Hi Ali, excellently condensed content as usual- I like how you both introduce a posture myth but still give tips on our underlying motive (aesthetics). It would have been nice to explain the causative link / lack of between posture and health, and I found some of the explanations around muscle activation unintuitive (ie could it mean the exercise is more geared to another muscle group?). Thanks as always!
Sir this was one of the much needed videos for someone like me, because I have hunch back on my upper neck (khyphosis) and this bar exercise I'll definitely try. Also work on my glutes from here on. I am looking forward to learning more from you sir . Thanks 🙏🏽
About the grip streght benefits: There is a correlation between all those things (gripstrenght and aging, backstrenght etc). That does not mean that improving your grip strenght will improve all the things listed above. We don't have data about causation so we can not say anything about it based on the data. Also I think if there is a causation it probably is between overall muscle healt and grip strength and not the other way. So probably people who have high grip strenght have it because they are in good shape and they live longer because they are in good shape…
I know right! I’m surprised Ali as a medically trained person is recommending improving grip strength from observing correlations. You aren’t gonna improve your health by just improving a health marker. And improving grip strength improving health just sounds funny it could be used as a textbook example of correlation vs causation.
I love Ali's content; they are great, and in this video, he had goodwill, but the whole concept is a bit confusing. Thank you for writing this comment, it is super important. I Hope Ali can look at the video and consider re-recording it in a better way and more scientific base + bring some experts so we can have more validated data and reports. Again Thanks for the great content like always.
It's a really weird oversight and puts kind of the whole channel in a bad light, honestly. 7:24 onward is such a basic misunderstanding of correlation that he almost certainly doesn't actually believe (that improving grip strength necessarily would improve any of that other stuff). It's even a concept in Ali's other field of expertise, business, called Campbell's law -- optimizing for a metric makes the metric no longer useful. I don't get it. Edit: actually, it has to be an editing issue. Ali isn't claiming that grip strength (the immediately preceding topic) would lead to a stronger back/posture/etc, he's claiming that bar hangs would, which is what they talk about next.
@@dosiedoe are you saying what Ali says at 5:10 has underlying context that isn’t presented here? I agree with you that the video editing is a confusing mess. There are some sections that are careful about only mentioning correlations as correlations. Then there are a couple lines on how to improve it which is just confusing.
Hallo Ali, you motivated me to start my very own TH-cam channel and ever since I have started a month ago, I have fallen in love with the entire process, brainstorming the video, scripting, filming, editing and just generally talking to a cameram thank you for being the best inspiration 👍🏼🤸
I have bipolar disorder. I saw the video, and I tried out an exercise from the video almost every day. Now, I feel more confident about myself because I gave myself a title 'A person who does exercise'. I also felt a very euphoric feeling as I did an exercise while looking into the mirror one day, thinking that I feel very valuable, and I am doing so well these days. This video and the exercising brought me so much joy. Thank you, Ali.
There is something magical about you ali. I as a doctor, find your videos at the right time recommended by TH-cam when I actually need that topic discussed, I mean you are some how so perfectly timing your videos for me
As one of my go-to productivity guru’s, I’m glad to see you sharing strategies to address the physical stress of new-tubers/office entrepreneurs! Also, love those poke-ball socks!
As a physio for me!! I’m totally in the Pain and posture are very poorly correlated camp! and hence it’s massively over cooked… your next posture is for sure your best posture! ❤
please make a video of the most productive exercise routine (minimalist) with Jeff Nippard and Dr. Mike israetel and others! You're the only one who can combine the best of the best in every subject :D
Hello! When it comes to posture, have you considered how important breathing is? In many cases, poor posture happens because the body is trying to find the most efficient way to breathe. We breathe around 24,000 times a day, and no matter what exercises we do to improve our posture, it won’t make a big difference if we don’t learn to breathe with our diaphragm. It’s not just about belly breathing-it’s a whole-body movement. Breathing truly involves the entire body.
@@manmeet_kaur2010 Conor Harris has a lot of great content on this topic. I’ve practiced and integrated some of his insights into the classes I teach and in my own life. While I’m not affiliated with his channel, I do believe he’s one of the best therapists when it comes to understanding and improving posture, as well as why we develop poor posture in the first place.
And it's indeed his problem, he has forward head posture from breathing issues, also i can see it from how his face has developed, and his receding lower jaw. As a doctor he is, he should get that sorted.
