This is the first stretch that has helped me feel like I can stand up straight without feeling like I am forcing my shoulders back, instant relief. Thank you!!!!
I love this guy. He actually seems really smart and not totally concerned with money. Get info and very consistent videos. Just hope you know you're doing everyone a really great service and you're changing people lives for the better even if just a little. Thanks dude you're appreciated
I've been doing roller exercises like this for years and it has helped. But lately had an issue that just wouldn't work out. Of course, Jeff knows just how to make it work best! You are a miracle worker!
Jeff on the bench stretch. I found that a band around elbows while holding a straight bar in both hands helps as well... Not 100% know why but know the stretch does increase without reaching to far back.
i'm no bodybuilder but I just found out about Jeff/Athlean-X today. As someone determined to correct their posture, I have stretched my way through a few videos now and I really enjoy them. Thanks Jeff!
Thank you for not only showing the exercises but the critical manner in which to perform the exercises! I have been foam rolling most of the time improperly while trying to target my thoracic spine. Now I know the proper method to make it effective. Knowledge is power! Truly thankful for your excellent tips & advice
How about gymnastics / yoga poses such as wheel pose? I know that stretches mostly the lumbar spine, but also the thoracic spine. Are poses such as wheel dangerous, in adult life, for those that have very high mobility (for instance former gymnasts)?
Your videos about the rounded shoulders, tilted pelvis, stretching your back are absolutely amazing. If you only you had a more specific programme of exercise to buy to fix those conditions (I have both)!!!
I like these videos, Jeff. What about a complete stretching routine video. I know you preach doing static stretching routines before bed. What do you think about stretching immediately after your workout? Whether it's in the morning, the afternoon, or the evening. What kind of effects will it have at these different times of the day?
mate i have been stretching before going to bed for about 3 months now, i started with 5 to 10 minute sessions now im doing 20 min stretching sessions and the results ive got are amazing. i focus on the hamstrings a lot and i am now able to do a toe touch, before i couldnt go past the knees. so my advice to you is stretch everyday before going to bed, you can do it also after workouts but never before, but if you are going to only stretch once, make it before bed. and also focus primarly on your tightest area.
+BF Dijidox I want to hear Jeffs opinion about stretching after workout too - I heard, that it can be bad to do it just after working out, and to wait at least 4 hours, becouse the muscles after workout are tired and won't like to stretch, and stretching just after workouts won't eliminate the trigger points in muscles and should been done at least 4 hours after training or later. I hope that he will make video bout that, it would be great.
Thanks Jeff, recently I have been putting my hands by my head when foam rolling but didn't realize I was blcking my thoracic from getting the full benefit. Thanks again man, keep up the good work!
The goal when foam rolling the T-spine can be to increase extension. Also, sometimes (if you are protracting your scape enough), you will hear a "pop" or cavitation. This typically means that you had a facet joint or transverse process out of alignment. Unless you're a healthcare professional specifically looking for this dysfunction, don't try to recreate that pop. Stick with the basic mechanics of extension on the foam roller.
Nice video. Really appreciate all the areas that you know that can help treat and better mobility throughout the body to help with exercises that may be difficult for some
A lot of older but very fit women are following your channel. Could you please dedícate a few minutes to specifically address their unique issues? Thanks a lot. I love the science behind each of your recommendations.
First assess if you need more thoracic extension or rotation. Do not attempt to increase extension if you already are in fixed extension (flat thoracic spine). Another note, don't use a foam roller for thoracic extension mobilization, rather use a pool noodle. The foam roller is too large and you want to focus on more segmental mobilization.
Great video again Jeff! Thank you ! Could you maybe do a video like "One day in the life of Jeff Cavaliere" ? Would be pretty interesting how a day would look like behind the scenes! Maybe when you are training someone or doing a video, doing your own workout etc. . I guess many people may be interested in a video like this. Anyway, keep on your great work with providing many many people with fantastic videos! Greetings MD-PersonalFitness
Your videos are amazing! I use them to blast through a 400 pound benchpress plateau when my shoulders started to feel weak and quick. What can you suggest for an 80-year-old female with psoriasis pain that causes spasming and difficulty breathing and severe pain? She’s had multiple nerve ablation’s and that has not worked. Thanks so much and keep on doing what you do so well!
