It’s honestly one of the best and most dynamic exercises for the scapula (shoulder blades) one can perform.
This should be felt in the musculature of the upper back BIG time.
These upper back muscles are commonly weak in people that have poor posture so performing this can improve posture.
This is also just a great warm up drill and something that can be done everyday to keep your shoulders healthy and strong.
Try it out!
Backwards walking on a treadmill like this (I usually do 5-10 min) can be a game changer for a lot of people.
This works your quads and anterior chain in a very low risk way.
It’s help improve end range knee extension (knee straightening) and helps to stabilize the knee while helping to promote nutrient rich blood flow to the knees.
I like to end my workouts with this or incorporate it into a warm up before I train legs.
When I get injured tSometimes things happen and some injuries are unavoidable.
When I get injured these are critical components to my personal recovery protocol.
The idea is to use BFR bands to increase myogenic stem cells and growth hormone into my general circulation.
I then use either a red light LED, red laser, PEMF device, or simply alternate warm/cold on the area in an attempt to “guide” blood flow to the tissues that need it.
There are many other benefits to these technologies, but I won’t go into them today (will probably make more content on them individually).
The BFR cuffs I use are from edge mobility.
The red LED is use is called a tendlite which is available on Amazon.
The PEMF device is an A9 model from micro pulse.hese are critical components to my personal recovery protocol.

I’ll do this either as a part of my neuromuscular warm up PRE workout or I’ll do it in the middle of my workout while I’m “resting”
Give it a shot and let me know how you like it!
Usually around times of high stress or hard training.
Magnesium is a mineral that the majority of people are deficient in.
Instead of supplementing with it…it’s also possible to absorb it thru the skin making Epsom salt baths a viable way to raise magnesium levels.
The warm, magnesium rich water is also a great way to activate the parasympathetic branch (feed or breed mode) of the nervous system.
If your goal is weight loss, muscle building, or addressing some larger issue…stress mitigation is VERY important.
Calmness is the cradle of power 🗡
This can cause movement pattern compensations in your squats, low back issues, shut down glutes, and other things…
This simple little drill can be a game changer for this.
Hold the position with a neutral spine for at least 30 sec!
They not only help to maintain joint mobility, but they optimize your neuromuscular control around that joint too.
Range of motion is useless to you (even dangerous) if you lack the motor control needed to safely move that joint into a deep range of motion.
I’ve shown variations of this before. This one is a bit easier due to the stability of kneeling the the floor.
Try it out! Do at least 10 full reps each hip!
-
The exercises in todays video help correct forward head posture.
-
They are shown easiest to hardest.
-
DO NOT attempt the more advanced variations until at least 2 weeks of doing the easier exercises.
-
Here’s some specific stuff to keep in mind.
-
1) Chin tucks. Hold these isometrically (no motion involved). These are the easiest of the 3 versions.
-
2) Banded cervical retractions. These involve more motion, but the idea is the same. Keep the tongue in the rough of the mouth and push the head back flattening the neck.
-
3) Neck plank. These are the hardest and you must have a lot of strength just to do them. Hold isometrically keeping just the back of the head on the ball and also keeping the neck as straight as possible.
-
If the ball pushes your head into forward flexion towards your chest then you are not strong enough to do it yet!