Ali, you mentioned Hebb's law in a video I believe on Think Media... I've searched your channel and can't find any video's on this. Google searched as well. Would you please consider making a video about this and how to apply it to everyday life. Love your channel so much! Thanks
Really needed video as majority of people struggle with it, but don't even notice it due to it 'not being as severe'. Posture has been shown to influence pretty much every part of you, from outside to inside and everyone can benefit from correcting it. Glad that you mentioned lower back problems and not just the 'nerd neck' part because it is equally important as everything alligns and adapts together after all.
Everything in short is have three parts these are 1) the posture myth there are two posture standing and sitting. ''the next posture you're in is the best one'' 2) there is no single correct posture. 3) you should adopt more comfortable postures. 4) the spine is robust and can be trusted. Changing positions can be helpful small adjustment every 15-20 min Is good. Staying in one position is painful can actually worse lower back pain cause you are not able to relax you're muscles. There are 3 exercise to improve our posture. 1) Grip and upper body by using hand dynamometer( measure grip strength). 2) glutes. 3) deltoIds
Posture is highly misunderstood. It’s got nothing to do with ‘standing/sitting’ up straight. Rather, posture is a snapshot in time that gives clues as to the functioning of your musculoskeletal system. If there is dysfunction it will result in compensatory patterns that are observable in positions like standing and sitting or movements like your gait pattern - e.g. a dysfunctional right hip may elevate and shift weight baring to the left side, which then has to adapt to deal with the increased workload. The musculoskeletal system is designed to be balanced left to right and front to back. The load baring joints of the ankles, knees, hips and shoulders should be horizontally and vertically aligned. The head should sit atop a neutrally aligned spine. Posture isn’t good or bad, it’s data. When you know what the data is and what it means a whole new world is available to you.

Two months ago since I read your book, and any other had that impact in my life as the yours, now a see the life in another perspective, so grateful with you Ali ❤
Strenghth training for all body muscles equally leads to ur best posture. I add stretches too, to avoid injuries, and my chest mucles are more dmoninant so to relax them out with the delt stretches
Hey Ali, I really enjoy and appreciate all the content you have been posting and all the recommendations you have been giving. However, as a long time follower I miss when you used to do tech reviews and give useful information on which ones to get to satisfy our own needs. I really hope you can do those again.
Crossover symmetry has exercises that expand on what was suggested here. Also squats and straight-leg deadlifts will help strengthen glutes. Having a quad-glute imbalance is common for cyclists, especially at the start of the season. So I was dealing with a lot of this lower back pain for the past month. Wasn’t spending enough time in the weight room! Bridges seem to have cured the issue mostly.
"I enjoy all of your videos and have been watching them. I would love for you to add Hindi audio tracks to all your TH-cam videos. I've already watched the ones with Hindi audio, and I really liked them. Your content is always so engaging and well-made. Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into creating these amazing videos for us, Ali Abdaal Sir!"
14:41 "There's no perfect posture" ...but I came here because of the title that says exactly the opposite 😂 Anyways amazing vid, had a lot of anxiety regarding my posture and quite a few myths were cleared. Thanks.
Hello Ali, it would be great if you could create a video about improving neck posture. I have poor neck posture and have watched many videos, but I'm still unsure how to correct it. Please consider addressing this topic.
Genial, me gusta bastante tu video, los ejercicios se alejan bastantes de los tradicionales para mejorar mi postura. Me sorprendió que no existe una postura ideal. Gracias

I've also found since I started breathing techniques, that my chest has opened up a bit and the top of my back muscles and neck muscles aren't as tight or in discomfort.
Great video for overall strength. But I’m skeptical for the correlation Ali showed about grip strength and health. I think it could’ve gone the other way around as well; we can’t be sure about the causation and result just by seeing at the correlation.
As a physio, the best posture is the next posture. If you want to debate this im happy to point you to the research which finds limited correlation between pain and posture. Just keep moving.😊
For the face pull exercise, can it be replaced with rows or modified rows? Would be really cool because I have the equipment for rows, but not face pull at home
There's a book called Hidden Time Wealth, and it talks about how using some secret techniques, you can overcome procrastination and accomplish anything in life. It's not just a bunch of empty promises; it's the real deal.
I think there should be a feature which lets you set the language for a TH-cam channel and videos from the TH-cam channel will always be shown from that language I speak Hindi but I don't want to listen this video in Hindi