Enjoyed the vid and all other like it. When I was younger, I never did any of that stuff. Now, I am forced to do it and feel better because of it. Thanx!
I'm not so sure about the second half of these exercises, specifically the second part of the second-half when flexing the lower lumbar. That's an unnatural position for the spine to experience and is likely going to cause pain over time if repeated enough, although it may feel good at the time. "Isolating and exercising the lower back muscles while performing therapeutic, back isolation, progressive resistance exercises actually amplifies back pain. To reduce pain, rotational torso motion must originate from the hips and shoulders and not come about through rotation and flexion of the spinal column." -Stuart McGill Back Mechanic
Ugh guys that second exercise is genius. My thoracic was FROZEN. I COULDNT SQUEEZE A MUSCLE IN MY UPPER BACK. Took days to feel my shoulders again but then I found this excedcise and mannn do I feel between my shoulders now. Sore as hell too.
Jeff, thank you so much for this information. I've been thrashing my shoulders, trying to get 180 degrees of flexion out of them. I thought I was inadequate, but what you say, that we get only 160 degrees of flexion and the rest comes from our thoracic spine extension takes a lot of pressure off my shoulders. Whew. Keep up the great videos.
The elbows on the bench seems to be replicating what a nice Nautilus Pullover does on every rep. Nice to offer an alternative for those without access. It also reminded me of an effective pre-exhaustion technique for the lats: After placing the elbows into the position that you have demonstrated, back off from a full stretch by about 10-15 degrees ROM. Then begin by performing a 10 seconds gentle isometric contraction, then ramp it up to full contraction for about 60 seconds total. Then, while the lats are still screaming, do a lat pulldown or torso-arm pulldown to exhaustion. Because of the inherent nature of losing your grip strength (weakest muscle being used on the pulldown) while performing pulldowns to failure, the pre-exhaustion to the lats only that occurs with the elbow/bench isometric press (forearms and biceps are resting during this pre-exhaustion exercise) allows the forearms and biceps to temporarily become stronger than the lats. This means that in a maximum effort, the forearms and biceps will outlast the lats, thus making deeper inroads towards lat development! If you have a lat bar in your gym Jeff, maybe you could demonstrate this for your viewers emphasizing a transition of < 3 seconds since a muscle recovers up to 50% of its original strength in 3 seconds, which would make the lats the strongest link once again, which defeats the purpose.
Hey Jeff thanks for the advice you give us on your channel. It is really helpful. Could you do a video on a video on AB workouts for people with back injuries e.g Herniated disk injuries?
I do the first one a lot, but I like the hand position you said. I usually put them behind my head because I feel a lot of stress on my neck. I also like the second lat and thoracic stretch, I will try that today.
Great info...thanks Jeff! Would really like to see a video on the correct form for recognizing and engaging lats - especially when attempting a pull-up or lat-bar pulldown - and how to make sure the biceps are not the main muscles being used.
Thanks for the tips on using the foam roller. What I would really be interested in when it comes to the spine is specific excercises to overcome a light scoliosis.
great video, thanks for this! i am one of those who can only get to 165 degrees or so (cover my ear and then i start having to hyper extend my lumbar spine to get the bar over my foot) and I have been doing shoulder dis-locators religiously for a few weeks with no improvement. looking forward to giving this a try, all this time i was sure it was poor shoulder mobility but maybe it is yet another area where my mobility sucks.
It's a twitch.tv reference where some popular streamers who have never revealed their face. The joke is that you can obviously see Jeff so it's the irony of the whole statement of "Do a face reveal"
Nice work Jeff! If you get a chance, I'd like to see how to strengthen and/or condition peroneal tendonitis. I know you had the dorsiflexion video but would like to see how to improve the ankle strength with the peroneus longus. Thanks Jeff
I just had a PT show me to roll on the roller with my hands clasped behind my head but keep my elbows together; I told him I saw a video where a guy "hugged" himself with his arms across his chest but he told me to do it his way. Now I see this way and it seems like what I was told was wrong?! Problem for us who are seeking help is we could go to 15 different places and get told 15 different ways to do things, in hopes that we find someone who tells us the right way! I am going to try it this way and see how I feel.
