My Favorite Way To Train The Body Weight Squat

Gary Berger — Fri, 17 Dec 2021 17:30:00 +0000

The squat is one of the most important movements in not just weight-lifting and for sports, but for life.

So many things that we do requires a proper and good quality squat.

In this video, I demonstrate one of my favorite ways to train the body-weight squat for technique, mobility, and control.

I do THREE unique things to make this challenging and help with proper muscle activation and form.

1. Create tension by pressing into a Yoga Block.

2. Place a band around the knees to get the hips firing.

3. Perform a 5-5-5 technique of 5 second eccentric lowering, 5 second pause, and 5 second concentric return to the start position.

This gives a solid muscle burn and really helps my depth and quality of the squat.

An amazing warm-up and way to improve your squat depth and quality.

Unique Drill For Improved Hip Rotation (Knee Hinge Hovers)

Gary Berger — Mon, 15 Nov 2021 17:00:34 +0000

The 90-90 position is extremely useful and beneficial for hip mobility, and specifically rotation.

Once you are able to get into this position and get into some stretches and dynamic movements, you will notice the benefits.

This position is also beneficial for its variability. One specific exercise from the 90-90 are hovers.

In this video, I take you through a knee hinge hover exercise for some increased challenge for improved hip rotation.

I like to do 2 sets of 5-10 repetitions.

This is a sequence that I learned from the Functional Range Conditioning seminar and Kinstretch instruction from Functional Anatomy Seminars which I use with my clients on a regular basis.

Elbow and Arm Mobility For Grapplers (Grappling RX – Elbow Rehab Course Sample)

Gary Berger — Fri, 23 Jul 2021 16:30:03 +0000

Here is a clip from session 1 of Grappling RX – Elbow Rehab.

I take through a sample of the first session starting out with shoulder, elbow, and wrist CARs which are incredibly useful for regaining and improving range of motion, followed by a couple of basic stretches.

This course was created by me, a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt for individuals who have sustained an elbow injury and are trying to get back to grappling and regular activity. This course is for recovery from mild-moderate elbow injuries and elbow pain that can commonly occur with grappling.

1 Minute Mobility – Segmental Cat Cow

Gary Berger — Fri, 28 May 2021 19:00:08 +0000

The Segmental Cat-Cow exercise is a slight, but very useful variation on the traditional exercise. We utilize the segmental approach to address each joint in the spine.

The idea is to focus on proper movement through each joint of the spine to allow for a more complete movement and ensure that each segment is moving adequately to limit compensation at other areas and to promote spinal health.

Great as a warm-up and a cool-down sequence. A go-to movement for me and should be one that you utilize as well.

Isolate The Thoracic Spine To Build A Healthier Back

Gary Berger — Wed, 28 Apr 2021 16:30:04 +0000

Thoracic spine mobility is vital to the health of the spine including the segments above and below this area.

Each segment of the spine must move appropriately to ensure that you maintain proper mobility and health in the back.

This series of movements are great in isolating the thoracic spine (mid back) which has a tendency to have tightness and mobility deficits and can put a stress on other segments of the spine and also can hinder shoulder function.
