When your stretch is a Flex

Bruh😂

[@Apolo044]

Ingenious

[@GodMaxDrinkerofTea]

Weird stretch but okay

[@suneelj93]

Appreciate the vids but many of can’t do this due to simple mass. I’ll never be as flexible as you as a 6 footer 200lbs 😅. I should say as somebody with a lot more muscle mass.

[@GodMaxDrinkerofTea]

@@suneelj93 You'd be surprised how flexible some Bodybuilders are. Can't say any names because I'm not in the scene, but I've seen some huge dudes doing middle splits and stuff

[@lorilo5214]

I really love your videos. They help me a lot. And you seem so positive and shining all the time - it's contagious and motivating. I could even imagine you giving motivational speeches.

[@yvonnecasaus9925]

Thank you. I learn a lot from you. And I’m in naprapthy school!

So cool!! Stay Flexy friend!

You and HybridCalisthenics are my go tos for body workouts and stretching. Not sure how to do it, but would be cool to see you guys do a collab

[@Chief_Brody]

You talking like them doing a collab would be like flying to Jupiter

[@bushmanheart]

Thanks brother love the geeky vibe. No ego. Just wisdom. ✊🏼

[@Drew_Hurst]

Yes. He's very inspirational

[@Yhaa64]

Living in Indonesia with squat toilet makes me didn't realise that i did deep squat everyday since i was born

[@hazelene_]

Same! I didn't even notice that I do deep squat for 30 minutes continuously 😂. From india btw.

[@RajbirKumar-jj5mq]

This is the best fitness promotion ever . Nothing exaggerated nothing hyped. All just about consistency. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@specifiedhuman]

Your videos are amazing. Flexibility is something I've always wanted to develop, but until I found your channel I got overwhelmed trying to figure out how to stretch safely and consistently

[@mcmjr405]

Dude your channel is one of the best and most encouraging one that I’ve found. Gives me something to work for, granted being 6’4” and about 295-298lbs it’s going to take me a while to get there. I’m willing to do the work though. Thank you.

[@andrewhakomakigranger]

This is the best and quickest explanation of a soleus stretch I've ever seen... Really appreciate what you're doing with your videos man!!

[@skyt4133]

I learned many of these exercises in ballet class which has allowed me to stay flexible. I am a 70 yr man. Love these exercises . Stay flexible.

[@jessicagutierrez2989]

I have never been able to do a deep squat, but your videos helped me with my hip mobility, and I can now almost do a wider deep squat!!!! I just reeeeeally need to work on my ankles now lol. Your videos have seriously helped me!!!

[@alejandrapaolapamelagutier8012]

1 M is near, love your videos, wish I could buy your products 😢

[@MovementbyDavid]

Crazy times!! I appreciate you so much you have no idea. Product purchases are cool but people who care…. THATS what matters. Stay Flexy friend!

[@NZcandy]

Hi David! Can you please post a daily full body stretch routine?? I want to achieve press handstands/splits etc. & think I should be stretching everyday to achieve it but don’t know exactly what ones to do :)

[@kailahprice6792]

Hiring you as my personal trainer would be my quickest decision ever 👏🏼 I love how you explain things and move differently. (please you should start an online stretch sesh stream or something…)

[@guychilson8198]

Love this kid

[@idsavo]

We were hungry for deep squat, he responded by serving deep squat as a main dish plus middle split for dessert!

[@iMOCKusALL]

I really appreciate this as stretching out my ankles is really important to me after an injury to one of them several years ago. It stiffens up over night, it's immobile for the first 20 minutes of the day. Thanks for adding the adaptions to moves

[@thomasfeathers]

David. You’re amazing. Keep up the great content!

[@tomsvideos68]

David is the most likeable guy on the internet

[@ihorprotsenko5054]

Folks, I’m here to tell you something fun. I was actually surprised to find out that deep squat heels down is kinda a “harder variation” of normal squat. Cause I grew up in Ukraine and PE is a mandatory subject for all students every year of school. And we all always do this deep squat not even knowing about other types of squats. We all can do it without any problem and lol you now imagine how shocked I was to find out that there are people unable to do this.

[@anasain6590]

If you grew up east of germany you did this more then sitting! Love the vid

[@shonesurendran5337]

Now, those two stretches together are great!!! Thanks!!

[@jontnoneya3404]

Your vids are always amazing to me. HOW the heck did you learn all this? I'm 56 and very inflexible - not sure I could even get more flexy without serious baby steps.

