      When I try stretching the hamstring, the 1st place l feel it is in my calf, can't get to the hamstring area?

    I’ve only been doing this for like a few weeks (I think you posted a full video about this a bit ago) and the pain on my back has gone away A LOT. All throughout college I rarely focused on exercises like this. Now that I graduated I realize how important this and other foundation/corrective exercises are through your channel!

      Yeah all these videos are useless if you’re actually inflexible. Even when they say they started off “super inflexible”, it’s invariably more flexible than I am now.

    • @jahimuddin2306
      @jahimuddin2306 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      If you have to bend your back then you can. If you can feel the muscle stretching then it is working. Once that no longer works, you are flexible enough to do this.

    @WanderTheNomad 2 ปีที่แล้ว +21

    It's like the muscles in the back are connected directly to them hamstring and you're pulling the back muscles taut to get a better stretch in your hamstring.

    • @joatanpereira4272
      @joatanpereira4272 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Your hamstring starts in the sit bone (ischial tuberosity), so by arching your back (a.k.a anterior pelvic tilt), you already stretch out the hamstring, allowing for a greater stretch in the final position.

    Last week I figured out why my hamstrings were so tight despite touching my toes all the time, and this video illustrates it perfectly! Thanks for posting!
    Ps: I can already feel the benefits of this far deeper hamstring stretch - years of built up tension is finally being released!!

  • @Pneuma777
    @Pneuma777 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

    It's also worth noting that while you sit, if you tilt your pelvic bone forward (normally rotated backwards w/ lower back rounding), you engage the hamstrings, allow the spine to rest in a neutral position thus less strain on lower back and engages the core/full kinetic chain up to the head. This along with proper stretching as you've shown here has reversed years of sitting with a few months of consistent effort.

Another exercise Im doing is a deficit Landmine RDL, max 1/2 body weight on the bar, built it up standing on smaller plates but now standing on 2 bumper plates so probably 5ish inches off the floor, totally fried the hams last week (in a good way) and didnt feel it in the back. objective is just having some strength and end ROM. Anything to watch out for? most videos I see most people only do 1 inch or so deficits

    Love this! This is helping me a lot!
    Another good stretch that helped me: grab a towel or a shirt or some cloth, get into a squat and clench the towel at the crease where your legs meet your hips, so that the towel stays. Now put your hands on the floor and slowly try to straighten your legs without dropping the towel.
    Because you are already bent at your waist, you can now focus more on the stretch with your legs.

  • @davidwayne9982
    @davidwayne9982 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    This is the EASIEST to fix... in about 5 minutes. Sit on floor- legs spread and lean forward- to comfort zone only.. then use the muscles of the leg youre leaning toward to PULL DOWN like you're forcing that leg into the flloor. Relax and repeat and you'll go lower almost immediately.. on other muscles- FLEX while in the stretch and it will make the stretch capability increase geometrically!!! I'm 68 and have been mashed between 2 trucks in 99 and can stand and put my PALMS on the floor in front of my toes...

My gymnastics coaches, my cheer coaches, my dance team leads. This move with a flat back, and, a flat back, period, are a major part of dancing. Ive been doing this wrong for 20 years. Ive been doing the moves wrong on stage professionally for 7. Wondered why my back never looked like the other girls. Gonna spend the rest of 2023 trying to fix it.
