Upper Body Mobility Tips For Olympic Weightlifting With Olympian Chad Vaughn

[@SquatUniversity]

What ares do you struggle most with mobility? Let me know so I can make more content to help you!

[@TarantulaRookie]

definitely struggle overhead. But also i feel knowing 'where' the mobility issue is can be an issue if training alone. identifying which muscles are causing the lack of mobility is tricky.

[@blakelightsey8094]

100% overhead and shoulder mobility

[@cperry76705]

Shoulder mobility, wrist, hip mobility and ankle mobility... Yea i may need to stop lifting and just do yoga everyday. Lol

[@katora_cut_Monty]

Man thank you for each and every video you posted here...I have learnt so much from you ....you are an inspiration 🙏👍

[@SquatUniversity]

You're so welcome! I'm honored to hear you're enjoying the videos so much and finding them helpful.

[@matthewclomo5265]

Your work has helped me learn so much more about my body. It’s improved my health in the gym. In particular I have autoimmune issues, so my joints are very sensitive fuckers, your work has been instrumental in getting back into the gym regularly!!!

[@saleemshaikh1143]

Doc, you are doing a great job, can't thank you enough for the invaluable videos. Thank you & God bless you

[@SquatUniversity]

Thank you so much!

OH Lat stretch (Plate/ DB ~ 5kg) ----- 5~10 rep (5~10s hold)

[@ramoncardoso6748]

AMAZING. give this guy a thumbs up people, cmon. thank you bro!

[@pohelloop]

Isn't that supine stretch over the kettlebell the exact same stretch that's in one of your "top 3 worst stretches" video?

[@camilocruzfitnesscoach8139]

Thanks guys ! This videos is very good ! Thanks again!

[@shanindtheeed]

Great video, thanks a lot 👍🏿👍🏿

[@TarantulaRookie]

Love these drills and will implement them for sure.

[@nishagathani215]

Can you make a video for beginners on how to progress to barbell squats if they are not strong enough for barbell squats. Thanks

[@Bingobangomcgee]

The behind the neck stretch feels great for me as i've done mainly bodyweight + vest pike ohp pushups for years, so this feels nice as fuck

[@YungBroski]

Yo Aaron very helpful vid thanks man. I have a lot of stiffness when trying to properly do an OHP. Will try these stretches out beforehand when I'm training shoulders again.

[@BazzGamez]

very informative vid! with the reverse grip behind the neck stretch i notice that my left side isnt able to stay in the externally rotated position properly when going up, how would you fix this left to right discrepancy?

[@atmaximum]

Same here, would love a tip with this

[@SquatUniversity]

Try some of the lat flexibility drills in this video and then try it again: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYnGdX-NlqtqpJo

@@SquatUniversity Thanks

[@1lum1nat1_za4]

I also struggle immensely with the overhead and front rack position. Lat stretches and similar overhead mobility work twice a week, but seldom do smashing. How often can one do this? (10 odd hours a day behind a desk not doing me any favors)

[@matthewclomo5265]

Can you stand? I find standing means I can stake a wide stance and move around which keeps everything nice and flexible

[@bijaydas892]

Sir I have a question. One of my clients. He have some issue in his hip joint. When I was start screening. I find out his hip joint is one side is retro version and another is ante version. I couldn't understand what should I do

[@shantanusapru]

If we don't have access to weight plates & barbells, and since the goal in the 2nd exercise seems to be ext. rotation of the shoulder, could we simply use a rod/PVC pipe with a supine grip (instead of prone grip), or a resistance band with a neutral or supine grip (instead of a prone grip)? Will that work/do the job? Or, if/since weighted mobility is the goal then what about using a light kettlebell holding by the horns (thumbs straight)?

[@SquatUniversity]

Yes you could do that as well.

[@shantanusapru]

@@SquatUniversity OK. Thanks for replying!

[@bumbaclat932]

This guy is a Chad

[@Bertone4884]

I don’t have kettlebells at home, cool to use a foam roller for the contraption stretch?

[@mabus1232]

If you had something like a peanut, a mwod Gemini, or a thoracic tool would that be better or worse than a kettlebell?

[@delaneehansen1151]

what if the gym I go to has nonolympic weight plates? if I used a 10lb weight plate it would be a very narrow grip and not resemble an overhead position on a lift

[@fisherfitness8552]

Does the KB lat stretch put too much stress on the spine? It looks like the KB is solely on it. Are you supposed to retract the shoulder blades to protect the spine?

[@mr-iz8cx]

Should be fine. If you aren't comfortable, use some padding. Could also start much lighter and build up, to test the mechanics of the movement

[@efebayndr888]

what can ı do instad of behind the back stretch

[@harlan5339]

Can i buy that squat matt you guys use?

[@AscendHumanity]

Thank you

[@deluded3789]

Tried underhand snatch grip n there’s slight pain in my shoulder when I move the bar back. Wats the probable cause?

[@squatsontheroad]

Thx again

[@SquatUniversity]

You're welcome !

[@davidteitge]

Alex, in this video you stand with your shoulder forward a little instead of pulled back when’re your arms are by your side. Is that okay or advised? I genuinely don’t know, not trying to insult you

[@rob7287]

Do you have a video about posture?

[@SquatUniversity]

Not yet

[@f35bhore]

In the overhead plate stretch at 4 min., I feel a pinch in my shoulder when it is stretched out. Actually hurts. But only on one side. Have not had any problems with that shoulder.

[@matthewclomo5265]

Stop before it hurts, and than slowly increase the range as long as there is no acute pain

[@gerdsiebern9648]

And how many reps are good?😉

[@arnevanstraeseele9702]

Hi, will these streches also help for my front rack position?

[@SquatUniversity]

They definitely can. A simple test retest you can do Is get under your front rack, see how high you can drive your elbows and then do these - then recheck!

[@arnevanstraeseele9702]

@@SquatUniversity Thanks a lot! Btw great video again! Do you have maybe some good exercises I can do whit my current injury? I have a tear in my UCL on my left elbow. Thanks a lot and keep up the good work you do!

[@greyishdun]

Front rack position.

[@ba0700]

Gotta already be mobile.
