Weight Training To GET Flexible!

[@luciocastro1418]

It would be great to have a weight training program focused on gaining strenght whilst gaining range of motion. Including often neglected muscles that also contribute to everyday lige like triceps and forearm flexibility.

[@bruv893]

this is a great superset for hip flexor strength and flexibility that I do a lot: kneesovertoesguy style hip flexor lift and hamstring curl for a few sets with as much weight as you can handle with good form then atg split squats. Getting the pump in the hip flexors 1st then doing the atg split squat lets u get in a really deep range of motion for it

[@felipep9397]

Kettlebells, maces and clubs.

[@guydiaz8693]

@@felipep9397 which exercises?

[@michellenurse65]

Mind Valley has a great program teaching and showing strength training with range of motion taught by Ronan Diego de Oliveira. Yearly fees of around $399 but then have access to a plethora of other self help teachers

[@georgelukhava9945]

Range of Strength is also a decent source for this info, along with ATG

[@JuanRamirez-jm9bp]

Less weight and a deeper range of motion, it sounds wise... Thanks for this video!

[@TheHeartRobb]

You're like a mad scientist in the gym... It's like everyone else is doing the same boring moves and you're over in the corner do some next level 'ish. lol

[@omnigodx11]

this is exactly the kind of content I'm looking for

[@benhaion]

Really appreciate the fact you used the correct definition of mobility, it's a term that is being used incorrectly so many times.... Well done

[@johnocallaghan2420]

Your random tips like these will help me with mobility issues when I deadlift or squat. Thanks, Tom!

[@RaymondBurton]

Wow - this is all so spot on. Your content is awesome and this pulls everything together - from mobility, to stretching and lifting. Very well put together. Thank you.

[@Coharpe]

Pro tip: Seated calf raises emphasizing the stretch at the bottom. Upgrade your ankle mobility for squatting and build ya calves in the process.

[@mrdman094081]

Clarity is priceless.

[@MuhammadLaher]

This is a great video. I think many would benefit from a full body routine focused on weighted ROM and loaded stretching.

[@viswavijeta5362]

ROM: use it or lose it. Involve higher ranges of motion in weight training. Be creative. Like in squate, lunges, shoulder flexion, lat pull over, lat machine pull.

[@davidrioux611]

Great Summary. One of your best videos

[@WorkoutUnionPT]

Very well done Tom! Completely agree with you! Depending on the exercises and the ROM that you use you can improve your range/mobility with weight training!

[@cocoletraceur2647]

Split squat, jefferson curl, cossack squat, diagonal stretch... there is a looooot of loaded mobility/strengh exercise 😍

[@fearlessfrida9473]

Thank you for this information this is what I needed 🙏🏼

[@pablomarinhernandez2293]

Wow, this video is all I needed! I've always had a very big problem as a rugby player: lack of flexibility has always been my biggest flaw and I always get injured mostly because of it. I've recently started going to the gym, that's why I wanted to know how I could work out my flexibility while doing weight training, so this video was the answer! I had also heard that weight training restricts your flexibility but, after hearing the explanation given at 1:21, I understand that it's about how you perform the exercise, not the exercise itself. The examples of weight exercises modified to add mobility work are awesome, but, could you please show us some back and chest flexibility exercises? As I've already said, this video is awesome and very helpful, you've gained a new subscriber.

[@fp218]

Hi Tom! Thank you very much for your videos. They are so helpful to me. At the beginning i followed them when i didn't had time to go to the gym. Some months ago i went through a surgery and they helped me a lot to recover my legs flexibility. Now, during lockdown time, they help me to keep flexible and in shape. Thank you very much from Rome.

[@NobleMonster]

I know it’s time consuming buuuuuuut after I strength train I do some mobility or flexibility yoga for about 20 mins. So thanks for making those follow alongs. I new on flexibility so I’ve been coming to your channel to get started.

[@juliano7nogueira]

Hello! Great video super helpful I personally struggle a lot with my lack of mobility, from my experience exercicies like the ones you show in the video are more effective than traditional stretching. Could you please make another video with a few different exercises? Thank you so much

[@kevinbautista1970]

This is exactly what I needed, thank you!

[@AndyJ9]

Great video, will be trying this out, thanks

[@jorgecruz797]

Nice information. Your job is really good. You are the best coach on youtube. Please next video, talk about press to handstand straight vs bent arm.

[@hollygsphpr]

Tom, thank you for another informative & well thought out video. Love following your tutorials

[@alexisgaborit]

Great video man, very informative as usual

[@tc-3]

I've got some youtube catching up to do... great video, Tom! I love incorporating mobility work into my strength training. Killing two birds with one stone.

[@AnAmateurAdventurer]

Well said, as long as you train with a wide range of motion it doesn't matter is it's calisthenics or weights. Just depends what your goals are

[@runthenumbers9698]

Yeah, I have been focusing on my deadlift, and my hamstring flexibility has gone to shit. I gotta incorporate more range of motion into my lifting workouts...