[@SickAndTired422]

I’ve been working on it for a year now and I’m not flat yet but I’m SO CLOSE 😂 probably half an inch lift compared to only my toes being in contact! Impressive stuff man thanks for the help

[@user-vx2cv6lj8l]

I like ur jeans, they look comfy, I stopped wearing jeans due to feeling restricted and uncomfortable. I would like try a pair like these. Great video, thank you, keep it up 😊

[@robertwestling2467]

This kid is amazing

[@rifwann]

Might as well do split lol, i thought this is beginner video.. well im not that stiff so im happy you include the next level

[@The_Fat_Turtle]

The flat foot squat from the beginning is one of few things from your videos that I can do easily...so I'm not completely out of shape lol.

[@Shadow2pointO]

No but my stomach is stopping me 😂

[@marcelo.dhsk8]

Bro could you please post a video about your personal favorite workouts and maybe how to start doing them? I’ve been skinny and somewhat flexible, but also strong my entire life. I want to get into ‘bodybuilding’ but not like most people that bulk and cut and go to the gym and lift heavy weights… I don’t wanna be super big, I love being lightweight but I don’t wanna loose muscle since I’m physically inactive rn due to an injury. I want to do it just like you, doing handstands, lift my whole body rather effortlessly… not feel like a noodle pretty much lol I really love your channel and the content bc I can really relate to it and feel like I actually achieve realistic goals according to my body type. Thank you!

[@alexc8332]

His jeans are putting in work!

[@sottozen]

love your videos so much!

[@user-fo2oq2yd7c]

The most impressive thing is that he did this in jeans!😂

[@Jenna_Talia]

One fun thing about discovering this channel is that I've found out I'm not quite as inflexible as I thought I was. I can easily deep squat, sit on my ankles, have good hip mobility and realistically I only have my hamstrings to worry about.

[@clinton4161]

I'm Slavic. Squatting is definitely in my genetics. Being American born my squatting standsout sometimes haha but it's honestly a comfortable way to sit.

[@ProfGop]

Good squatting, comrade! Approved by Professional Gopnik

[@cameronhuber8339]

My ankles have always had very poor mobility even with stretching. Having a wide stance was great advice it helps my ass get to grass for a decent range of motion

[@tobyisaracoon]

I have loose joints and lots of arthritis i can only do it with a wider stance. Thanks for showing me this isn't incorrect

[@glitchflower2688]

Helped me with carrying heavy boxes felt so flexy

[@MovementbyDavid]

Squat mobility for lifting awkward shaped boxes is so underrated!

[@elizabethjones2084]

I'm impressed by the squat AND it being done in jeans

[@sebumpostmortem]

The first calf stretch is what I' ve discretely done all my life while waiting for the green light🚦✨ During the quarantine, my 7 floors building steps were a blessing. I don' t gained weight but some gastrocnemius hypertrophy😅 🧛🏻‍♀️🖤

[@genegerrienne]

Why is this guy all over my youtube and why is he so entertaining?

[@Xamry]

I watched this at half the speed to notice details and his drunk voice is hiiilarous!

[@hossamayman3587]

I watched 3 videos and now you are my best channel ❤❤

[@AbdellahBrahimi-gf9us]

I have very tight knees, I will try it. Thanks for the the tip. 👍

[@HelloThere-ki5mg]

I've been able to do this easily since I was a little kid, and I thought everyone could do this. Weirdly, I'm not actually that flexible. I can barely touch my toes and I can't even do half of the splits. But when I do this deep squat, there's no pain or even the slightest bit of resistance whatsoever. It's actually very comfortable.

[@nobodybutaghost]

I used to deep squat and then shuffle run. It took so much energy but honestly was hilarious to do.

[@missvon889]

What does a shuffle run look like?

[@nobodybutaghost]

@@missvon889 well, iits sort of difficult to explain but it is among some of my funniest runs, so I'll do my best. Step one, squat down. Step two, (you might need to lean forward) you slide one foot forward, lifting up only as much as you can while still being quick. Step three, do the same for the other. Step four, keep "running" add in arms. Now you look like a huddle that is running. You're also about as fast as a snail on crack but at least it's fun :)

[@missvon889]

@@nobodybutaghost 😂😂😂😂😂 I could just see me attempting this and looking like a crab running forward. Thanks for replying, I needed a laugh this morning.

Where should I start? What's the best exercises to get more flexible for beginners?

[@Oreios]

He has a really nice 10 min follow along video on his channel!

