This channel is what was missing from my life. Best

[@sidpaulson1]

Thanks for that! :) Happy you like the channel!

A great set of shoulder mobility exercises Sid. I've viewed lots of YT videos on this topic and yours is my favourite so far. I have a banana bend chest-to-wall handstand and I hope these will help to straighten my alignment! Thanks

[@sidpaulson1]

Check out my IG for more content. Glad to hear from you!

[@H3adFUc3r777]

Good job bro, that’s exactly what I am looking for to manage the straight handstand

Perfect man. How is the handstand coming along for you?

No problem 👍

[@davidkliewer5095]

Great video. Do you have a link to the bands you are using in the 3rd exercise? Or something similar? Thanks!

[@sidpaulson1]

+David Kliewer It’s just regular resistance bands (with handles) medium size:)

[@LarsRyeJeppesen]

You should have 1 mio subs... it's insanely highly quality... thank you so much

[@semetfitness]

Hey awesome stuff here sid .really apperciate your craft

[@sidpaulson1]

+Semet Fitness Thanks for watching. New video coming tomorrow, stay tuned;)

[@fede_ponz]

Technically that's only 3 for the handstand but very informative video! And useful! Trying 2 of them today

[@sidpaulson1]

ALL of them are going to help with your overhead mobility, WHICH is going to help with your Handstand. The shoulder extension will help with Tight biceps and chest, which are also important in shoulder flexion:)

[@සරා-ඵ8ත]

Thank you friend

[@sidpaulson1]

Always welcome

[@erikcardenas6011]

Hey dude I like a lot your videos, would be great If you could update a little bit about flips

[@sidpaulson1]

Update my flips? Or tutorial on flips? Not super good with teaching acrobatics yet :(

[@erikcardenas6011]

Sid Paulson both would be nice, I have not found any other chanel about male gymnastics

[@everything_strength]

Where can I find names of these exercises?

[@sidpaulson1]

I'll have to make an update to this video!

[@ShapeshiftingAnamorphosiS]

hello. I am wondering what am I doing wrong in the last exercise. it gets a bit annoying cause I feel pressure in my rotator cuff. tried many ways of locking the arms . any tips for that ? xD. is there a possibility my rotator cuff muscle are weak or the capsule itself is stiff? thanks.

[@sidpaulson1]

That exercise can be a bit annoying for some people. I would just skip it if it's too uncomfortable.

[@3765sor]

Is something to add to the beginner GST or it’s on separate day?

[@sidpaulson1]

You could do this prior/after the gymnastic strength session OR do it on a completely separate day. It all depends on your individual situation and what will be the best way for you!

[@3765sor]

@@sidpaulson1 thanks for the quick reply! I was hoping for a good workout plan that covers both GST, flexibility, and mobility on a weekly basis... the core compression and strength is easier or more doable under 15% body fat? I currently have like 26% body fat...

[@weepengteo]

I come from Malaysia, tq for your sharing

[@sidpaulson1]

Thanks for coming

[@maristoldboys5466]

Great Video! Any advice for someone who's had shoulder (rotator cuff) arthroscopic surgery on 1 shoulder?

[@sidpaulson1]

Just train for a strong shoulder. Work on all the movements and ranges of motion available at the shoulders.

[@mariamllersrensen6572]

Hi Sid. You R amazing. Wow.

[@sidpaulson1]

+Maria Møller Sørensen Thank you😊🙌

[@rktobi7828]

How often can I do this routine??

[@sidpaulson1]

You can do it 2-4x per week

[@mixed7991]

Are these exes beginner-friendly?

[@sidpaulson1]

Try and see. Go slow and use your common sense.

[@akshitmalik5874]

You have nice mobility

[@sidpaulson1]

Thank you!

[@elyasafaloni8925]

I don't understand why improving shoulder extension range (more anterior delt, chest and bicep flexability) improves overhead (shoulder FLEXION) mobility? Im clearly missing out on something... 🤔

[@sidpaulson1]

+eliasaf aloni I mainly added it because I wanted some exercises for both shoulder flexiblity and extension since they are both as important. I also find that personally shoulder extension help me stretch out my chest which aids in my shoulder flexion. Just a personal preference thought. Sorry for confusing you haha.

[@elyasafaloni8925]

Sid Paulson, quick response.. thanks. 👍

[@sidpaulson1]

+eliasaf aloni No problem. Should have mentioned that in the title, sorry if I was misleading:)

[@kwarkoocoxs2153]

Even if you gave me all of the top 20 Instagram models for me to do what I can’t, I couldn’t do most of the mobility work.

[@sidpaulson1]

We can learn most stuff.

[@manishbachkaniwala]

Third and final ,both were impossible .

[@sidpaulson1]

Haha

[@gantz0949]

I hate that fing table top one. Kills me every time

[@sidpaulson1]

Yes it's tough but a great exercise!!

[@tba3679]

Horrible soundtrack. Why??!

[@sidpaulson1]

Either the soundtrack is horrible.. Or your taste in music is horrible. Who’s to judge?

[@kungfuman82]

@@sidpaulson1 The soundtrack is objectively horrible, but the content you put out is top-notch. I just watch your videos on mute. It's nothing personal. A lot of videos have this kind of stuff or, worse, some kind of rap. I get the inspiration and motivation and advice without having my ears raped by hitting the mute button on my computer.

[@zenstories]

I second that! The instructional part of your videos is very, very good but the audio is really subtracting from the content as a whole - generally, the music chosen for your videos is very distracting and also way too loud compared to the parts where you talk. That means the viewer has to hit the volume button frequently when watching. However, I actually did purchase a couple of your courses the other day and thankfully the music on the paid content (the ones I got anyway) is a little more scaled back.

[@sidpaulson1]

Keep in mind this video is old, I change my videos based on the feedback I get!🙈 What courses did you join?

[@zenstories]

The pike and the pancake tuts - but the music on those is not that intrusive as in this one and some of the other videos on KZbin. Working through the paid video tuts from your website is more about sore hamstrings than sore ears ;)