[@ODDLOT83]

Hi Tom, I know in some video you've might have already answered this, but how often do you train Flexibility and same question for mobility, I know you said in one video that you do loaded stretching maybe twice a week? I am just training to suss out my routine is all, so that way I can take your videos and put them in some type of order for myself. Thank you in advance

[@micahhunter2706]

I've been smoking a little bit of weed before going to the gym and I end up just stretching the whole time instead of lifting weights. Then I started using weights to get a deeper stretch. Now I'm finally lifting weights just like these exercises. That's how I found these videos.

[@MrDemodeamo]

Deadon point youre my dude

[@antonioperez7528]

Tom. I’ve been using a 20kg weight’s vest while doing your free pancake routine with amazing results. 🙏🏾 💪🏾💛🤙🏾

[@rajaafullo]

Nice. Why didn't I think of that.😂🙌🙌

[@brianwright9215]

Love this ✊🏿

[@vivocompassiono6734]

Great video! Wouldn't it be better to do Romanian deadlift with straight legs and just builder up more carefully?

[@rubendariocpa5649]

Hmm learning from the mindful mover? I’ve been implemented these snd it helps a lot. Can you do one exercise tutorial for the pancake with weight?

[@BodyweightWarrior]

I've been using these for years but yes Phil is hot on these as well. We both learnt from Poliquin :)

[@ProdigiousReturn]

I think you discovered a need in the market… please consider a couple future videos that give some routines one could use for developing rom and flexibility while working our for strength as well.

[@lauramorelli6924]

Hi I love your videos and the explanations. I was wondering if you have any tips for strengthening and stabilizing the hips and pelvis during deadlift. I have a hard time “finding” and keeping the proper neutral position in the lumbar spine. I think due to over mobility in that area.

[@SageGarlandSingerSongwriter]

Is doing that lunge squat that way bad for sensitive knees?

[@suja2604]

@Tom Merrick, is there any chance to put some POSTURE ROUTINE into your app? It would be great! I am missing that ;-) best regards!

[@Koofoopk]

I was always taught knee going over toes in lunges is unsafe... Not sure why though. However this video you suggest going knee over toes.... Can you explain this to me? Thanks!

[@byteback]

How come these videos are not the "Home" page of the channel? From the Home page, it looks like the channel is dead, no new videos for over a year.

[@Oi-mj6dv]

Weighted stretches are GOD. Rdls and weighted butterflys hve done more for my adductros/hamstrings than anything else i ever tried

[@aaronmaxim]

Charles Poliquin advice activated, nice

[@krishnaowen9542]

What do you think about pullovers/Flys for shoulder flexibility?

[@mathieumilgram6798]

How do you like them Vivobarefoot for training ? I love my Motus II's.Ty for the vid.

[@mario8833]

So basically training full rom can improve flexibility because you can acces only the portion of range that you actually use

[@donkeyjoe4782]

knees over toes

[@davebeecher6579]

Thanks for video,I agree totally

[@BradNelson13]

Great insight

[@RahulKumar-or8uo]

Hello sir Rahul kumar here thanks for helping me

[@creativename3256]

Hey! I've been doing some of your routines for a while now and I'm wondering how much time I need to recover. I assume my muscles are healed when they aren't sore anymore, but since that can take about a week for me, I don't get to do the routines as often as recommended (for instance the hamstring stretches for beginners video). What would you recommend doing differently?

[@davidbeiler6364]

I cant do anything overhead, do you recommend anything for me to work on?

[@shaungingell5404]

do you have a plan for this?

[@nickbeard4100]

Did anyone just realize there gonna go in the gym tomorrow and workout in a completely different way 😅

[@andrewaar]

Make sure you give credit to Knees over toes guy!

[@BodyweightWarrior]

This was uploaded long before Ben even made videos 😂

[@milosstolic3018]

Are there any more middle flexibility exercises u haven't shown yet?

[@PuppyTheTiny]

Hes has shown others But this one is good too Just do it as far as you can without hurting yourself

[@unoriginaljames]

Thanks for the video! Would you say there are any strong reasons a person should do elevated Romanian dead-lifts vs. a Jefferson curl? Or vice-versa?

[@Jonas_Fox]

So if I sit for a living, does it make sense to work on hamstring and quad flexibility both or should I favor one more than the other to balance out hip issues? Or maybe abs need to be stronger?

[@higha77]

I'd say, all of that.

[@andrewrentuaya9510]

ATG split squats

[@persiancat1597]

Nice 👍

[@Jacob930321]

Summary: increase the range of motion

[@boneheadcycler1412]

I've always been told to avoid knee over toe. I'm not sure why; I just assumed it had something to do with tendons or tension in the knee. Is this a myth?

[@cristiansava1266]

Yes it is

[@thomaswalker5390]

What's the exercise called at 2:00 ?

[@Manojrgulalkai]

Pancake

[@MrDrJaybones]

algorithm

[@pasqualemirabelli6879]

Are you a therapist?

[@kumbackquatsta]

a polyplop lunge?

[@rnonthenicschannel4820]

Hello Bro😁

[@andimuhammadaqil7779]

Chill less, Handstand more

[@tusharrvnt9764]

Bro looks like tom Shelby

[@millie7642]

it frustrates me how you keep putting your knee past your toes lmao

[@Liberty_Freedom_Brotherhood]

Millie that’s the natural way to squat. Watch any child who hasn’t learnt bad habits yet.

[@donnchadhmcginley3153]

That's bad for your knees
