Hamstring flexibility requirements: 2 blocks and the cutest dog in the world.

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Coach Molly knows it

[@warriorsinagarden]

Dang I just need some blocks and I'll be set. 😂

[@under0ath109]

The timer in the upper right is actually super helpful and allows me to know what I'm doing much better!

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Good to know, will add them in future

[@DaironLoL]

Total legend this guy, stretching the hamstrings in the woods just seems so calming

[@Memee833]

Green screens are really good....lol

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Outdoors training just feels better

[@Memee833]

@BodyweightWarrior I know u were outside lol. Keep up the Great vids & information. k

[@thegoodwordproject]

This is incredibly helpful! Cant thank you enough for making such a huge difference to our lives!

[@AnishAhmed]

Performed the routine once. Was able to touch knuckles in the initial test. Progressed to touch one palm by the end. Always appreciate your content. Can you please create more content for opening up shoulders and address upper body stiffness ?

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Sure thing

[@LyraTyrell]

Wow, followed this up in a week. Amazing content and viewer service

[@broda769]

Love these follow along videos. They dont go to fast and helpful tips for every movement. Keep doing what you're doing!

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Thank you! Will do!

[@lembreibne]

What a great set of exercises. I enjoy your follow-along videos very much. Matter of fact, during the pandemic, I watched one of your stretch videos every single day. Thank you a lot for keeping me active and motivated with workouts, stretching, and nutrition! (and... DYI videos as a bonus 😁

[@younesscheboubi7264]

Amazing stretches thanks Tom

[@ryanhughes2865]

Fantastic video! I was able to progress from only getting my palms on a yoga block in the beginning, to my fingers, and nearly my palms, to the floor by the end. Well done!

[@crypto2frens]

Incredible Tom. My hamstrings feel amazing. Mobility master!

[@ZachGarry]

Holy shit. That last one felt amazing. Thanks Tom!

[@replicant-1986]

After the first time doing this routine I went from fingertips down, to palms down. I love this. Another great routine.

[@Siedlczyn]

Tom You are the best

[@VesicaChloeAstrology]

9 mins later and I feel such a release in my legs. As usual, this was just what I needed! Thank you Tom :)

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Wonderful!

[@talhanegbi7335]

My hamstrings send a thank you! Felt so good(:

[@ScuffyTheDog]

Your dog is adorable.

[@HomecockpitsAndMore]

Amazing, my hamstrings have always been super tight but since I started stretching on a regular basis I can actually manage to get all the way to the ground again. At the start of this routine I got half way down my shins, at the end I actually touched my toes. Always amazing to see the difference like this. Thank you so much for these amazing videos, you rock!

[@gunnars635]

Interesting! How far down did you reach when you started? Whats your age and gender? Superstiff dude myself.

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Great work

[@robindavis7023]

Thanks!

[@rdc1985]

MovementByDavid posted something very similar recently. Thanks for the video Tom, it's a great follow along video and I'll aim to do this a few times a week.

[@BodyweightWarrior]

This one is based of a video I made 3 years ago, just in follow along form. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqmmmWyFm8ugnZIsi=j2NXuVB1YvJkzzku

[@Ani_arnav]

Wow, pre-video I could get fingertips to floor with feet elevated, and after I could get my entire palms flat on floor w/ feet elevated! Thanks for this and all of your other helpful work!

[@teleahy2489]

Great video Tom with lot's of useful info and demonstrations of that info. No disrespect to your session but without a doubt the most vigorous body part being worked was Molly's tail😃. That was one happy pup. Cheers

[@BodyweightWarrior]

She don’t stop ever

[@time_of_yer_life_eh_kid]

Hey Tom - this has worked out great for my hamstring flexibility, which was near zero when I started - how often do you recommend doing these a day for continued improvement?

[@TheCelestialScientist]

Most definitely the first stretch. After completed, felt this pop in My lower back which loosened up the pressure a bit. Was able to complete the stretch test while initially only able to uncomfortably stretch knuckles flat on ground.

[@SeanDiRocco1]

DOG 😍😍😍

[@ecofundrive]

I downladaed your app fantastic But you should put a link with a vidéo explanation

[@becks33]

I have patella tracking issue in my right knee so my right leg goes in and my patella isn't tracking correctly. I stretching everyday. Been told my it band is tight but I use the foam roller a few times a week. Have you got a video on a good stretching routine and stretching for it band and glutes

[@hotforgibson]

Awesome! I was able to go from standing on blocks and touching fingers to ground to being able to do fists and almost palms.

[@hopelessatusernames]

can't believe how well this worked

[@TrisGarage]

The sciatic stretch was great, and my hips felt so good afterwards.