Yey! I've did it right all the time with the Foamroller, without understanding exactly what I did (this), except that it felt really good for my spine.

Fantastic video, Jeff. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Consistently affecting all of our lives in a positive way.
I have had physiotherapy before now and been shown how to use the foam roller for tensions in the back caused by a dislodged rib from the sternum. I just watched this video and it showed a quite different technique As soon as I lowered my pelvis and rolled over the top of my back with arms up like shown in this video I seem to have dislodged something on the other side now too!!!! and am now in a LOT of pain.. I would not recommend trying any of these foam roller exercises unless shown by an actual physician especially if you are aware of an actual problem you are trying to solve. It is a risky business. I have had a problem with a dislodged rib ever since a rugby accident 7 years ago. It has never got better and I don't know if it ever will. I would not recommend trying this for yourself from just by watching a video. It is so easy to do more damage than good if you get the slightest movement wrong.
hey Jeff thanks a lot for this video. I've had a foam roller for a bit and never was sure if I was rollin right! could you possibly due a couple more videos relating to mobility? cheers mate and thanks again
Please upload a video on Hack Squats. Proper form, back placement and effectiveness for QUADS compared to other squats as I feel it isolates my Quads a lot more than other squats
great video!! my posture is not very good after 28 years of dentistry! i practice yoga daily and that is whats keeping me from worstening. there are a lot of postures that i cannot do because i cannot fully raise my hands 180 degrees over my head. i'm about 15 degrees shy. how do we know what is shoulder and what is thoracic restrictions? i know can see i have some forward head posture and thoracic issues. tight lats and pecs as you mentioned in your other videos. thanks.
Great stuff Geoff, keep it up. if you could do something on uneven shoulder muscle growth as my right front delt is much stronger (and bigger) then my left
i did hedge trimming for months and focused on shoulder strength to increase stamina. As soon as i started stretching lats i went from fatigueing in 5 minutes to being able to charge through a full day.
Expelling all the air from the lungs I think is very important in these techniques especially with the roller, but it's difficult because you need to do it in a way where you maximize stretch on the abs. I suspect that a person who is not kyphotic will not feel this no matter how deep they breath out.
This is the first stretch that has helped me feel like I can stand up straight without feeling like I am forcing my shoulders back, instant relief. Thank you!!!!
I love this guy. He actually seems really smart and not totally concerned with money. Get info and very consistent videos. Just hope you know you're doing everyone a really great service and you're changing people lives for the better even if just a little. Thanks dude you're appreciated
Thank you, I just did these two and feel 80% of my shoulder pain is gone!
another great video especially for someone who is lifting an object above their head as well as for one who sits at a desk
I've been doing roller exercises like this for years and it has helped. But lately had an issue that just wouldn't work out. Of course, Jeff knows just how to make it work best! You are a miracle worker!
Jeff on the bench stretch. I found that a band around elbows while holding a straight bar in both hands helps as well... Not 100% know why but know the stretch does increase without reaching to far back.
Just what i needed. I have chronic pain in that area due to years of bad posture. Thank u Jeff
i'm no bodybuilder but I just found out about Jeff/Athlean-X today. As someone determined to correct their posture, I have stretched my way through a few videos now and I really enjoy them. Thanks Jeff!
As a superhero in training, I can confirm that I never heard of thoracic mobility until now. Damn you, Jeff. Always 100 steps ahead of me.
+Heroic Concepts Jeff Cavalier. Just call him Goku.
I do the second stretch whilst holding a stick between your hands to separate them. makes a huge difference
Thank you for not only showing the exercises but the critical manner in which to perform the exercises! I have been foam rolling most of the time improperly while trying to target my thoracic spine. Now I know the proper method to make it effective. Knowledge is power! Truly thankful for your excellent tips & advice
I'm a NASM Certified trainer looking to work in corrective exercise. Love your stuff
AMAZING. This helped release tension in the neck as well.
Omg that stretch on the bench is incredible
Would love a video with a full stretchingroutine and another one with a full warming-up routine/dynamic stretches routine
You're literally the best youtube fitness guy. I've never even thought about getting a program but I think im going to buy yours.
