Dr. Goodman, pleaseee please please reupload your "12 minutes of founders training" video. I know you said that there is a lot more to founders training than that video, which I agree with. But that training session helped me with my pain so much, and I know I'm not the only one!

Please consider reuploading!


Thanks,
-Dom

Great to see some new videos from Dr Goodman. Embrace Foundation Training and you will get life-changing results.

I feel like Eric Goodman is a body mechanics genius and thinks of the best cues. He knows the right things to say to make you get into these crazy but effective positions.

Wow I can feel lengthening in my lower back when I let my hips lower as you prompted. Feels like it’s addressing a lot of things together that pt exercises etc have addressed in isolation.

[JoeBudd-D]

The only 2 trainers I recommend on YouTube are Eric Goodman and Jeff Cavalier from Athlean X. Foundation Training for pain and Athlean X for weights because it’s all based on physical therapy and biomechanics. They both are head and shoulders above all.

Why did you delete the video of lower back, It is very good!

[fysiologikwellness]

Excellent cueing. Brutal & simple🤘🏽

I'm an ex college soccer player, turned powerlifter, and now getting into calisthenics after some time off. This is one of the most difficult planks I've ever done. We used to 5+ min. planks for soccer for fun. But the cues and really focusing on each point of the body this way made me start shaking like I was doing this during an earthquake by the 5th set here. Absolutely fried my abdominals and trunk of my body. Amazing.

This is gold! Insane! Tough but feel like the results will be amazing.

I was so disappointed to log on today and discover that my favorite Foundation Training videos have been taken down: the short video with Brian and the longer, 12 minute or so video with Brian and the other guy. My husband and I did those videos frequently, and I have recommended those videos to other people with back pain as well. Please reconsider taking those videos down and re-post them to YouTube!

@Foundation Training: From Pain To Performance

Great excercise. Should I be feeling a pull in my lower back or should it be more in the middle to upper?
Thanks

[Olga-uhop]

Thanks for this great exercises! What work do the shoulder blades do when pushing the arms?

[LeonxLeon]

man this is a good one, it hits right where it should for me right now

[EVOQBIKE]

Amazed how difficult this is. So to clarify, you want to push all the 8 points into the ground? Having a hard time feeling “pushing the rib cage wide”. Any other way you explain that? Thank you!

“... think about how annoying my voice is becoming...” bursting out laughing !!!

[martintotland]

Hey dr. Goodman, why did you delete the 12 minute foundation training :( it made me pain free when cycling, what video would you recommend to cycling, this one?

[Timbelman]

Can I ask why you took down the "Powerful Posture and Pain Relief- 12 minutes of Foundation Training" video? I load that thing up all the time, was sad to see it is gone now.

[CoachPritch]

Thanks for posting these videos! Is it common to feel this mostly in my shoulders and neck? I guess my form is off, no issues with the low back...I’m feeling it in my arm pit area and shoulders

[jefflaine]
