Strengthen Your Joints

I'm a big believer in strengthening all parts of our functional range-of-motion.

Including these "stretch variations" after your strength workouts can be an awesome addition to your long-term fitness and joint health.

These are often avoided because they underload the muscles and overload our joints. This is exactly the reason most of us SHOULD train them. We're only as strong as our weakest link

(Training progressively, meaning we don't do a harder exercise than we are able).

I want to repeat - you can do these AFTER your workout if you wish. You don't have to replace your current exercises. I say this because we're often able to put less weight on these. This can be discouraging if you watch your weighted squat for from, say, 250 to 150.

It's fine to follow your heavy squat set with assisted squats if that's what you need to do. Your body will thank you for it!

For short videos, sometimes I consider omitting the "have a beautiful day." It's not my intention to run the phrase into the ground or make it meaningless. But sometimes people complain if I leave it out haha.

Deadhangs are my favorite exercise—nothing feels better after being stuck at a desk at work all day.

Thank you, I really needed this. Everytime after a workout it’s not my muscles that give out but my joints. This’ll really help.

I've been wanting to implement stretching into my workouts but already feel like the workout takes more time than I'd like. This is a great way to sprinkle some stretches into my workouts and you did such a good job of keeping it short and to the point. Thank you very much

Good to see you my friend. It's okay to skip the "Have a Beautiful Day ", but it makes my day better. Thanks for the motivation and knowledge my friend.

Idk why you would need to strengthen your joints but just put some live resin or rosin on the outside roll a 2nd paper around them should work

Thank you Hampton. Muscles are the weakest but the quickest to grow, ligaments are stronger but take longer to develop. It is worth the time though. Strengthen those joints!

Hampton is so influential, YouTube has named a category of video after his lower body garment.

[GMRUNLSHD]

Now that you posted, I will have a beautiful day

[scastellanos]

I didn't know elbows could be that flexible.

[BoredomBee]

My knees have started sounding like the noise of crumpling tin foil whenever I walk up the stairs. I'm twenty-seven.

I gotta start working out and stretching more. This man looks like he's just breezing through these difficult things, it's really incredible and inspiring!
