perfect timing I just started nordics last week!

[@wajicko]

yeaaa... improvising (no dedicated bench) always made my size 50 feet point backwards; seeing what that does to even world-record holder is very eye-opening... i guess ill have to find a workaround for that; oh and the "looking for connection" and "gently touching rep" parts are brilliant too... cheers

[@thebarefootsprinter]

When you take the feet out of this it gets way harder. And less functional. Thanks for the kind words!

Saved to my mobility playlist. Gold stuff. Thank you both

[@thebarefootsprinter]

Awesome! Thank you!

I was about to ask why not progress, without bands, from a much more limited range of motion, with 2 inch or 2 degree range increase after 5 or 6 reps. Your final observation made it clear: strength gains over full ROM while still in the early stages.

[@thebarefootsprinter]

We tried to cover it all in this one. Glad you enjoyed.

[@Nakshatra286]

Thank you very much I was doing it really wrong for past 3 days but today you made a video to tell me how to do it right 👍

[@thebarefootsprinter]

Glad I could help. I live to serve

​@@thebarefootsprinteryour unbreakable academy program have changed me forever someday I will repay you

[@randerodr7389]

Wow. I learned a lot from this one. I already use bands but technic and the pads are priceless.

[@thebarefootsprinter]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you!

[@satchycollins3985]

Thanks

How much unlocking of the hip is acceptable? I’ve been trying to do these with the hips fully locked out.

[@thebarefootsprinter]

I think a few degrees is fine. You have to be super strong to do this with full extension and keep it strict. It's something to work toward but not necessary.

[@letsgetrightnow]

Thanks for the video, I do Nordics today! Do you find value in working a maximally slow eccentric Nordic, in addition to the gentle chest touch goal?

[@lhart9619]

There is a huge change in resistance as your angle increases - hard to control , use caution.

[@thebarefootsprinter]

I only do eccentrics If I'm lowering to an elevated height. It's hard to keep it steady the whole time so I break it up into chunks.

[@illwafer]

you guys wear the sht outta those shorts

[@thebarefootsprinter]

Gotta keep it real....ly tight.
