dead hangs (hang off a bar as if you're doing a pullup but relax your shoulders).

Scared of what? Just don't load the weights too much in the beginning.

It's scarier to look at than to perform. Start with no weight, just perform the motion, then barbell with no weights, etc. Pretty much the approach to any new weight lifting exercise or one you have not performed in over a month.

Fold up a towel & put behind your back

Haha yes- alot of the behavior-oriented topics in our podcast can be applied in lots of other areas!

Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed it and happy to have you on this corner of the internet :).

t's likely just a lack of strength of your quads in that position, but it's hard to say without knowing more from an assessment!

Not everyone has access to the things you mentioned. Maybe all they have is a tall bench. Which is exactly why we made this video. Is it ideal? No, but it works. Also, it's never great to fear people with statements like "this is a major no no" or "don't risk your back" - people already have enough barriers with exercise, we don't need to add fear of injury to that list.

@@MovementUpgraded So you'd rather promote injury as long as they exercise??? The risk outweighs the benefit in my opinion. The comment is not meant to place "fear" into people not to exercise... it is meant for them to be safe which I think ALWAYS comes first. Why would you risk of ANY type of injury whether big or small just to get a few hip thrusts in your routine. You can skip it just until you figure it out and do a different exercise. If your at home you can literally grab regular household items to prop you up enough to reach the bench at your height, and if your at the gym you definitely have materials to use, I have seen multiple people get so creative. And just to add...it does NOT work effectively if the height of the bench is not to your size. Your glutes are not targeted/fired up 100%, rather you feel it in other areas like your quads because of the incline from not being parallel. BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY IT'S UP TO EVERY PERSON TO DECIDE AND MAKE THEIR OWN CHOICES🤷🏻‍♀️

😂

These are a great modification when a full sit-up isn't possible. Let us know how it goes when you give it a try!

We agree that may be ideal, but some people have to make do with the equipment they have. No need to fear monger on our page. If you feel so inclined to comment, you should instead create content yourself on your page solving this issue.

This may work - worth trying it out!

Glad you found this video! Work on this exercise unloaded and without movement to start (for example, just standing in place), then progress to loaded bodyweight movements (squats, lunges, single leg RDLs, etc.), then progress to loaded movements with external weight. These progressions should happen over the course of weeks/months so you can slowly build strength and tissue resiliency. Tissue adaptations take time. Also, we recommend looking into our other videos for plantar fasciitis. Here are a couple: Toe CARs: th-cam.com/video/tSFYxBJu8AE/w-d-xo.html Big toe stretch with PAILs & RAILs: th-cam.com/video/qzx0yqgNxKU/w-d-xo.html

@@MovementUpgraded thank you , you sweet angel person. I actually recently discovered your work via Steph Gadreau’s podcast. Mildly obsessed with your content. I keep telling all my friends who are stuck in diet culture fads and workouts that being able have freedom of movement is way sexier than trying to achieve a thigh gap. Thank you so much for responding. I appreciate you.

@@jenniferwolfe6951 You're very welcome! Thanks for the kind words. Continue to spread that message - more people (especially women) need to hear this!

There are definitley plenty of options equipment-wise that make the hip thrust set-up way easier!

Glad to hear this!

These are often a fan-favorite- so glad you enjoyed them! We love to sneak them into lifting sessions as "core" for our clients who love ab work :).

Glad to hear that! Thank you for letting us know.

In general this is a slightly regressed option for when people are unable to perform the more progressed full hollow body hold position. That may be due to poor IAP strategies or something like rehabbing from a low back injury or just simply being unable to maintain lumbar flexion in the full hollow body position.

Thank you for your feedback! Glad to hear it.

Thank you!!

Not bad - you may just need to wedge the bench up against something so it doesn't move.

Yes, that's also helpful!

i actually put a 25 plate and then sit on it… is that still okay? lol

Great to hear this! Thank you so much for the feedback and for the follow. Enjoy the content!

Can i do these exercises in lumbar disc buldge n lumbar retroleshesis

That works as well!

Hi Jose, which movement in the class are you asking about?