[@yashlakhani6763]

Hey dude I really love your videos and what you do, but I do have a little bit of a request. Could you possibly make a video on Imbalancements in the body? For example my left shoulder is slightly higher than my right, is there any way to fix something like that?

[@Ghosthunter578]

Thank you so much im a catcher in baseball and have been looking for some ankle mobility exercises

[@dailydrivensedans4875]

Oh i needed this. I always wondered why i couldnt do that..... as a runner ida thought id have good ankle mobility but i guess not

[@LuquiLuck]

Hey David, I love your videos! I have a problem on my hamstrings and Achilles tendons. They are shortened and whenever I walk I usually support the tip of my foot instead of supporting my heel and then the tip. I can't even do a squad without putting some support on my heels. Whenever I try to stretch them I always get the feeling they'll break. So much tension and pain. Do you have any advice for me? Thank you so much, and stay flexy!

[@wholelottalight]

Your pancake stretch looks very different from mine. Mine usually involves a fork. :P

[@Leafy0.2]

I was literally just thinking about your videos on how to do this Tysm i really needed this ☺️

[@eugeemz6591]

The problem is weak adductors, not tight hamstrings, not tight hips, nor your adductors being tight, but weak adductors, horse stance is a great way to train them and you can also do them dynamically or do wider stance sqats and try to engage your glutes Another one is a side plank but raise the top leg on a chair(or your bed) and lift the bottom of the ground, do them with bent legs for 30 s and then when you progress do them with straight legs

[@mookkss1381]

David I love your videos and I want to start doing some exercices to increase my flexibility. However, you have so many different videos that it feels like I should be stretching 24/7 :( is there like a daily routine we could do?

[@littleredhead75]

I broke my ankle 2 months ago so I'm finally starting to get some mobility back into the joint... I think I'll save this for later once I'm done with PT so I can go over and beyond the mobility I've gotten from PT!

[@genomedia44]

Do you have a video on how to do progress towards a pancake stretch? I cannot bend forward anywhere near what you do here. Thanks for the videos!

[@kiwikiwikiwi-ml7ww]

There was a time in my childhood where I would just sit on chairs like that.

[@minus1ram339]

I've been debaiting doing stretches for a while because i'm very hypermobile ( 8/9 on the beighton scale ) and i feel like any more flexibility would be harmful for me but on the other hand i'd be able to freak out my friends haha

[@gmelliot19]

Yes - almost anyone can achieve a deep squat - but not anyone can achieve a deep squat with an upright torso - which is whats required for safely performing deep squats under high loads. People with poor ankle or hip mobility will have to compensate by excessively flexing their spine to reach full squat depth. That makes is impossible to squat with upright torso (let alone with arms overhead). The solution is to elevate the heels on a plate or slant board. This is a big part of why certain populations are over/under represented globally in olympic weightlifting. Eastern Europeans and East Asians have, on average, shallower hip sockets.

[@danbradbury4067]

Great video

[@G4nymedes]

Friend of mine once asked me to do deep squad, so i did. Heels on the ground. She was shocked. I did not know its hard to do :-D I doing whole life without any training.

i can't do that anymore since i tore my meniscus. can't wait for the day when i can get back into that stretch.

[@Moleymole]

Dude you seem to be built like me, but waaaaay fucking stronger!! 🫨

[@Zendrig]

That move is surprisingly easy for me to do although my overall fitness and flexibility are quite abysmal.

[@nickwest1476]

I like your advice and will do these stretches but I'm older and need to go real slow. I've always wanted to do a split. I'm not even close to this level.

[@limmeh7881]

So ankle mobility is the limiting factor 🤔 I can deep squat but not very narrow. Can partially go down in a narrow stance but I think what’s happening is my knees want to retreat behind my toes so I’d fall back. If I hold onto a door or something, I can go down but my knees stay perpendicular to the ground more or less - not beyond my toes. Ill get there 💪

[@nitroexpress4956]

straight gopnik stance, it was a sing of cool dude if you sit right, and can do it for long time

[@ArzDublaj]

i could sit and walk like that from birth but when i tried to do the “kazotsky kick” russian dance thingy i couldnt do it, but when i tried again like 2 years later (no training at all) i could do it. i still can, idk why.

[@GlorifiedGremlin]

I can do a deep squat just fine, it just burns the hell out of the front of my ankles when I hold it lol

[@King_Of_Curses_09]

The thing I'm most worried abt is injuring myself while doing these cuz it's a little hard for me to differentiate between pain and just working my muscles

[@hero_boyxd3732]

Bro's so flexy he avoids wearing jeans to not rip apart
