yeaaa... improvising (no dedicated bench) always made my size 50 feet point backwards; seeing what that does to even world-record holder is very eye-opening... i guess ill have to find a workaround for that; oh and the "looking for connection" and "gently touching rep" parts are brilliant too... cheers
I was about to ask why not progress, without bands, from a much more limited range of motion, with 2 inch or 2 degree range increase after 5 or 6 reps. Your final observation made it clear: strength gains over full ROM while still in the early stages.
I think a few degrees is fine. You have to be super strong to do this with full extension and keep it strict. It's something to work toward but not necessary.
I learned quite a bit of new information watching this video. Thank you so much.
perfect timing I just started nordics last week!
Been doing them for 2.5 years straight I can do 7 reps now. Took me 1.5 years to get my first rep. Be patient and don’t give up.

When you take the feet out of this it gets way harder. And less functional. Thanks for the kind words!
Saved to my mobility playlist. Gold stuff. Thank you both
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you very much
I was doing it really wrong for past 3 days but today you made a video to tell me how to do it right 👍
Glad I could help. I live to serve

Wow. I learned a lot from this one. I already use bands but technic and the pads are priceless.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!

We tried to cover it all in this one. Glad you enjoyed.
Thanks
How much unlocking of the hip is acceptable? I’ve been trying to do these with the hips fully locked out.

@@thebarefootsprinter thanks. That’ll put me only inches away from the eccentric portion. Popping back up will be the next challenge.
Thanks for the video, I do Nordics today! Do you find value in working a maximally slow eccentric Nordic, in addition to the gentle chest touch goal?
There is a huge change in resistance as your angle increases - hard to control , use caution.
I only do eccentrics If I'm lowering to an elevated height. It's hard to keep it steady the whole time so I break it up into chunks.
I was wondering why I was seeing so little progress. Duh ! I've been doing them wrong all this time !
you guys wear the sht outta those shorts
Gotta keep it real....ly tight.
