The Bendability Podcast

Welcome to the Bendability Podcast with the splits wizard Emmet Louis.

“Over the last 15 years I have been on a quest of epic proportions to fully understand flexibility, mobility and range of motion development training and how it fits into the bigger training ecosystem.

I invite you to join me as we explore this topic in-depth over the coming podcast.

We will be looking at topics ranging from the biomechanics of stretching, the various methodologies for range of motion development, how the environment effects our results and how our mindset and self story effects our development.”

Episodes

Special Episode: Practical Introduction to Emergence

This video is taken from the practical session Emmet lead for the Embodied Movement Summit hosted by Rafe Kelley. In the video we cover some methods to give you a taste of the Emergence phenomena. This is a very complex topic so take your time to try it out and go in with no expectations.

Episode 15: Relax

In this episode we look at relaxation in the context of flexibility and also at the end we do a full follow along dissolution practice. Enjoy!

Episode 14: Ballistic Stretching

In this episode we begin the exploration of ballistic stretching, work on getting a consistent definition and look at some of the parameters for a consistent results with it.

Episode 13: Seminars

In this episode we talk about the return to teaching in seminars, the M3 Seminar and seminars and learning in general.

Episode 12: Introduction to Emergence

In this episode Emmet starts to talk about the concept of emergence, what it is? Some routes to it happening and how we can "make space" when it happens.

Episode 10: The Pancake

The pancake not just a tasty breakfast also a very useful range of motion position. In this episode Emmet discusses the pancake and its development in depth.

Episode 8: The Splits

In this episode we talk about the various types of splits the context that they are used in and some methods of measuring your progress. This episode is also a precursor to the episodes later in the season where we will discuss all the various splits in a lot more intricate detail.

Episode 7: Stretching Scientifically Part 3

In this episode we finish our commentary on the practical section of Stretching Scientifically by Thomas Kurz, The Grandfather of Range. We will discuss the final two chapters and how to make a routine using the ideas in the book.

Episode 6: Stretching Scientifically Part 2

In this episode we cover the practical section of Stretching Scientifically by Thomas Kurz, The Grandfather of Range. Part review and part commentary on the concepts of the text. We will look at this practical section over two episodes.

Episode 5: The Pike Part 2

Following on from last week we continue our exploration of the pike and all things involved in developing it and more of its features. The pike or forward fold is one of our key flexibility positions and in this episode we look at defining what it is, how it functions in the sea of gravity and various protocols and exercises to try out to help develop it.

Episode 4: The Pike Part 1

In this episode The Wizard entered a trance state and recorded double his intended time speaking about one of the key flexibility positions. So we split it into two parts that will drop over this week and next. The pike or forward fold is one of our key flexibility positions and in this episode we look at defining what it is, how it functions in the sea of gravity and various protocols and exercises to try out to help develop it.

Episode 3: Stretching Scientifically Part 1

In this episode we cover the first section of Stretching Scientifically by Thomas Kurz. Part review and part commentary on the concepts of the text. We will revisit the rest of the book in a later part of the season.

Episode 2: Mobility

In this episode we look at getting a more comprehensive definition of Mobility. See that it is a compound training quantity involving inputs from other training variables. We look at where the term comes from and a bigger picture way of looking at it.

Episode 1: Introduction

Welcome to the first episode of the Bendability podcast. This episode begins to introduce a lot of the concepts and ideas that will be discussed in full depth in the coming series of podcasts. In this first episode we discuss the wizard's background and the question that lead him on the current path of teaching and disseminating flexibility knowledge. We also discuss the categorisation of flexibility exercises and pain experience in flexibility exercises.
