NASM Corrective Exercise Quick Fix: Arms Fall Forward

[@snook3032]

Just earned my CPT-NASM! First shot. It was very difficult. Remember my name...My goal is on that Master Trainer Cert!! I should get some clients first tho🤣

Do your client's arms fall forward during an overhead squat assessment? This video series covers flexibility and corrective strategies to address this compensation.

Thank you NASM ❤

[@chariots8x230]

How about if the person has *‘Excessive Forward Trunk Lean’?* What corrective exercises should we use in that case? Please keep making these short ‘quick fix’ videos. They’re helpful and to the point! :)

This has helped my body so much. Thankful.

Is this safe if the scapula isn’t supported well?

[@verticaldancer50]

In this video you use the Child's Pose for lengthening the lats. If a client is considerably overweight, this pose is difficult to impossible due to what I call, "Ergonomic Issues." What do you recommend as an alternative lengthening method?

[@NasmOrgPersonalTrainer]

Child's Pose Response: The reason child's pose works well is because the position allows shoulder flexion along with a posterior pelvic tilt. This can also be accomplished in a standing position by reaching up to an anchor point above shoulder level, reaching into full flexion, and adding a posterior pelvic tilt. An additional stretch can be made by shifting the pelvis away from the side being stretched creating increased lateral flexion.

Annie, are you ok? Are you ok, Annie?

Thanks Roy. you mention that the second technique is Static stretching, great vid.

When using a green screen, don't have anything around or wear anything green. ;)

my mind is stuck here and I can't read the notes anymore. 1) In all the following cases, TFL and Bicep femoris's short head are considered OVERACTIVE: Foot Turns Out , Knee Moves Inward Knee Moves Outward Flatted feet .How come? 2)Also we know that Piriformis is considered a hip's external rotator, while TFL is kind of its medial rotator. How is it possible that both of them become overactive in "Knees move outward" during overhead squat? I couldn't find any answer by googling them either. If only I find out what these muscles (first and second pairs) have in common, I would get it. Thanks!

piriformis is an internal rotator when the hip is flexed. Regardless Muscles can still be overactive despite antagonistic functions: e.g hamstring and hip flexors are typically overactive in individuals w/ gluteal weakness.

[@elfunkeado]

I wouldnt recommend the last corrective exercise for a started. They might have problems doing even an assisted squat and that might cause other problems. However, this give us a good idea of what muscles we need to activate and strengthen.

[@dylanfan1941]

There are regressions. You could have them do a wall ball squat to row, for example.

[@geronimopascuale9208]

also,SMR the Thoracic spine

This is glorious, I've been looking for "cause of muscle imbalance in legs" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Reenrianna Imbalances Redemption - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my m8 got great success with it.

[@kristind954]

Am I correct that these should be done in this order for maximum results?

[@dylanfan1941]

yes

[@TheVisionquester]

OMG.. Love the GREEN SCREEN!!! ;)

[@thunha3517]

Wow.
