How much spine movement do you get in your weekly training?

Nahhhh that swagger is from Africa. 💪🏽✊🏿 we just cool like that. But carry on… great video as always.
I’m so glad you did this video. Young spine = gouda
Really great video! Thank you brothers!🤙
Pure genius – love this!
How about butterfly stroke when swimming (without arms) which I always alternate with front crawl when swimming laps…
I am 34 years old, 6.5 and about 260lbs. Struggled with back pain for about 5 years in my late 20's. When I started training my core, glutes and incorporated spinal movements into my workouts, the improvements were ridiculous. From severely pinching a nerve 8-10 times a year, I went down to 0. Even for heavy big dudes like me,this is something essential which should be emphasized and taught more nowadays. Especially with most of us sitting in front of a desk all day. Keeping the spine straight, using a standing desk and so on won't bring the improvements many of us are looking for.
So thanks for this video! As informative and professional as always.
How about Bulgarian bag swings?
regarding your merch suggestion, maybe some short short spandex? It would show off your legs. and your. butt after all, that is part of the reason for getting in shape, isn't it, to get appreciated aesthetically by others? 0:06
I should've watched this when it came out now my spine is wounded 😢😅
little emancipator at the end 👌
❣️💖💙♥️☀️❤️💜🤍😇
Damn your jumpshot is smooooth!
What with hula hoop??
Hmmm gotta try that….
Can’t wait to read the book and super awesome that you are sharing it for free! Ido Portal was my inspiration for movement training and ultimately what led me to finding the strength side channel.
💜 Love this one. I swear every time I am working on healing an injury, you guys make a video on the same subject. I am really learning a lot from your content and putting it into action. Love my new rope set for rope flow. It felt so natural immediately, like where has this practice been all my life. Keep up the amazing videos! 🤸🏽♀️
I have Herrington rods running the length of my thoracic spine from a scoliosis fusion 18 years ago. Any suggestions on how to keep a flexible spine when 75% of my spine is completely rigid?
I’m a worm… be the worm!
I don't know where you guys are at, but I wish I did, and that I was close enough to come train!
Man this shit in the vid is interesting
Really good video
Sparring mudras
I find adding recreational kick boxing to my regular fitness regime helps with spine rotation : )
Unfortunelly for Spain I couldn't purchase the ebook
Congrats on publishing a book Josh! reading in while working the squat position now!
Great Video as always . Thanks for sharing . I went straight to the Kindle App and put the book in my reading list.
Good stuff , keep up the good work your amazing
"Bro, I'm telling you my spien is bulletproof, shoot me, shoot me god damn it, lets goooo"
Impressive. Would really appreciate seeing even more regressions appropriate for those rehabbing a herniated disc, to desensitize the fear of movement. The first thing docs will tell patients is, "No bending, twisting reaching," 🙄
I've never really thought of training my spine and it really makes sense. Some of the exercises you demonstrated , I do already….it didn't occur to me as spine exercises. You guys are very inspirational!
I’m a fitness trainer, Thank you for this video!
Great video Josh and congrats on your book! Where’d you get your rope?
I wonder if that’s why speed walkers exaggerate their movement
There seems to be a bit of disconnect between those advocating for hip hinging and for spinal movement and flexibiltiy (not you guys!), where only one option exists. Both need to happen. And being flexible through a system doesn’t have to mean it is not a controlled movement. Goal is to be BOTH strong and flexible through all ranges of motion! Great vid!
The spinal wave motion reminded me of a rare form of taichi I heard about many years ago called snake taichi. A quick search and this is looks like something like it …

As a person who was not very physically active until my teenage years, I noticed that despite of years of weight training the first time I really started to become athletic was when I picked up boxing.
Now watching this video I realised how much spinal movement is involved in martial arts. I would really suggest starting to train that for overall fitness. You train cardio, coordination, reaction, mobility at a high intensity at the same time.
Not sure about the Dead Bug because it’s such an easy movement
💪
You’re going to cure me. I started doing dead hangs (currently only doing it with my feet flat). I instantly got a fever the day after. Many will think it’s crazy. But that’s me healing. In the past, when I used to do cupping, I would get a fever. When I would do a good dry needling session, I would get a fever. A good adjustment = fever. Now stretching in places that I am stiff in and is prohibiting me from becoming my full potential, I got a fever. Before I started ANY treatment (I didn’t get sick for almost 6 years). Now that my body is releasing toxins, I am getting a low grade fever. My regenerative medicine doctor tells me this is great. I have also met people with the same conditions and they have said they noticed the same change.
Thank you for the time and effort
I got rid of my lower back pain by doing these movements PLUS hip mobility exercises, don’t neglect the hips😊
Tim Anderson's: Original Strength. Rocking and rolling.
Mark Wildman: single and double hand heavy club swings.
Rotational arm swings.
I'm really enjoying this pattern: right hand palm brushes across the pecs moving past the left shoulder, then the arm straightens and swings across the chest backhanded, which flows into the left hand initiating, and comes back the opposite way, and then loops for as long as you like.
I can either allow my spine to move with the rotations, or keep it in place whilst everything moves around it.
I enjoy both variations, but the spine movement feels more fluid and my body seems to be vibing with it a bit more.
From my point of view the best exercises were turkish sitting and slavic squats. I had a bad hips movement ,that stiffness affected on my back part of spine, muscles on back tried to take over the work of the hips work during movement. Lucky for me i was patient with that particular exercises, breathing methods and ofc mobility exercises from your channel. Some of them are very useful for me and which suprised me, they are part of combat training for wrestlers for example. Thank u for that channel cuz u are doing great job and u all stay healthy and don't give up! 🙂
