[@onytay-]

@@alexanderabrashev1366 bro I know people who work out for appearance who physically look stronger, but when it comes to actually practical strength are not as strong as people who focus on calisthenics and using their muscles in conjunction with each other. If that makes sense

[@picgmr1575]

@@alexanderabrashev1366 actually strength has little to do with muscle size, strength is how effectively you can use your muscles that you have. so yeah, he is way stronger than most.

[@morristgh]

stretch daily, every morning. 30 sec per stretch. I personally do side split -> pancake -> pike -> couch stretch (both sides) -> front split (both sides) -> bridge (instead of holding 30 seconds I do 5-10 reps). That's what I do (I incorporate an active part after every stretch for ~10 secs as well), you can do something different, it doesn't matter that much. Just stretch, every day.

THE CRAMP OMFG HAHAHAHAHA

[@CybertroninfiniteOfficial]

Do wrist curls

[@firstlast-wg2on]

@@CybertroninfiniteOfficial Yep do them but they’re not really a grip strength thing. I never do curls but I do CoC, in the periods of time that I have done wrist curls they’ve had no affect on my ability to close my grippers.

[@CybertroninfiniteOfficial]

@@firstlast-wg2on oooo interesting, I have done them to improve my grip strength during deadlifting

[@firstlast-wg2on]

@@CybertroninfiniteOfficial That makes more sense because you’d require wrist stability as well as grip strength. So yeah definitely do them for deadlifts if wrist stability is a factor 👍👍👍

[@no.thx.]

Dude, you're a genius. The short, super easy to actually do format that you have is so great, because I actually have been DOING a lot of the things that you show me, I usually don't do anything I see in shorts lol, even if it sounds like a good idea, because if I don't do something while I'm thinking about it .. I'll forget. You always give me something I can do RIGHT NOW and I love that

[@lunarmoth8121]

You are now my favorite KZbinr I love your videos and have been looking for these types of exercises thank u!

[@hexiris]

this guy is probably the healthiest and nicest person I've seen so far in this genre of videos. i was obese and was rly scared of exercising in public, started doing it at home, lost a bunch of weigh, almost 60kg, but now I saw myself getting lazy again, even despite being at an average weight, now i feel i need go get a better posture, work on myself and on diet, which is rly hard to do being depressed af but DUDE THIS GUYS MOTIVATES ME SO MUCH! if he's reading this, thank u.

Hey that's great! David's work has also motivated me a lot during the past months. I managed to keep a cool but consistent workout and stretching schedule. The gains are incredible, I used to be super stiff but I feel pretty good right now.

David vs Hampton in a wholesome calisthenics competition

[@ABCDEFGconversation]

I've noticed since doing this stretch/exercise, my old elbow injury has flared up. I went to a new boxing gym and a guy said he had a similar problem and he snapped a tendon. He said to try to touch my shoulder with my thumb while starting with my arms outstretched to my sides. I couldn't do it and the pain was intense in my elbow. I've booked with a physio but I'm glad this highlighted what movements cause the impingement and pain while in the gym I can also show the physio the test I did to cause extreme pain. I'm 38 retired pro boxer due to this injury and raising a family. Anyway I'm grateful for your content. Hopefully I get my elbow/shoulder/neck/pec sorted 😅

[@eugeniovasquez3780]

Great vibes using all these flexy shorts with my drumming to avoid injuries Thx4this

[@lonegamer1717]

I love your videos man. I hurt my shoulder as a kid and have had limited to no mobility on my left wing and clavicle and slowly over time I've learned to move these area more and more and when I found your videos it has lead me to so much pain relief that it's almost life changing

[@amitanshsrivastav9640]

Instructions unclear, I didn't feel any cramps

[@LinosPreheatedAirFryer]

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I was missing. Working on getting my first pull-up and I know this will help a lot!

[@steveplummer5779]

I have started doing so many things that this guy recommends and I feel better. I just feel better. That's all that's important. I used to rock climb, and now I feel pathetic and weak, it's great to feel that I'm getting it back.

[@antyxwg]

Ya know, watching these videos makes me realize how inflexible I am in a lot of areas I hadn’t even considered

[@fungirl917]

I def need different stretches for my wrists!! I can’t flex my wrist 90 * anymore. I also get tennis elbow. I have started your shoulder routines.

[@jante234]

I cant say enough how useful and perfectly timed your videos are! Just what ive been looking for and needed my whole life

[@ksoule1985]

Holy crap! THANK YOU FOR BOTH OF THESE!!! I have a pre/mild arthritic joint in my thumb and wrist and for some weird reason, this made it stop hurting nearly as much as it was before!