[@heroricspiritfreinen38]

NEVER stretch that nerve! It has caused permanent damage over time! Look it up

[@kraays3404]

Great tutorial. Could you do a video focused more on calf and ankle flexibility? Mine always feels so stiff

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Think there are a couple of ankle routines that’ll have you covered on the channel

[@ProfessorQuality]

When using hip flexors to go deeper @ 6:40, is it okay to have a slight bend in the legs to squeeze the yoga block?

[@Nortrin]

🙏🏻❤️

[@tylersuchan579]

I've found that I'm more likely to do things like this when I make them a daily habit (eventually it's harder to not do it since it becomes a habit). That being said, are there any downsides to performing this follow along everyday? Is there such a thing as stretching "too much"?

[@benbobben]

Are knees supposed to be straight in pike position?

[@WayneManifesto]

I like this format. I have some kyphosis and no rotation or even a different object could be pinned in-between me. My whole lower body flexibility is bad and doesn't seem to improve. I stretch everyday and don't see results

[@MafuHardy]

I'm the same, had L5S1 fusion after a climbing accident. My flexibility has completely gone

[@giannibelli7548]

damn usually i feel a lot looser with your routines but no matter what I try my hamstring don't seem to budge... i'll keep doing this one for a while and see though

[@jobanski]

Oh man! My hamstrings were really tight, but now they feel much more loose! I only lack the cutest dog assistant in the world!😂

[@emmaeIIe]

I find that I can place my palms on the floor, and that remains the same even after this routine-no progress beyond that. When experimenting with standing on blocks, I noticed the need to bend my knees to touch the floor with just the tips of my fingers. Is it possible that tight hips are affecting my ability to effectively stretch my hamstrings?

[@BodyweightWarrior]

I would suspect you need more active work, strengthening the hip flexor. Check out my secrets of flexibility training video to get an idea as to what

[@ViewtifulBr080]

We still need back bridge big 5 :( favorite series to get more flexible

[@BodyweightWarrior]

It’s coming 👍

[@Homerow1]

I couldn't bend forward past 90 degrees into the initial plank, after the routine i could get there though! I think I might have naturally very tight hamstrings, so this will be a common review for me!

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Not all of us are graced with flexibility naturally but results are dictated by actions 👍

[@Simon-zo2vo]

Will this help with split training?

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Nice warm up for it

[@akravindran]

Fantastic! I can touch my toes, but my back tends to round. Is that a problem?

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Nope, this will naturally happen but the aim is to get more hip rotation

[@justinhawthorne2809]

I’m on messenger also

[@ecofundrive]

Impossible to crush

[@Thomao]

🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕

[@kimberleypowell7719]

Confession: I watch your videos to see Coach Molly 😂❤❤❤

[@zemaxe13]

Luckily I don't need a yoga block to press with my legs/abs - I have a belly in place ready to surve its purpose!

[@cdahl]

I went from being a couple of millimeters from touching my toes to being able to place my fists on the ground 👌🏽

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Solid 💪

[@detlevaltendorf4521]

Nice exercise! But the dog wants to play ;-)

[@BodyweightWarrior]

She got a few throws in there 😂

[@o_oo_o1812]

my sweet tom

[@pan.con..manteca2804]

why u dont brush ur hair?

[@broda769]

He lives in woods

[@justinhawthorne2809]

Tom, my name is Justin Hale and I’m on my road to splits. I need your help to achieve them. Been watching you forever. Let’s set up a clarity call or something.

[@hmpf7729]

Love how you youtubers copy everything you see…

[@BodyweightWarrior]

This is based off a video I made 3 years ago…kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqmmmWyFm8ugnZIsi=j2NXuVB1YvJkzzku

[@TimBelchamber]

Love how people make accusations based off assumptions...

[@hmpf7729]

​@@TimBelchamber no I started exactly in time when Tom started 10 years ago, so I see. Ido portal base, than frc copy from ido, than ATG copy base from Ido, than youtubers copied like strengthside, Tom, moveyou, vanja, morisson, stayflexy, faq and others... And now mishmash from everywhere movement culture related Beshamat, DNS.. Now its all staple thats how youtuber, instagram works. People do everything to help others to help marketing yourself..

[@TimBelchamber]

@@hmpf7729 then you know more than most, and I made assumptions whilst joking at you - but unless you see misrepresented information here, it is simply humanity moving forward, taking what they learn from others and improving on it. After all isn’t that the point of generational development and a key foundation in what makes us human? I get that some people put out trash and straight copy others but I still think your comment is misplaced here.
