@@MovementbyDavid It seems like squat & seiza positions are different from reverse nordic / couch stretch. (Citation: I can do rev. nordic but can't sit on my heels)
Really? I'm surprised an interesting, because I just wrote a comment saying that this sounds like it would be very bad for someone with arthritis or older knees. Maybe I'll give it a try
I need a compilation of these exercises and stretches for all the different body parts in one video that I can just watch every day because for some reason now that I’ve found you I don’t trust any other work out channel lol and too lazy to find them
@@girlwithafaceprobably I gotchu homie. I can only really stand to watch chill exercise videos like these. David and Hampton (HC) are the best, but I should probably actually practice what they teach me more often lol.
I have recently gone through some serious, yet mysterious, health conditions. I went from a relatively healthy 40 year old, to someone who would qualify for disability due to my body suddenly breaking down piece by piece (especially my legs feet and knees). Your videos are helping me try to win back my own body. Your amazing, and I truly do hope you know that your doing so much good for our world. At the very least, for my world. Thank you, so much. Sending all the peace and love out to you and your wife and baby ✌️ 💛✨️
Anyone else going through this please try out acupuncture. I swear it fixed all my back and leg pain issues within a few weeks doing two sessions per week. Make sure theyre certified
I’m here because all of a sudden, after zero history of joint issues, my 29 year old knees are acting up. I was taught to never put knees past the toes! Gonna try this now
Great videos! Thank you for making things easy to understand. I've been exercising for the past 27 years and grew up playing sports. Now that I'm older I find my flexibility lacking and your videos have been helping with key problem areas.
My knees have gotten pretty bad with general living and a skateboarding incident, and it freaks me out like crazy since I am only 26 and don't want to need surgery. Going to try this!
This has genuinely helped me, I be suffered multiple knee injuries including tears and sprain of the plates and tendons, this has finally helped build back some of the stability I had, you are an absolute G
I love your videos. I have some minor problems with my legs and joints that started to affect my life (I started rock climbing unprofessionally). Recently I've started paying more attention to my warm-ups and stretching and around that time your videos started being suggested. Apartment friendly, easy to try and actually helpful.
Watching your videos and then trying some of the things you do. Holy cannoli you’re strong dude. I’ve seen you’re videos on how you train functional strength not looking swoll strength but still you’re insane my dude keep it up and thanks for teaching all of us! Stay flexy brotha!
I love your content. Especially enjoyable while studying for NASM because you occasionally drop names for body parts I'm still trying to memorize! Thank you!
I'm actually pretty young and my knees are already weak, I'm 20. And I thought I should just avoid activity with them... but im pretty sure that'll just lead to more knee problems down the line, so this is pretty awesome
My last x-ray showed my kneecaps riding outside of the little Groove. Doc says I'm going to need knee replacements. Suggested building my quads to keep my kneecaps pulled into the groove where they're supposed to be. So far haven't found a single exercise that doesn't make my knees hurt. Going to try these now!
Thank you! When I’m doing a deep squat my heels can’t touch the ground; and as you said that is because of weak knees, I’ll def use this along with my other stretches and see how I’ll do!
As a 26 year old who has osteoarthritis in my left knee this scares the fk outta me but also is very intriguing 🤔 I'd like to strengthen my knee so it's not in so much pain 😅
These are so hard to do right but I am determined Iv recently started training after years off with injury and I’m approaching training from a whole new perspective that of one of maximum flexibility aswell as strength and muscle size
Hi David! I really like your videos, and I know that these are shorts, but it would be good to have some guidance around who can do the exercises. For example, my knees used to hurt, it got better with exercise and I can do squats with 30kg without pain, I think this exercise might be suitable for me now. Maybe it would not have been in theboast
@@KennethCarl03 if you’re under 40 years old look at meniscal transplant surgery using donor tissue if you’re above 40 you might want a total or partial joint replacement
thanks for the vids, been divesting from tik tok but youtube is worse in many ways 😂, like others have said it’s refreshing to feel connected to what i consume, i got to stretch today and utilized some of the ankle ones! my lower joints are weak and my knees especially hyperextend/dislocate so i’m eager to strengthen (SAFELY and with compassionate tenderness to my needs and abilities i promise and discuss w my doctor lol)
Hi David, I suffered a complete patellar tendon tear 5 weeks ago. Shortly after I discovered your content and you’ve inspired me, I am so looking forward to recovering from what has been the most severe injury of my life. I have never stretched regularly or reliably in my life, though have always been one of the most flexible men I’ve met. I’m afraid for how much of a loss I’ll suffer in my impacted knee, but I want to regain what I lose and also strength the other leg to be sure I don’t have to go through this again. Not really a question, but just wanted to see if you had any advice and to let you know your videos have been awesome and inspiring to watch!
i just had surgery on my knee three months ago cuz i tore my MPFL when my knee dislocated playing tennis. i won’t be able to play tennis again for another three months but the doctor said i’ll probably have to work on strengthening my legs and knees for the rest of my life if i wanna continue to be active and play tennis. i’m not sure if i could do something like that yet since my leg is still pretty weak and i don’t have full range of motion yet, but i’ll keep your videos in mind for exercises to do in the future when my knee feels better
I fractured my knee cap on September 2022. I'm still recovering but I can walk normally, however I have difficulty getting on a squat. I will try this exercise to strengthen my tendons.
It's crazy how I was always told that stressing your joints is bad and they'll hurt and now I'm learning that's not necessarily the case
i mean of course if you go do this as 700 pounds obese you might aswell donate your kneecaps
@@oreos2653 nah that's just super strong knees super fast lol
i mean both technically arent "wrong" per say.
😊 I was told similar