[@dragonsrule20201]

This is exactly the comment I was looking for. I didn't want to exacerbate my existing pain, but I know strengthening will be good for it. Thank you!

[@xenashima9170]

I IMMEDIATELY FELT THE CRAMP WHEN HE SAID IT LOL

[@Bonxur]

My job has me gripping onto swords for 10+ hours a day and at the end of my week, my thumbs and fingers are always in stiff, numb, and usually in pain. These stretches help so much to improve my overall mobility

[@heavenlysheephugshuggingfo1505]

Mr flexing your advice has helped in the past and it has saved me money

[@rel4998]

Wow, I've had wrist pain for nearly 2 years, seen specialists who did no help, and I felt such a relief in my wrist doing that stretch. No clue if it's a long term solution but that felt amazing

[@masterleon40]

Same with the first exercise in your hamstring video. First exercise here doesn't generate almost any tension because the muscle is attempting to contract while shortened at both joints, aka active insufficiency.

[@jpaugh64]

I discovered the open-grip variation because it directly answers the pain I get when I use a computer keyboard for too long. (I'm a software developer.)

[@markosverdhi]

I've been climbing for a few weeks now and I'll tell you what, doing the strengthening exercise when already being a little sore from a training session is CRAZY.

[@connortremblay1259]

Oh sweet christ I am so stiff in my upper forearms. I can manage about 45° of rotation with my right hand and about 30° with my left. Time to do those stretches I suppose.

[@mouthfulacoque3580]

this is awesome. I felt the grip strength trainer with little difficulty and no reverse tension. big progerse

I was following the first time and it freaked me out when it happened. Right hand unfortunately needs the second stretch first but I love what you're doing, keep it up 🤙

Bro tell us the solution of shoulder clicks

[@thewitchstarot6975]

my wrists barely get any movement and pop at the slightest of movements, this will help me tons, thank you!

[@owenwhitmell5643]

Wanted to say thanks cause the way you present everything feels very accessible. I know flexibility training is always going to be helpful in the big picture but with tendon inflammation induced carpal tunnel and trigger fingers in both my hands I'm always concerned about causing further damage. This seems like it's hopefully gentle enough without straining anything.

[@isabellagracee7]

im in colorguard so wrist flexibility is super important and i had no idea that making fists made that stretch deeper this helps so much

[@kvhidersine1857]

Danke! I started bouldering so these stretches help!

[@Deristrome]

I actually felt it on my underarm right bellow we’re the wrist was curling, guess all those daily stretches helped, I will still try it.

[@slicenjiotaku2443]

Same

[@strawberryfox.]

Strangely, my left hand does not cramp but my right hand does.

[@farrqwidfry9751]

I have fairly good grip and i like to believe that if i grip onto whatever i want doesn't matter and focus every muscle that effects closing my grip harder and try to incorporate every muscle i can with as much force as i can and get my mind in my arm almost and just crush through whatever is in my hand

[@nickdefrances6851]

[@tukaramgaidhani7006]

Bro you just unlocked my 1 push up by this video 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤

[@TheCompleteMental]

People, make sure to pronate the arm, that means palm side outwards. Otherwise you're causing that pain for the tendons on the back of your wrist and not getting maximum contraction.

[@grandmakilledu]

I needed to see this all my life with my weak grip 🫶🏻

[@avithedev]

You're an inspiration

[@Jocelynngoslin]

Can you show us stretches for dealing with the soreness after please?

[@Klutz_Krafts]

Thanks I thought my arm was glitching when it cramped the first time

[@sketchflix6425]

Felt it in the front... What does that mean?

[@nekocat6513]

it means ur doing it correctly i think

[@AWizardOfTastyness]

Yooooo, I need that stretch super bad 😞

[@Schrodingers_kid]

Actually needed this, but I feel like I messed up my joint too. While this will help with one problem that stops me from developing grip (I was doing curls with some small weight in my palm), I feel like painful clicking won't stop lol

[@Whazzy]

Any advice for people who might not be as able bodied? I just found your content and am really interested in these workouts, however I am having surgery on my ankle soon and can’t do a lot. How do you stay active when incapacitated? Do you push though pain or just stop? Thanks for reading

Hello! I really love your videos and I find them very useful for training but do you have any recommendations on how to get strength back after a broken wrist? My right arm is much weaker than my left arm now due too my surgery but I would like to get back the strength I used to have?

[@wyattjohnson5181]

Guys, if you want grip strength just climb ropes or do pull ups.

[@soulisslippery]

Im sorry that ending- my feet would cramp so bad