Thank you Jeff you’re the man. You’re a legend with the amount of detail you give. Godfather of PT
do a full body mobility drill video
Anything relating to hip/shoulder labrums will be great. I have tears in both...
I've watched a lot of videos on this, but as always, Jeff does it best.
Hey Jeff, been watching these videos for years and I truly appreciate these no bullshit mobility videos. Keep doing the great work.
this video helped me tremendously. foam rolling used to make things even worse and now i realized how wrong ive been doing it
One of my favorite Athlean-X videos so far. Great work, Jeff!
How about gymnastics / yoga poses such as wheel pose? I know that stretches mostly the lumbar spine, but also the thoracic spine. Are poses such as wheel dangerous, in adult life, for those that have very high mobility (for instance former gymnasts)?
This videos about how to correct our posture are amazing and really helpful
I did this followed by a back workout and my back is so sore the next day. Game changer
In the first 3 minutes Jeff described 99% of the people in the gym who try to do foam rolling lol
Mario Tomic love you Maria turmeric
I hold the back of my head but I keep my elbows together
Your videos about the rounded shoulders, tilted pelvis, stretching your back are absolutely amazing. If you only you had a more specific programme of exercise to buy to fix those conditions (I have both)!!!

Yea I agree make a video for that ⬆️
yee
stretching after your workout is fine, just don't do it before or you'll be sorry.
mate i have been stretching before going to bed for about 3 months now, i started with 5 to 10 minute sessions now im doing 20 min stretching sessions and the results ive got are amazing. i focus on the hamstrings a lot and i am now able to do a toe touch, before i couldnt go past the knees. so my advice to you is stretch everyday before going to bed, you can do it also after workouts but never before, but if you are going to only stretch once, make it before bed. and also focus primarly on your tightest area.

Please cover Thoracic Outlet syndrome exercises. I love your videos! Thanks!
PLEASE MORE MOBILITY VIDEOS I LOVE IT
Great to see prone and supine T-Spine mobility exercises in the same video. Thanks Jeff!
Thanks Jeff, recently I have been putting my hands by my head when foam rolling but didn't realize I was blcking my thoracic from getting the full benefit. Thanks again man, keep up the good work!
Great info on arm/shoulder position while foam rolling the thoracic, not seen that mentioned elsewhere. Good stuff
YES! Stretching and mobility videos! This is a fantastic addition to an already fantastic channel. I would love to see more stuff like this, Jeff.
Please do a video on neck pain and exercises for pain relief and stiffness for no more cracking.
Jeff, "hits all the points"....God Bless.
love the video demoing the proper use of the roller
The goal when foam rolling the T-spine can be to increase extension. Also, sometimes (if you are protracting your scape enough), you will hear a "pop" or cavitation. This typically means that you had a facet joint or transverse process out of alignment. Unless you're a healthcare professional specifically looking for this dysfunction, don't try to recreate that pop. Stick with the basic mechanics of extension on the foam roller.
Great tip about stretching the lats
i tried this. so effective. thanks Jeff
Nice video. Really appreciate all the areas that you know that can help treat and better mobility throughout the body to help with exercises that may be difficult for some
I spent half of my day watching your videos
plz post a full body foam rolling safe routine .
I still want that triceps non-responder vid jeff! >:( you cant make me forget with all of this complex mumbo jumbo.
I agree, I can't fully contract my left tricep after a cervical spine injury, would love to hear a video about that
A lot of older but very fit women are following your channel. Could you please dedícate a few minutes to specifically address their unique issues?
Thanks a lot. I love the science behind each of your recommendations.
You really helped my upper back with stretches! Now I need good lower back stretch. Please do full body stretch video! Thank you!!

lumbar flexion is not bad for u unless you have a disc injury.
Ugh guys that second exercise is genius. My thoracic was FROZEN. I COULDNT SQUEEZE A MUSCLE IN MY UPPER BACK. Took days to feel my shoulders again but then I found this excedcise and mannn do I feel between my shoulders now. Sore as hell too.

Keep up the great videos.
Great thing for your core, it's very relieving...
Another key point to remember when using the foam roller for thoracic extension is not allowing your lumbar spine to arch.
nice stretch with the bench!!
