  It feels illegal to have access to such a high quality video on YouTube for free, I appreciate it greatly!

  I have made almost zero progress on touching toes since I was sixteen... then just watching this video, relaxing my butt and letting my hips rotate got me a deeper stretch and closer to touching the ground than I have ever been in my life... IN LESS THAN A MINUTE WTFFFFF

  “I wasn’t naturally flexible” (shows what I’d be happy with as an After photo lol)

  "As an adult" is key here. You're never too old to get better!!

  As a physio therapy student it baffles me how I just learned more about flexibility, watching your &quot;mechanics&quot; videos and masterclass, than from the &quot;flexibility/movement classes&quot; that was spread out over 3 semesters, with a lot of the classes taught by teachers who definitely don&apos;t practise what they preach. So actually no, im not surprised. <br><br>These videos put a lot of thoughts together, that I couldn&apos;t quite piece together, even though i have trained ATG style for 5 years, researching, trained my way to palms to floor, almost front split, etc.<br><br>Crazy value! Would also enjoy lower production quality / unedited, long form content. <br>As a strength/flexibility/mobility coach for badminton players, it would be great to see/hear your coaching ques, trouble shooting, programming procedures, etc, live. <br><br>Will definitely join the Toolkit! Thanks a lot!

  I always notice a jump in quality in each new Mechanics video but this time the upgrade has been massive! Congrats to everyone behind this masterpiece 🙌

  Acrobat here - the measured approach in the mobility &amp; flexibility toolkit has been a game changer.<br>Knowing the theory behind stretching made all the difference in my practice sessions - going from &apos;trying to feel a stretch&apos; to objectively make progress is what got me to my first oversplits, even though I didn&apos;t have any gymnastics or flexibility-based background in my youth! <br>Thank you for making this educational content, Matt!

  The first discovery for me during stretching was that the more relaxed you are, the better the result.

  This video respects people’s time. You get right into it, keep everything extremely relevant, and stack information onto its foundation. This has definitely filled in some knowledge gaps for me. 🤲
