Great content man! Bio-mechanical intuition is spot on - also kudos to your student for demonstrating his progression!

[@Peshur]

Headstand tutorial anywhere? New to your channel digging it big time btw. Thanks

Hi can you tell us something about corset training? THANKS! Alex

[@ToanTheNomad]

Isnt the guy on the left compensating by rounding his back way too much? Is that okay?

[@moredatesmorefiber3526]

Gordon Ryan just pays someone to stretch him LOL. he said he absolutely hates stretching

[@Asadc1995]

I actually find that headstand leg raises/lifts loosen up my right hips hamstrings lower back

[@KCIsMe]

A tip for people who can't headstand. If you can't do a headstand you can still work on the split stretch inverted up against a wall

This is great service for all. Thank you! Axe and peace from turkey brother!

[@jeffpriore3914]

terrific, during the 4th five seconds(pulling out from the stretch), are we still Contracting the muscles as when we are pulling the feet together

[@zenlifestyleandmannersshow6892]

Sorry I think I missed it, how many reps on the bridge pushups?

[@BrenVez]

5-10 is a good range for these!

[@zenlifestyleandmannersshow6892]

@@BrenVez thank you!

[@tylerb7795]

Thank you for making this video

[@Blobfisch01]

Could you please describe in which directions one is contracting during the pancake? I understand the first part about getting the elbows to the ground but what exactly is the opposite direction?

[@unaiazpiroz7466]

trying to get the feet up

[@strahinja95]

Thanks for the video, great information! Could you help me out, i have pain in the left shoulder when i try to do the bridge, dips, sometimes push ups? I feel the irritation when my elbow is tucked close to my body. External rotation can cause pain and is limited in range of motion and strength compared to my right shoulder. I am currently doing internal and external rotations with 1.25kg 3x50 while lying on the flow, i tried cuban rotations, i tried some things by myself like attach a band to my elbow, position the elbow close(like a dip), extend the shoulder behind the back, and adduct while doing isometrics, grabbing the chair while elbows are at 90degrees and internally rotating with isometrics(still causes a feeling of tenderness so i don't push it), but none are hitting the spot in a sense that i am seeing big improvements. I couldn't overhead press, but now i am doing pike push ups, but i need to control the scapula with great intensity and focus, and overhead pressing(also triceps extentions) with full extention irritates the shoulder so i stop before full lockout. Thanks for taking the time to read.

Shot in the dark…. Bicep tendinitis??

[@dyukhnenko9356]

Hi Bren! aren't those stretches actually PNF stretches (contract-relax) and not just static stretches?

[@vincento_03]

its called pir stretches: post isometric relaxation, idk where the believe comes from, that this is pnf, but as far as ik it got nothing to do with it

[@strahinja95]

Works wonders! But why are we inverted, and how does that help?

[@KCIsMe]

so when you're inverted, you can pull your legs into that position. It works your active mobility in a way that being right side up doesn't

[@manji1993]

Great content! Do I need to warm up before the head handstand or stretches? Greetings from Germany

[@BrenVez]

Hey Manji, Thank you! No you don't need to, although if you have enough time it's certainly a good idea. That said, if you're doing anything physically intense immediately after this (oly lifting, sprints, etc.) you're definitely going to want a good warmup _after_ .

[@lucacampli3652]

I would recommend warming up the neck beforehand if you never did an headstand before or you still feel it very challenging as a pose, because with poor technic you will really put lot of pressure on your neck and your back in general and risk contractures or injuries, especially if you have weak back muscles. The warm up for the neck can be as simple as some head rotations and yes/no movements
