  Great video quality, the presenter? Meh! HAHA In all seriousness, this was beyond a huge honor and one of the single greatest experiences of my life (you'll see just how true that is in the opening conversation of the pod). THANK YOU for having me on, this is an incredible opportunity and surreal that I got to give back to the channel/company I've learned so so so much from for YEARS now. I really hope this on other videos helps people. Cheers!

  Fantastic information. I use to think I was the most immobile person in the world. Marv has gotten me to make wild improvements. Dudes legit.

  Nice to see these explained. I've been doing these plus several other movements every morning for the several years now and they do work! I do a version of everything mentioned and I added reverse hypers, landmine hack squats on toes, overhead single arm rotations and rotator cuff pumps along with some isometrics (yielding and overcoming) for the morning. Before my evening training I added a modified McGill big 3 as a warm up with bands and small weights and I'm good to go. This has helped my plantar fasciitis, corrected hip problems and corrected shoulder mobility as well as helped me recover from a torn rotator cuff. I can say from experience these movements strengthen tendons, help recover connective tissue and aid in overall recovery. I'm 50 and still can deadlift and squat over 500 and bench 350 comfortably. There is a lot to be said by these simple movements. Like he said, you don't really need special equipment for them so there really is no excuse why you shouldn't do them.

  Can attest to each one of this drills Dr. Marv is highlighting and the MAJOR impact they all have in helping train pain free (which of course in turn has made my numbers for my lifts go up AND grow more optimally too). Great video and info as always Dr. Marv!

  This isn’t just for 500 pound benchers. It’s a good starting point for everyone who is chronically hurt!

  The GOAT. Dr. Marv is basically an encyclopedia at this point.

  Spot on as always, Dr. Marv. This is the exact kind of high-yield, big-bang-for-your-buck knowledge I've come to expect from you. I incorporate all four of these daily—the lacrosse ball foot work, 90/90s, thoracic extension over the foam roller, and TYWs—and they are absolute game-changers for movement quality and joint health. Huge congrats on the elitefts channel and the upcoming Table Talk appearance; well-deserved!