Of course you shouldn’t try to twist your knee across the vertical axis, but i don’t know why it would cause pain otherwise
I love your videos! You are so refreshingly different frm other ppl on youtube! Thank you
You are welcome here!

I did the “double hard” stretch and it instantly cured the knee pain I’ve been experiencing for weeks now. Thank you kind sir.
You deserve more subs. Thank you for the great videos! Just what I needed.
They will come. Don’t worry
Love it
Stronger happier knees
Love that you mentioned the patella tendons!

Mann much respect lol! So genuine < 3
Dude your videos are awesome. Would love to see a longer form series on squatting with heels on the ground

Do you still recommend for people with patellar tendonitis? I've personally been having issues and I've already tried a lot of different exercises
I love all your videos man
Thank you so much

if you don't use it you'll lose it

atm I can't even do squats because of my knees so I really appreciate this, looking forward to having better knees > better legs
This format is just so much more engaging than a 10-20 video with someone doing a loooot of talking. And it feels less like physical therapy.
I remember laying on my knees like that as a kid and asking if others could do it i felt so special lol
Im just coming off a knee and an ankle injury and though i can run and jump and everything im still stiff in that knee. We're getting there tho 🥲
It's been a year since my knee surgery. I am ready to do these and make sure I don't reinjure them
You're amazingly cool!!
Gonna try this as an extra for the gym everyday
please include nutrition for knees next short, thanks
Bro , tips to cure knee pain
As a 26 year old who has osteoarthritis in my left knee this scares the fk outta me but also is very intriguing 🤔 I'd like to strengthen my knee so it's not in so much pain 😅
when i tell you my knee pain got relieved by so so much by just doing this one time.. holy shit
I’m 15 and i play football but recently I haven’t been able to do difficult knee movements due to osgood schattler
🔥🔥🔥
That holding for 30sec is like nerve cracking 😢😢
For me who has never been into physical activity and totally stiff body 🤔🤔🥺😭
These are so hard to do right but I am determined Iv recently started training after years off with injury and I’m approaching training from a whole new perspective that of one of maximum flexibility aswell as strength and muscle size
I sit on my knees all the time im playing games, eating or watching something
So it's now easy for me to do all of them
Hi David! I really like your videos, and I know that these are shorts, but it would be good to have some guidance around who can do the exercises. For example, my knees used to hurt, it got better with exercise and I can do squats with 30kg without pain, I think this exercise might be suitable for me now. Maybe it would not have been in theboast
Imma try this, i randomly had my knees hurt while even just walking. Hoping this will help!
Just did these and wow it feels awesome, already feel my knees strengthening 🦿
The only reason I watch is to see what's in the frig...lol...good job!
that "double hard" stretch is literally how I lay down sometimes for comfort. People get freaked out by it. I guess I've got some flexy knees
I'm only on my second set of assisted sissy squats and its BRUTAL
Can you do this with a healed ripped meniscus
Absolutely. But use your body as a compass. Do NOT work through pain.
@@MovementbyDavid what if I don't have a meniscus in my right knee?
@@KennethCarl03 if you’re under 40 years old look at meniscal transplant surgery using donor tissue if you’re above 40 you might want a total or partial joint replacement
I have a fused ankle but this is good, will allow me to put weight through knees well them being over toes, might need my ankle brace on though
thanks for the vids, been divesting from tik tok but youtube is worse in many ways 😂, like others have said it’s refreshing to feel connected to what i consume, i got to stretch today and utilized some of the ankle ones! my lower joints are weak and my knees especially hyperextend/dislocate so i’m eager to strengthen (SAFELY and with compassionate tenderness to my needs and abilities i promise and discuss w my doctor lol)
Can you make a big recap video with every set we can do?
Gonna try this one. My right knee is a jerk.
