Do you want an 8-week lower body mobility program? 2x workouts a week? Comment below, enough comments, and I'll make it ASAP. The program would include strength, mobility and flexibility work to help you achieve pistol squats, improved athleticism, splits in both directions, stronger glutes, hamstrings and quads + a stronger lower back and core.

Yes I'm a dancer and I could use something to strengthen and mobilize my lower body in a graceful way. I love your programs, I'm wondering if you could provide options for cross training as a dancer/athlete?

***I think you should train BOTH limited rom( range of motion), full rom and extended rom. I just don't think it's best to ONLY train partial/limited rom, or to ONLY do full rom. I use partial reps in my training to strengthen the weakest point of the movement, such as by doing a half rep of a pull-up in the hardest position or a half rep of an HSPU in the hardest portion. I also use limited rom to learn new skills like when I first learned pistol squats and handstand press. In the beginning, limited rom was the only option as I couldn't do the full movement. I also use limited rom to place more tension on a muscle to aid in hypertrophy, like doing limited rom hip thrusts right after completing a set of full rom hip thrusts. Or a burn out of half rep push ups (bottom to middle) after a set of full rom push-ups. Moral of the story, use all ranges. Limited rom is a useful tool, and so is extended rom. This video is meant to encourage you to ADD on extended rom training.

Funny enough, weightlifting/body building is moving towards doing extended rom as the benefits of lengthen partials for hypertrophy is bearing out in the research

As a middle aged man I feel there's a tendency to take advice from experienced middle aged men as it would be most applicable to me, but you've really proved me wrong. I've been working the jefferson curl and the pancake just way differently, and I'm looking forward to trying these next time. You are very articulate and probably why I think you managed to convince my stubborn mind!

you have no idea how happy I am I found this channel randomly.

I'm not sure why this video was recommended (now) but I'm glad it was. Also, this is why I started watching more women in the fitness industry about 6 years ago. The men taught me everything about aesthetics and strength, but with those workouts came a bad outcome too, lack of mobility. As a person who loves to play sports and has had plenty of injuries, some of those workouts were not helping in lateral movement and flexibility. Still, women always tended to emphasize movement, agility and flexibility in their content. As a veteran with so many injuries and a current kinesiology student, I really appreciate these videos.

About muscle building. If you’re not using the full range of motion when doing squats your just using bad form. Studies show that going to the very end of flexibility(feeling the stretch), and pausing there for 2 seconds, is the most productive part of the movement for size and strength. This fundamental fact applies to all strength building exercises, not just squats.

Jefferson curl was a staple for a while, had always thrown it in there when doing legs, than throughout time forgot about it. Also awesome tweaks and progressions. And the foam roller thing is especially creative.

Really well thought out and clearly explained. We all need this stuff in our training!!!

I’ve always struggled with my lower back mobility. I’m going to add the 2nd drill to my routine. It looks very promising. Thank you 🙏🏻

I have been in a mobility plateau, but I feel like you just gave me the tools I need to punch through. Very helpful! Thanks for sharing!

I love all your content Summer!!!! You are such an inspiring example of how to become a flexible athlete past your teen years.

The preview to a one legged pistol squat was exciting! And everything else gives the viewer a lot to work with. Thanks for sharing your fitness knowledge!

I love all of your content explaining the processes instead of only demontrating to others you can do it so easily. You cannot progress untill safe basic movements are constructed. I believe alot of people become very discouraged and disconnect with others and also no longer follow if it only looks to being a far fetched fantasy. Thanks again

I recently got a doorway pullup bar to use as a low bar in my house. Glad to see I can also perform the last one with it now too.

This is my first time hearing about weighted mobility! Awesome tips!

Amazing! I'm definitely adopting this routine into my mobility days!

This was truly a fantastic video. It sounds like the Jefferson curl is EXACTLY what I need. Thank you!

this video is precious. Thank you very much for such detailed explanations. You rock girrrrl ❣

Thank you for sharing. Will definitely implement these ❤

Thanks for the info you’re extremely knowledgeable and profoundly helpful blessings

Your narrow squats drill helped me with my pistol squats. thank you ❤❤❤

Excellent video! Looking forward to giving these a go! Thank You!

These drills are exactly what I've been looking for for years! Been practicing yoga for 10 years and I've only made small progress on the "pancake". This should be able to help me to get to the next level. Thanks!

Amazing content as always 😊❤️

Love the stretching techniques, I will attempt this at my next workout. I like to increase my pancake stretch.

Jefferson curls with a weight were a game changer for increasing my range of motion and flexibility.

Summer!!! Your content is so amazing ❤❤❤ thank you for this!

Amazing! So helpful!! Thank you ❤

Finally someone not taking a squat photo angle from behind. Great info!

These are so good Summer!!!

Amazing drills. ❤

Thank you Summer ,, this has reminded me so much ...

