Unlock RESTING SQUAT Mobility & Lose a BULGING GUT

[@stefanwolf8558]

Awesome vid! I try to do the resting squat for a total of 2-5 mins everyday. It feels amazing for the lower back and gets the hips, knees and ankles mobile and healthy.

This channel is criminally underrated. I've been working on my resting squat for a while now and this is the only stretch that really made me feel like I'm improving my ankle mobility.

[@guachingman]

Sit on the floor hard surface. 3 things. 1 cannot use hands to post anywhere, nor anything to lean on. 2 can change position as many times as you want, when it feels uncomfortable. 3 try to keep a straight back, or better said, keep trying to keep a straight back and breath normally. Try

[@vanessajakob9705]

Can you make a video about foot strength/stability. And causes of flat feet. Great videos btw

[@JosephGeorgeDeka]

I always feel better overall if I have done trx pistol squats. Mechanically, they are very similar to this. It makes more sense now. Goblet squats pull you forward a bit similarly, but without the lat stretch. Maybe I will add those in. So many great exercises on this channel.

[@moversodyssey]

It gets tough to decide what to put into a routine and what to leave out. I do good at keeping things simple these days, but I still change my routine every 8 weeks and cycle in a bunch of new stuff. TRX is a great way to do this exercise, I should have put it in this video.

[@siegfriedo]

Excellent video, as always. 👍 Could you post any exercises for the opposite issue, i.e. the posterior pelvic tilt?

[@moversodyssey]

Usually with posterior pelvic tilt you have to start by stretching out the abs, glutes and hamstrings really well. After this is started and you're regaining some range of motion in the associated joints you want to start strengthening the low back and the hip flexors. Some really good choices I've seen work well are the prone cobra stretch, pigeon stretch, foam rolling and multiple stretches for the hamstrings, and bird dogs or good mornings for the low back. The hip flexors can be a little trickier because you want to start by keeping the abs more inhibited while still activating the hip flexors. You can try to do standing knee lifts with ankle weights on while simultaneously focusing on keep the abs relaxed. Or you can do a glute bridge marches with bands attached from the ankles to something stationary past the feet. That way the back muscles stay active and inhibit the abs while letting you activate the hip flexors with the marches.

[@siegfriedo]

@@moversodyssey Thank you for the exhaustive response, appreciate it! 🙏

[@SkyjuiceMMA]

Could you make a video on tendons etc. Have ACL n Meniscus surgery on the same knee. And I know if you can't help then nobody can 😮

[@moversodyssey]

I feel for you, I tore my ACL and meniscus on my right knee and it's been problematic ever since. I do intend to do a tendon video before long. But I can tell you what helped me a lot is runners hangs, hip airplanes, kettlebell swings (they strengthen the hamstrings without deep knee flexion which can irritate the meniscus) followed by some careful agility drills. Of course this was in addition to my normal strength training routine and some isometrics. I would for sure stay away from deep squatting and lunging for awhile though.

[@SkyjuiceMMA]

@moversodyssey wish I seen this earlier🤣 I have been doing again squat holds gor last few weeks n my knee feels like it has gone to shit.. but had a feeling that's why my knee started to feel week. I'm gonna take your advice and stay off and also look into these exercises u mentioned. Thanks

[@iva7013]

nice to see pri exercises get introduced to the public on a larger scale! this exercise in particular has completely transformed my posture and even the quality of my gait cycle within a matter of just a couple months and i've already seen noticable differences within a couple days of practicing it. cannot reccomend giving it a try enough!

[@moversodyssey]

PRI saved me from a lot of pain and dysfunction after developing functional scoliosis from an ankle injury. Love those guys.

[@iva7013]

@@moversodyssey left lower back pain, pain in the front of the hip, rhomboid pain on my left side, all gone after doing a few PRI exercises with the proper instruction, and that's after years of trying the more conventional solutions you'd find in the fitness space, with no success. i cannot thank these guys enough, and to think that all this valuable infromation is just out there on the internet for free! Truly mind blowing. The "problem" with PRI is that it really takes a few dozen videos to really get the big picture of what they are trying to tell you, it's quite nuanced and frankly out of the scope of the current fitness paradigm. I hope that in the next few years this knowledge will become more commonplace because it really has the potential to solve so much of what regular people have to deal with in their training.

