

[@Jacob-qt6oe]

I was under the impression that you’re supposed to execute those exercises after a workout to avoid fatiguing rotator cuffs which would be dangerous under a heavy load like bench press.

[@wvvwwwvvw]

Thanks, Aaron. I believe this shoulder warmup routine is also suitable for the bench press, as it gets the back warmed up. But do the pecs need any sort of priming before performing the lift? I really wonder.

[@ryangoligher1598]

Great info as always #SquatUclub

[@SquatUniversity]

Thanks Ryan!

[@christiaanduroseau9446]

would this work for pullups??

[@unimpressedcat2140]

So internal shoulder rotation warm up isn't necessary? Have i been wasting my time

[@ght.s1732]

muito bom!

[@abhistraj5732]

💯💯💯

[@douglasalfaro237]

I used to want to get big. Got big. Now i just want to move better

[@adamhamilton1501]

Great video man! I think you accidentally put the word art as ADDuction when you said and meant ABDuction to show up from editing. Always great content to incorporate into my own practice!

[@Bailey-ib9js]

They don't have these bands at the gym

[@pistolpete7777]

I like everything except the speed btwn Doctor and Aaron...lol jk but it sounds like doctorairenorshig

[@roskamate99]

The duration is 3 minutes and call it “quick”? No wonder why ladies have such a huge expectation when we males also don’t respect ourselves this way.
