[Reed Strength & Mobility @CoachGeoffReed]

This is Derek Williams, better known as @Mr1nf1n1ty1.

He turned 46 years old in June but doesn’t look a day over 25.

As @kneesovertoesg's right hand man, he’s inspired thousands of people to reimagine what might be possible as we age—including me.

I wanted to find out more, so I asked him about his life so far. Here is his story: 🧵

That is all for today! I will cover additional exercises in future threads!

5) Couch Stretch

1-2 sets x 30-60 seconds each side

Find something that can be used for padding under the knee. The ATG knee pad is awesome for this exercise.

Gradually work into this position. For more details on how to get into position and progress this stretch check out my YouTube video here: https://t.co/POwPcZqSAE

[Fouts Fitness @Jared_Fouts]

6) Piriformis Stretch

1-2 sets x 30-60 seconds each side

Get into a 90/90 (both legs at a 90 degree angle) position seated on the ground. Slowly lean forward until you feel a good stretch in your outer hip area.

You could also perform pulses (push up type movement) from this position as well.

Explore and have fun with this stretch. Let me know how you like it.

[Fouts Fitness @Jared_Fouts]

4) Poliquin Step

1-2 sets x 25 reps

Start flat on the ground with upper body assistance for balance.

If you are unable to complete all 25 reps, do as many as you can, switch legs and match the number of reps on previous leg, return to the leg you started with and finish the 25 reps, switch and match other leg.

Progress by removing upper body assistance, increase height, and add load.

[Fouts Fitness @Jared_Fouts]

3) Seated Calf Raise

1-2 sets x 25 reps (non-beginners can work up to 50+ reps)

If you do not have a seated calf raise machine you can use a heavy dumbbell or kettlebell by placing it on top of your leg.

This will require high reps to really get that soleus working so if 25 reps do not produce a good muscle burn keep going!

[Fouts Fitness @Jared_Fouts]

Lower body ATG-Style workout!

🧵6 exercises, sets, and reps!

Let’s get started!

[Fouts Fitness @Jared_Fouts]

2) Tibialis Raise

1-2 sets x 20 reps using body weight by leaning your back against the wall and raising your toes to your shins.

Further your feet are away from the wall the harder it will be.

When you can complete 20-25 straight reps you can progress by adding load with an ATG tib bar!

[Fouts Fitness @Jared_Fouts]

1) Backward walking/treadmill/sled

1 set x 5-10 minutes of backward sled pulls.

Beginners I recommend setting a timer for 8-10 minutes. Work for 2 minutes, take a 2-minute rest, work 2 minutes, rest 2 minutes, etc.

Not a beginner, go as long as you can without stopping. Record that time. Beat that time next week!

If you do not have a sled or the @atgexercise ATG Backward Treadmill you can start by simply walking backward on flat ground or even an incline surface.

[Fouts Fitness @Jared_Fouts]

Incredible results!

7. Jared Fouts

Jared discovered ATG training shortly before he was scheduled for back surgery on a 9mm herniated disc.

He used ATG training to avoid surgery and improve his pain-free lower back ability.

Now he’s a Level 1 Certified ATG Coach and running his own training business!

Follow Jared here: @Jared_Fouts

[Fouts Fitness @Jared_Fouts]

Understanding there is a way to address lower back pain prevented me from getting back surgery!

Slowly progressing my abilities and getting strong in all of these exercises are what helped me the most.

Above. Below. All Around!

Regression to pain-free ability is KEY!

The 3 Main Ways I Help People Overcome Lower Back Problems

Rounded benches were more common 80 years ago than today.

You don’t need them.

And I don’t use them for the lower back.

I use them for ABOVE the lower back.

But they illustrate the point that we need MORE ABILITY…

[Fouts Fitness @Jared_Fouts]

Progressions:

-Start with bodyweight and if needed something to hold onto to help with balance.

-When you no longer need upper body assistance you can then hold something very light behind your back.

-From there you can begin to add weight.

*Tip* - George did sets of up to 100 reps so feel free to explore higher reps on this exercise!

I learned this exercise when I started training ATG @atgexercise and have fell in love with it.

Give it a try and let me know how it goes!

Looking for a new version of Squat?

Give the Hack Squat a try.

In this 🧵I will talk about how to perform this exercise and ways to progress!

[Fouts Fitness @Jared_Fouts]

Form tips:

-Start with bodyweight until you feel comfortable adding load.

-Hands are behind your back (close together)

-Place your feet together with toes slightly pointing outward. (Allows for a smoother movement and full range of motion)

-Lower down until your hamstrings cover your calves while also maintaining an upright torso.

-As you begin to lower down your heels come up off the ground.

I couldn't agree more. I do these 10 EVERY WEEK! I am still nowhere near @kneesovertoesg and some of the other incredible coaches at @atgexercise but it is NIGHT and DAY compared to when I started training ATG!

The 10 Mobility Exercises I’ve Done Most Over The Past 10 Years

I’ve coached top-10 earners in the NFL, NBA, and MLB.

Without hesitation, the most value I have to share is “stretch-strength.”

I haven’t seen anything more potent to change athleticism and resilience at once.
