paul should stare less at the ipad, and realize he is allowing his client to jump AND land with a valgus collapse on both sides.. the number one cause of non-contact acl tears in athletes just another nba trainer training athletes to memorize patterns that lead to injury.. nba is LOADED with them
Really apreciate when Men's health brings trainers with real knowledge and zero bulls#!t, Who truly know what their athletes need to be on top of their game!!!
Harden is up there with LeBron as far as staying healthy every year. Now I see why. He focuses on the details that help him stay in the court! Thanks to men’s health for such great content!!!
greatest599 huh? He leads the league in FTA, you can say what ever you want about his baiting but you cant deny he is absorbing contacts in most of those plays.
Tried it today at the gym,even though I have good balance ,the workout was really challenging for my core ,and don't go heavy on the jumps ,looking back to it ,I should have used lighter wait and focus on quality more but overall great full body workout for athletes
This guy has such a fascinating job. I really envy him. And also anyone who has the privilege of training with such an expert. Imagine having that kind of professional attention being poured into making you better day in day out
Being PT specialized in Sports performance and Rehab, i can confirm that this guy knows his job and what he is saying. Great imagination, great work, keep it up buddy. Glad i find something in the internet about performance based on actual science and not mambo jambo.
allowing a valgus collapse on all movements, is not knowing what you are doing.. you are both deficient.. just being honest.. titles and working with "xyz" athlete/celeb means jack.. all the good ones know this

I do it many times already. It feels great. Glutes activated and Quads + mobility specially in the lower extremities . Cardio. Upper body strength and balance. Definitely can level up your game
I've been critical of Harden forever, but honestly only because he competes against my favorite players. He's objectively such a fuckin beast tho. So unstoppable. Such a simple game but so polished and so meticulous. I really try to model my own game after his own as a fellow lefty.
This is a great workout for James Harden, agreed. Nice job. But every athlete is different. You young guys need all this core work but need to add the progressive resistance strength training. Just like Paul said in the video. In 2003 I had Kobe lifting max efforts on game days and then going out and scoring 40 points. It was known as "The Streak", Feb 2003 with multiple games in a row of 40 points or more. Kobe's work in the weight room was insane.
You should warm up before you work out and stretch when your done; however you should never do static stretching before working out. Stretching is good, it increases your range of motion over time. However if you stretch before a workout you lengthen your muscles and putting them in a position that you don't normally have them in, this increases risk of injury and decreases your ability to preform exercises correctly immediately after stretching which messes with your muscle memory.
@@sydguitar99 If you think Harden deserved MVP, that's fine, but to say he got robbed is just flat out wrong. Giannis and Harden were both so dominant last year that I wouldn't have had a problem if either of them won it.
@@mtn7836 he's wrong. If they make a video about Giannis' workout, THEN you'l see the real MVP workout. Thankfully, Giannis didn't get robbed by a Volume shooter. Leads the league in turnovers and 3PA with .36% from 3. Sad

thatboy dre probably because a ring requires far more than 1 superstar. All a player can do is be the best version of themselves and see where it takes them. As Kobe says “control what you can control”.
JYP1M I can and do.... without the money. It’s not about the money, it’s about how great you wanna be. Everyday is a new grind, and whatever is done will add up to something else eventually
Richard Banger nah, I was just saying that what the original guy commented is incorrect. Anybody can try to be fit, but it’s about mentality and how much you actually want it.
paul really knows the science behind these workouts, no wonder James can double stepback with such balance!

Jake Devine Dude was literally overweight during the season last year or the year before. Not even close to Lebron
Yah he learned to be more detailed. Now he has to be more Intelligent, like lebron
He is also so durable. Dude is has never been injured as a Rocket. That's 7 years of 25ppg+ and high usage.
Not really that impressive(yet still impressive) he plays a very low impact style of play

This is next level workout. No wonder Harden just drives through everyone in the nba.

This is great content, learnt a lot :)
Harden has been competing for MVP for the last 5 years LOL
3:30 "Sit ASS low as you can" I heard what you did there...
You should warm up before you work out and stretch when your done; however you should never do static stretching before working out. Stretching is good, it increases your range of motion over time. However if you stretch before a workout you lengthen your muscles and putting them in a position that you don't normally have them in, this increases risk of injury and decreases your ability to preform exercises correctly immediately after stretching which messes with your muscle memory.

Why is Wesley Matthews doing the Harden workout?
I thought I invented the banded medball eurostep but I guess paul beat me to the punch
That "dynamic warmup" i do 20 years ago whit my soccer coach 😂😂 #LateLikePaycheck
This is gold
is inverted row better than a pullup/chinup?
It targets more rhomboids, traps, and rear delts, while pull ups focus more on lats. You should be doing both tho
this dude's a genius
Jokic doesn't care about all this crap😂
Chill..... 🤣
In the playoffs Jokic cuts back to just one pack of cigs

Correction at 0:19 "He's also competing for a Championship"
God bless you
Harden needs to get this guy back in the off season fr
What is your rationale that inverted rows are better to build biceps than bicep curls? Just want to understand!
That's how you build a MVP. Sadly James got robbed again by a dunker.

Please do more videos on training like a athlete, if you can please do a soccer workout
But where can i get those socks..??? Someone hit me with a link
So this is the trainer that was allowing Harden to eat Hot dogs in between workouts 😂
His trainer didn't even say he his competing for a ring he said a mvp
thatboy dre probably because a ring requires far more than 1 superstar. All a player can do is be the best version of themselves and see where it takes them. As Kobe says “control what you can control”.
It’s the mentality in Houston if you win 50 games and don’t do anything in the playoffs but your guy won the MVP everyone’s happy
I’m not gonna be surprised if a lot of James hardens start comin around now 😂
Harden deserves MVP
Please teach us how harden draw fouls.
SQUID! 🏀✊🏽
Can you make a IT workout?
At 9:50, what did he mean by turn the front knee out? As I can see his knee is at the same place all the time.
I think it's mainly a cue to help you keep your knee from turning in or collapsing which can cause some knee valgus problems.
damn this is awesome
Did u also trained him on his ”travel” step back?
Balance comes from those big *** shoes
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This trainer has got a hell of a lot of work to do now 😂 Harden wanna win this championship he gotta lose a couple pounds...
I mean he still gettin 30+ and a triple double ion see a problem 🤷
where's the drawling foul workout tho?
issa secret drill, the blueprint only can be found on area 51..
How much rest time for these
be honest what did y’all think abt when he said quad stretch with lean
How much does it cost to train with you?
Enough 😂😂
All that working out and Harden still got a "dad bod"
All about science, man
James harden has one if not the best trainer in this sports industry no wonder he’s the best offensive player in the game
