Sir according to you both Sprint and long distance running (800 -1500)somehow depend upon heredity?
I’ve googled a LOT of videos on ankle dorsiflexion / squat stretches and this is by far the best. Excellent work Mr Merrick. Great explanation, exercises that make sense, excellent footage and a host who’s wearing a microphone! A+ Love your work.
How to keep your knee in line with your foot? I have a strong internal knee rotation when I go into the dorsi flexion position, a little bit more on my right side, the weaker side.
I got cramps in my ankle after this, am i doing it wrong? Btw i have never stretched before.
Gracias a ti pude entender eversion y inversion
Saludos desde argentinaa!!����
Excellent, mate! After 1 session, my ankles feel warm and loose. I like it.
Would it be helpful to sit down on the floor, with legs outstretched (the “sit-up” position), and then bend the feet in the dorsiflexion position, and then gently bend forward to increase the stretch as much as possible?
I’m only her cuz i wanna do the asian squat but i need to get flexible ankles first
Could you do a banded ankle mobilization tutorial? I feel that I’ve gotten some good ROM but now running into that “pinching feeling.”
Sorry but how am I supposed to bounce properly? Which muscle should lead the movement? The hands? The backward foot? I’m confused I dont move like you do
I had an ankle fracture 7 months ago and my ankle mobility is not 100% there yet, but I saw immediate results in just one session thank you so much for this video!
exactly what I was looking for! you gained a new subscriber!
When I squat deep the front of my shins always cramps. Any tips?
For the longest time I’ve never been able to do a squat and I wasn’t sure why. I found out it’s because my dorsiflexion is terrible. I literally can’t bring my knee past my foot but I’m working on it now
Just show the exercise bro…we dont need so much knowledge……
What is cartilage proliferation? Your talar cartilage grows into the gutter?
Hi. Could you give a rough idea as to how much progress you can realistically make for ankle dorsiflexion for a person with very poor ankle mobility at the moment? And a timeline please:)
My left wont really dorsi flex at all. Atleast compared to the right. Its so little
how do i sprint like that. I mean it seems difficult to sprint with a dorsiflexed foot
I want this more than anything. I know what I am doing for the next month:D
2:43 There’s no point in doing it in 3 different positions you will stretch the exactly same muscles. This is because the calf is undependent of the hips rotation
It may be 80% genetic… but the rest is up to you. Beat your best self first.. then worry about the other guy.
Hey Tom, I tried the dosiflexion 50 pumps exercise, I feel more pressure on my thigh than on my ankle, am I doing it right?
It seems that while you work on the dorsiflexion, you stretch your hamstring at the same time. Is that an issue? is it a sign that I am doing something wrong?
Hi, just wanted to say I have been trying these techniques for several days now and already feel a difference in my range of motion resulting in a lot less pain while running and although my squat still sucks, I feel like my heels are settling a bit lower every time I am in the full squat position, so thank you very much, really appreciate your advice for something that I have pretty much ignored for a long time as something I have just had to live with.
