I feel that even their small talk is concise!

[@TotalTennisGeek]

Brad is FLEXIBLE! Does any one else notice how they have brother energy? They seem like brothers, as if they've known each other forever.

The hamstring stretch on the stairs gives me excellent lower back pain relief 😌! Don't mess with Brad!!! That's some kick!!

[@markmondrinos7721]

Thank you for your work, gentleman. I found you guys several months ago looking for biceps tendonitis exercises, then came back later for impingement exercises on the other side. Now everything is in working order and I check out the videos for slapstick entertainment and to keep building up the pre-hab repertoire. Almost to 100K subscribers! Congrats on the channel growth.

hey a fellow brad... I used to do martial arts as well only made it to green belt before the group got disbanded... just taken up the dance style vogue, lack of flexibility in that region makes it hard to pull off duckwalks and dips

[@eliseoguzman8206]

hi there guys , I'm a fan of your work it's been very useful to myself. I do know if you've touch the topic already but I would like to know you point of view on chiropractic treatments in genral. any answer will be great

[@eliseoguzman8206]

[@serabuyukbas3698]

Çok tatlısınız

[@kension333]

Since when did they start doing martial arts videos? Have I just been missing them the entire time?

[@johncena3742]

Morning is good time to do high leg kick stretching after jogging

[@SGFrenchies789]

that thumbnail tho , keep up the good work boys

[@callumdoyle2200]

The contract relax stretch they were discussing at 5:20 is a PNF stretch (stands for proprio neuromuscular facilitation) it’s the best for making gains in flexibility something to remember when doing this that they didn’t touch on , is it should only be performed twice a week because you can cause damage and lead you to become more tight and reduce your overall performance in sport as opposed to increasing it . Subsequently your warm up should be a little more intense than what they suggested for just static stretching, something like 10-15 min for pnf because it’s a intense stretch.

[@callumdoyle2200]

eroge happy to help 👌

[@Matt0]

At 4:02 your left leg is pointed outwards towards your left. What are your thoughts about trying to keep that left leg more parallel to You're right leg? I just noticed I always have my legs open when stretching and if I line them up the stretch becomes more difficult. Are there any advantages to that? Is it recommended at all?

[@cellbox3111]

Not one dislike, Good 😌

[@jacobgutierrez8283]

How long should I do these stretches to see a difference in my flexibility

[@8_su]

intro is epic

[@marlenekerrmarlene1259]

where is brad in wisconsin ???? m,k from wisconsin

[@oppaoppaoppa3368]

bob n brad, just wanted to say due to overweight n poor posture n incorrect exercises, i had a disc bulge in l5s1 n nearly cried as i knew it is impossibly to work out n lose weight. but i follwed your videos for strengthening lower back n worked out with your input. now i have lost 35 pounds, how can i repay your favour , i live in asiq

[@KekLord-hq3yp]

When performing the hip flexor stretch, I seem to experience a very painful pull on the inside of my knee. What could be the cause and how can I treat it?

[@chasnelson5700]

You presented static stretching, isometric stretching, dynamics movement stretching, and contract-relax stretching as ways to improve flexibility. Is there a stretching order that should be done to maximize your flexibility and kicking height? Should dynamic stretching be done at the being of a martial arts training session rather than static stretching to warm up muscles and static stretching done close to the end of a session because muscles are warm and maybe more pliable?

[@chasnelson5700]

Thank you.

[@Taylor-wt9zv]

I'm in taekwondo and trying to do the splits

[@slipperysqueef5284]

I used to do martial arts, and I have been looking at stretching videos all day, because I have seriously lost my stuff

[@nutaman60]

I have labral tears in my left and right hips, am I completely out of the marital arts game now even after I have my hip arthroscopies?

[@uTubeTerror]

Hi guys, I drive a lot at work and it messes up my hips bad, to the point where I struggle to rotate my rig leg outwards (crossing the legs), and also my left side hip/lower back area. Any advice on how to fix this?

[@Calallal]

Incog Nito go to a physio sounds like you have fai or labral injury

[@TheGuruNetOn]

Check out their videos on back pain. Also consult your local physio before doing any strenuous exercises.

[@mmorris7419]

GASP!!!! Bob said "ass"!!!! 😁

[@EUC_Senior]

I just turned 60. I always wanted to be able to do a full split. By doing these exercises will I be able to do this or am I too old to do this?

[@ChriisSky]

Possible with consistency

[@3232Lev]

What about those famous side splits guys?

[@dennismcfarland7817]

Off topic question, if I may, In a previous video on possibly dangerous exercises, I understood you to recommend against squats. Do you also recommend against deep ( thighs parallel to the floor ) knee bends ? I do them with a Theraband mini just above my knees as part of my routine.

[@robertfox05]

Dennis Mcfarland the squat is possibly dangerous if you go too heavy because you can injure your back when you lose form. I stopped doing squats because the bar started to press on my spine because my traps are underdeveloped and can't support the bar. You can do front squats with a lower weight, but I recommend Bulgarian split squats, brutal and effective. If you're gonna do squats, go all the way down, but don't go so far to sit on your calves, I noticed it tends to stress my knees too much. Go down far enough that you can slip a pencil or a piece of paper in between your hamstring and calf in the lower part of the movement. And when you go up, don't forcefully lock out your knees, straighten your legs but keep full control. If your weight is controlling and pulling you instead the other way round, you're going too heavy and need to lighten the load up.

[@TheGuruNetOn]

See their videos on injuries and back pain. Consult your local physio before trying any strenuous exercises. I think they reply to questions on their FB page.

Robert but doesn't the "if i tell you, I'll have to kill you" rule apply with the CIA.. You're a dead man robert 😄

[@panpiper]

I learned from a very early age to NEVER let anyone else 'assist' me in stretching when one idiot felt I could go a lot further than when I told him to stop. He pushed my leg right to the wall, easily a foot past my limit and ripped the shreds out of my leg. It took over a year to recover to the point of no pain and I NEVER regained the flexibility I had with that leg at that point. Do not stretch with a partner! You are trusting them with your life!

[@7.62juarez]

Why do I feel feel a pain/cramp on the side of my glutes when I do the contract relax stretch

[@MsSweetPuppy]

I truly enjoy your videos but one thing, please stop cursing in your videos. It was shocking to hear and I really don't like hearing it and it's absolutely not necessary and absolutely ads nothing to your video, but rather takes away from it. please stop doing it. If you continue I'll just have to stop watching your videos. Thank you for your consideration.

[@Idomanaio]

physicaltherapyvideo I thought it was hilarious because it's so obvious that you're good guys who don't mean it. For the hamstring stretch on the table: is it okay if the leg is in a 90° angle to the other one or would that be too high? Thank you for all your videos! - A fan from Germany