[@bohemiangoose22]

Good video. This put some stress on my knees, so hopefully that improves over time. Do we do reps when doing this or just one and done?

How would someone tackle paresthesia when sitting on the floor with legs joined and straight or sitting Indian style?

[@LTD_LEARNTODRAW]

Great video as always. What can i do if i can already squat down fully, yet still suffer from chronic anterior pelvic tilt?

[@moversodyssey]

It depends on what it is that's keeping you in anterior tilt. With anterior tilt you want to open up the low back, so be sure to check that you can round your low back. You also want to strengthen the abdominals and the hamstrings. The closer in strength the hamstrings become to the quads, the less likely you are to be in anterior pelvic tilt. Then of course make sure the hip flexors and well stretched. If all that doesn't do the trick it is almost always tight pelvic outlet muscles that externally rotate the hips. Pigeon stretches help and the version of the squatted bar reach where you squeeze the ball between the knees and go all the way down. Hope this helps

[@LTD_LEARNTODRAW]

I see. Thanks man, keep up the amazing work.

[@philipdoesfitness9162]

Is there any other way u can perform the exercise without doorframe or squat rack I don’t have neither

[@moversodyssey]

You can grab onto a stationary solid object thats roughly around waist level. I do this holding onto the kitchen sink sometimes.

[@markangelolutan2951]

Should you still do the exercise if you can't get your knees over your toes?

[@moversodyssey]

It's still a very helpful exercise even without that aspect. You will still get all the benefits except the ankle mobility. But I've also had clients do this with vertical shins until they get to a full squat, then start working on knees over toes after that as a progression.

[@markangelolutan2951]

[@lookdawg187]

I've always been very athletic, it feels wonderful having an athletic body so I want to maintain that, but these illustrations are making me look at things differently, in a good and funny way. The full resting squat looks like a cannonball into the pool, which explains why I'm fine with full resting squat and can even walk around in that position, always doing cannonballs at the pool. 🤣 Also in some older countries toilets are just a hole in the ground, so you gotta squat and do your thing.

[@Vincenzocirri]

Can i replace the ab wheel with the hollow hold?

[@moversodyssey]

Yes, the hollow hold is another great way to target these muscles.

[@Awork_ianer]

Can you make a video of gaining weight?

[@Cookiemanstor]

Are there any benefits to doing this stretch if I can already do a full ATG resting squat? Or should I just do a squat without the bar at that point?

[@moversodyssey]

The only added benefit is you can accentuate the curve of the low back and get a better lumbar stretch. But you can also do this by getting into the full squat and walking your hands far out in front of you on the ground and bending over between the knees. Or just do this and grab onto a weight in front of you if you need. If you don't have low back tightness it's honestly better to progress the ATG squat with a bar overhead. One of the best ways to further test your mobility in the squat movement.

[@Nemanja-v2r]

I can do deep squat without something to hold onto it. Which version is better to hold onto something or no

[@moversodyssey]

I wouldn't say either one is better, just better for different things. This is a great way to build up to the resting squat but it's also a great way to add extra stretch into the low back muscles on top of what the resting squat already does. But if thats not something you have issues with, the normal resting squat is probably better.

[@vinipx01]

Can I uses weighted bar?

[@moversodyssey]

You can, but it's difficult to let the bar move with you if it's weighted. But if you set the bar on a rack in a stationary position it works great.

[@darymetal]

What am i doing wrong? I checked every point but I don't feel anything except for a tiny bit of upper back, and im all the way ass to grass

[@moversodyssey]

Some people already have enough mobility in these areas and don't need this as a stretch. If thats the case a few slow reps of it is still a great warm up or cool down stretch though. To be sure I would try to move your feet a little further from the bar and pay close attention to the posterior tilt of the pelvis, a lot of people have trouble with that.
