[@johnnormandin5572]

You flow off heaven six beautifully!!!! Heaven six is the gateway to all angles...

[@ak2010utube]

Great information. Could you do a supplemental foam rolling video for back and shoulders please?

[@urka-off-world-adventures]

Hey Ryan, started to get serious with callisthenics a couple of weeks ago and your videos are really helping me! Btw, I’m a ‘young’ 48yr old, with some martial arts history but callisthenics is helping me get back in shape and your focus on good form is right on point. Thanks for the motivation 👍

[@jameshutto3047]

How goes the re activity. Im in a similar situation

[@ajstyle19]

I've followed all your demonstrations. Is really effective to keep my body in good shape!

[@varnect203]

Hey man, Just discovered your channel recently. Just wanted to say that you're doing awesome work, and to keep it up!

[@Rosen-]

Thanks for the demonstration. Really helped me out after a long run

[@ouimontessoribilingualpres9545]

Thanks so much for sharing wisdom and demonstrating. You motivates me to start on my journey because you provide useful information for beginners. Yay

I got myself a foamroller recently and if theres one thing I need to do then it is have a proper stretching routine that I do daily. Theres only one stretch I've been doing daily in the morning and before going to bed and its the "touch your toes"-one. You can improve that one quite quickly and Im at were I can reach the palms to the ground.

[@MinusTheGym]

Captain Rhodes very nice! Palms to the ground is impressive flexibility.

[@MaxSandberg]

The main thing I use my foamroller for is to stretch the thoracis spine

[@NicoSpyro]

As always, a very good video!!!

[@MatzeMaulwurf]

[@DianeGerber-ok9zg]

What size roller should I use?

[@Pitchwife82]

Should you roll right after a workout, before, or nowhere near your workout?

[@lovelivinglife904]

Hi Ryan, great video. Do you have any recommendations on what size roller to get or on trigger point vs smooth?

[@CH3COOHpt]

Thank you for this ;)

Hamstring flexibility has always been a struggle for me that holds back my L-Sit and pike pushup work. How long do you hold your stretch for, and how many reps/sets do you do to maintain?

[@MinusTheGym]

FLABrowncoat I do sets of 1 minute each when I stretch. The number of sets depends on how tight the area is and how quickly I want to progress. I've gone as many as 4 sets of 1-minute on a muscle group. And I do this daily or as close to daily as possible. I believe that flexibility and mobility work is best done as frequently as possible (that's what's worked best for me).

[@DamianLewd]

I’m actually foam rolling as this video popped up

[@berndwebklo7867]

Very nice Video. Do I need to warm up befor I foam rool?

[@MinusTheGym]

Bernd Webklo nope. In fact, the act of foam rolling is a warm-up itself. You can roll before you work out and it will help promote blood flow and "prime" your muscles.

[@berndwebklo7867]

@@MinusTheGym Ok. Thank you 👍 :)

[@The14roscoe]

Hey Ryan, I bought a foam roller a while ago, used it a little but now its stuck away in the cupboard. I found it to uncomfortable. Its ridged, I noticed yours is smooth. Could this have been my problem? Or will it always be sore?

[@MinusTheGym]

The14roscoe funny you ask. My wife got me one of those ridged/textured ones last year and I've only used it a few times for the same reason. The bumps make it more painful and harder to dig into the tight areas. So I'd say give the smooth kind a shot and see if you like it better. I sure do.

[@Разумноетело]

Привет 🤗

[@InJahWeTrust8]

Do you have a beginner stretching video

[@MinusTheGym]

JaH Worthy not yet, but I will soon! It's on the list :)

[@cwilmo1]

Audio is a bit echo in this clip. Admittedly I'm just commenting for your yt stats but didn't have anything else to add.

[@MinusTheGym]

c thanks for the feedback! I actually was experimenting and trying new things with the audio in this vid, so much appreciated

[@lionsden6960]

I thought it was Dr. Allan Mandells video👴

[@jameshutto3047]

9:20 you said the g word twice . . .

[@thereal_soggi]

Sadly another video with false information about foam rolling. There is no scientific evidence to the information you provide here. Adhesions certainly don't form because of overuse of your muscles and fasciae are not made of spongy tissue.

[@jameshutto3047]

Wheres your vids
