Thanks for the information!

[@UnityGymOnline]

You're welcome I hope it helped you

[@ernstlang1746]

Hi dude youre cool!
dont you have any knee stability issues since you work on these? I find they stress my knees a lot! Whats your experience? If youd like to chat sometimes about this let me know, I am a very interested physical therapist ;)
Greetings, keep it up !

[@UnityGymOnline]

Hey man, doesn't affect my knee stability at all. Why do you think it would?

[@ernstlang1746]

doesnt it overstretch the medioposterior knee capsule and ligaments? Glad to hear youre doing well :) @@UnityGymOnline

[@kai_xin1]

hi, my main issue is my hips. They are very stiff especially when it comes to rotation.
Even at a high elevated surface i can't keep my back straight. (mostly lower back)
It's kinda an annoying limitation, ruins a lot of stretches since i can't rotate my hips far enough.
I'm thinking it's a lack in the strenght department, what are your thoughts on this? Do you maybe know good exercises that can help with this?

[@UnityGymOnline]

I totally get where you're coming from with the stiffness in the hips and the challenges it presents in your stretches. You're spot on in suspecting that a lack of strength through the full range of motion could be part of the issue. Strength and flexibility go hand in hand, and working on one often improves the other.
That said, effective programming is crucial, and honestly, I can't provide the depth of guidance you need via TH-cam comments. This is where personal coaching really shines. With my UMS Tribe membership, you get tailored programs and the opportunity to work directly with me to address your specific limitations. Coaching offers the kind of targeted, nuanced advice that can make all the difference. 🏋‍♂🤸‍♂

[@emmaeIIe]

Tight lateral hamstrings prevent me to do this even seated on a chair.

[@UnityGymOnline]

I'm sorry to hear that. There's a lot you can do for if you follow a good program :)