The most valuable channel related to fitness. Thanks for all the info Jeff.

thanks coach you've taught me so much and helped me reach heights i never thought i could!
"That's exactly the opposite of what we need. We need to go backwards." - Jeff Cavalier, 2016
Jeff, any chance of a video on costochondritis
before this video title i was always like "what is a jurassic spine and why the hell do i have one?"
I do the first one a lot, but I like the hand position you said. I usually put them behind my head because I feel a lot of stress on my neck. I also like the second lat and thoracic stretch, I will try that today.
Great info...thanks Jeff! Would really like to see a video on the correct form for recognizing and engaging lats - especially when attempting a pull-up or lat-bar pulldown - and how to make sure the biceps are not the main muscles being used.
Yes I have been using the roller incorrectly--- Thanks!
Thanks for the tips on using the foam roller.
What I would really be interested in when it comes to the spine is specific excercises to overcome a light scoliosis.
wow i was just look up thorasic spine mobility when this vid pops up, thanks jeff!
great video, thanks for this! i am one of those who can only get to 165 degrees or so (cover my ear and then i start having to hyper extend my lumbar spine to get the bar over my foot) and I have been doing shoulder dis-locators religiously for a few weeks with no improvement. looking forward to giving this a try, all this time i was sure it was poor shoulder mobility but maybe it is yet another area where my mobility sucks.
Do a face reveal at 2milion subs.
OK
Thank you..
Face reveal...is this something dirty?
It's a twitch.tv reference where some popular streamers who have never revealed their face. The joke is that you can obviously see Jeff so it's the irony of the whole statement of "Do a face reveal"
Derptrollz no shit sherlock
NASMs SMR Thoracic Spine, is directly opposite of what you're saying haha. But your teachings, especially on stretching, is superior.
Man this worked like magic for me !!thank you jeff ! ❤️
Nice work Jeff! If you get a chance, I'd like to see how to strengthen and/or condition peroneal tendonitis. I know you had the dorsiflexion video but would like to see how to improve the ankle strength with the peroneus longus. Thanks Jeff

More high quality advice from Jeff. Keep it coming!
Yey!

Hi Jeff I really appreciate these videos. Much respect
hey Jeff thanks a lot for this video. I've had a foam roller for a bit and never was sure if I was rollin right! could you possibly due a couple more videos relating to mobility? cheers mate and thanks again
Ok, now I am buying your program.
Hey jeff, Can you please make a new updated meal plan for breakfast, lunch, supper, and snacks?
Please upload a video on Hack Squats. Proper form, back placement and effectiveness for QUADS compared to other squats as I feel it isolates my Quads a lot more than other squats
Another good practice for rolling the upper back, is to place your hands on your ears, and bring your elbows together so they touch.
Please do a video on intermittent fasting
Jeff, make a video about full body streach!
Definitely should add some flexibility/mobility to the AX program.
great video!! my posture is not very good after 28 years of dentistry! i practice yoga daily and that is whats keeping me from worstening. there are a lot of postures that i cannot do because i cannot fully raise my hands 180 degrees over my head. i'm about 15 degrees shy. how do we know what is shoulder and what is thoracic restrictions? i know can see i have some forward head posture and thoracic issues. tight lats and pecs as you mentioned in your other videos. thanks.
Great stuff Geoff, keep it up. if you could do something on uneven shoulder muscle growth as my right front delt is much stronger (and bigger) then my left
i did hedge trimming for months and focused on shoulder strength to increase stamina. As soon as i started stretching lats i went from fatigueing in 5 minutes to being able to charge through a full day.
increase mobility!!
Your videos are amazing!
Would love to see a video on strengthening wrist mobility for doing things like bridges.
he has one on the channel somewhere
Isaac Omlor yeah I found something thanks
Expelling all the air from the lungs I think is very important in these techniques especially with the roller, but it's difficult because you need to do it in a way where you maximize stretch on the abs. I suspect that a person who is not kyphotic will not feel this no matter how deep they breath out.
What would I do without you, Jeff!
Awesome I will try that technique with the foam roller!
Wow what a coincidence i just put my back out while over head pressing yesterday for this exact reason