Summer, how did you really get involved in this. Did you have calisthenics or gymnastics communities nearby? Did you go to group classes, get a 1-1 teacher, how did you know what to do, how often to do it, when to do it etc? There are so many drills and stuff I could do, so many routines... But I think I need to get involved in a nearby community to really make progress and benefit from the hive-mind of knowledge and experience there.

Great exercises thanks for sharing!

great information, well explained. How long does it take to get into a full depth squat when exercising the movement daily ?

Thank youuuu❤ trying this next week

Wow, that video is amazing, very informative, will try that tomorrow, thanks!

After a few military press and I do that vertebrate stretch, I can feel my vertebrate stretches. 😊

Wow, you are just absolutely amazing in so many ways.

as someone introduced to a lot of this stuff via guys like KOTguy and Tom Merrick I now find myself wanting to improve all of the key fundamental flexibility positions, i found this video extremely helpful. I'm definetly going to steal some of these progressions. thank you.😅

I also love Tom Merrick but I found this video next level great. Tom sometimes assumes we are more advanced than we are.

I wish I had realised/been taught the importance of mobility at a younger age. My poor flexibility was always just accepted by my coaches as it didn't really hinder my performance (football and sprints) but recently had a couple of bad injuries I feel could have been avoided with proper conditioning. My competitive days are behind me now but I'm hoping I can still use these tips to improve myself at 33 with pins in my ankle and a stitched up Achilles tendon!

Very helpful Thank you!

Thanks!

I really love your explanation at the beginning of this video. Makes good sense and strength and mobility is always something I wanted to have both of. :) PS: Upon watching the rest of your video I gotta say, I love yur progressions and the movements you chose to demonstrate as I have a hard time finding good progressions that work good for me. You're awesome, Keep it up!

Thank you

Strong and beautiful. Just pure joy to find and watch your videos.

That split sh1t you did...... made my left hip crack! THANK YOU! 🤗🥰

Fabulous video!

Wow wow wow. Man I love everything about you and your videos! I love your kind tone of voice and the explicit explanation for each exercise. Thank you for sharing your experience, tips, and knowledge. Following you here...😉👍🏻👏🏼😘

Great video

Right on

This is actually amazing. Thank you! Your flexibility is equally impressive. By the way, you're absolutely stunning.

Full range of motion weight training also seem to be the best way to increase muscle size, so training like this during all exercises might give you the best of both worlds when it comes to mobility and hypertrophy.

Grazie. Thanks!

To quote Mickey Mantle, “if I had known that I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself.” I admire those of you who realize that you should be doing these before you have a spinal injury and a joint replacement. I watch these and think “that’s a great idea!” before I realize that this ship has already sailed.

I feel like doing calisthenics will fix my posture and mobility problems 🤩

In such a fake world, this just seems real genuine. Keep it up.💪

I have a hard believing that you don’t have gymnastic background. Your flexibility is insane.

I’d like the mobility program. Did you ever produce/distribute it?

This is the loosening deadlift of Tommy Kono, the weightlifter legend.

She's so gorgeous and has such a calm and gentle demeanour - whilst being absolutely shredded! Now a subscriber as I need to work on exactly these areas.. Thank you!

Yes please

doing Jefferson curls with your toes elevated will stretch out your calves more right behind the knee too, much harder than a flat foot but very effective

I want to know who or which group of people said you should only train limited range motion? For the most part, good trainers will teach you to train full range of motion. I'm just curious who said this, or when it became popular? Otherwise, great video and I learned a lot!

Hi Summer thank you so much for this! I’m on my calisthenics journey and I’ve been incorporating these movements in the gym. If your mobility is basic, is it okay to do a “weighted mobility day” and actively do hip mobility 2x a week? That’s what I’ve been doing but I don’t want to overstretch either. How do you know when you’re stretching too much? I’m doing the daily morning one 5 days a week Hip mobility stretches on leg day (2x week) 1 full weighted mobility day… too much? Or can you can do a video breaking that down please?🙏🏾

Pretty impressive flexibility and strength!!

Clavicles to die for ❤

new fan here! :)

First thing people need to be aware of is that the operative word is range and not absolute. There are many variables to take into account when it comes to a persons range of motion. Work within your appropriate range based upon what your joints will allow.

Haven't gotten through video yet but a tip in case it isn't in the video: unless you are wearing minimal shoes like she is, do not wear shoes during any of these exercises! Your feet are one of the most important spots for mobility and injury prevention.

I'm not able to lock out a kettlebell overhead, any recommendations or exercises for improving mobility there?

I start out standing on a 2x4, the stretch is amazing. I notice you do not lock out your knees. Is it bad to lock out your knees?

Shoulders jacked💪🏻

I think most trainers I’m watching these days, for hypertrophy or pure strength, cali dudes too, recommend full range of motion, including a weighted pause at the end. Good content though, but not sure about the opening. Good luck with the channel!

Hi, I have lower back issues from time to time. Is this something I'll be able to work up to?

The exercises covered are Jefferson curls Seated good mornings The couch stretch And one other I've never seen before

I'm mesmerized watching these videos.

We have to strecht and do movilitt before or after workouts?
