Rob Lipsett works with Vinny from Myo Detox on fixing forward-head posture, focusing on the sternocleidomastoid muscle and rib cage alignment. They demonstrate why most people skip arm and forearm foam-rolling, and how to actually release the tension that pulls your neck forward.
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag in Italy?
That is actually kind of how I felt when I woke up this morning. Whoa, it's getting foggy out here. Okay, so starting today's vlog, we're all feeling pretty rough after such a good night last night. It was just awesome. Whoa, this keeps fogging up. But so basically today is going to be a chill day. I'm going to go in here now, get worked on by the Saigon Don of rehab, Vinny from Myo Detox, and I'm going to work on my neck posture a little bit. And then we're just going to have a chill day and get some food and maybe get a workout in. This is fogging up a lot, so I'm gonna go inside. But seriously, look at this crazy weather. We were going to go to a pool party today, but I think it's canceled. This is actually such a nice chilled atmosphere. Look at everyone just like chilling out. Yeah, this is Sunday. A few massages, life is grand, innit? Whoa! Yeah, yeah, pool party! Let's go, rally up, boys! Vinnie, I think you were on the channel like maybe 2 years ago. Ever since then, he has absolutely blown up. I'm gonna link All his details in the description box. And I've noticed over time, the more work I do on my laptop, I'm just— my head's leaning forward, my posture is taking a hit. So we're gonna sort all that out now.
Let's do it. Oh yeah, yeah, cool. All right, all right, we're gonna go live. We're gonna change this up a little bit. Let's See what I see. So right now you see where his torso is, his rib cage is leaning back and his head is going forward. Show us that leprechaun neck. Yeah! Oh yeah! So we're gonna take that out of him. So a lot of times for all you anatomy geeks and nerds, this is the SCM muscle and it'll pull you forward and what we want to do is we want to bring that back. Um, and also Uh, every day for Rob is arm day, so that's why his arms are like perma flexed almost. Relax, right? We want to make him a little bit more relaxed and have him here instead of like slightly bent all the time, right? Especially in the forearms too, like right here. You're gonna feel it. Oh yeah, yeah. And then on top of that, like, this gets tight too when you're doing like— you're doing rows, right? Back day, it's just like insane, right? And no one ever releases it for you, you know. You guys foam roll legs foam roll back and stuff, but no one ever foam rolls the arms. You guys just— and then it just stays there like that. Um, so his hips are coming forward, so he's almost like on a like Michael Jackson lean type thing. So yeah, he's going forward. See, if you see here, he's going forward like this. It's as if someone's pushing his hips this way, and then his torso is going this way, and then his head's going this way, right? I'm gonna say this right here. Perfect. And exaggerate it a little bit. Put your head forward. Yeah, exactly. And this is exactly what we want to work on. Cool, let's get going. Cool.
Oh yeah, yeah, I never even think of that.
Like, you're like this, this, all this tissue in the front pulls. Yeah, so drag your rib cage down. Yeah, your rib cage goes down. Yeah, your head has to follow it. It's not like you're gonna pull this down, it's not like this is gonna go backwards.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, everything's everything.
Man is a genius. Yeah, he's gonna put everything in the front of your oblique.
Okay, I feel so much better. We have just set up the day nicely. I'm ready to go kill it, and we are gonna put the kind of before and after— whoa, there's a shredded Max— we're gonna put the before and after. I'm gonna link it right in the description box. Go check Vinny out. Thanks. I look proper.
Peace, peace, dudes. It was a long night.
Teeth were broken, not mine.
Fun was had, definitely by me. And now we're going to a pool party. When you have weather like this, you go to the freaking pool.
And just like that, we are back. I hope you enjoyed the Texas videos because I absolutely enjoyed making them. And that trip was just— I was gonna say refreshing, but I'm definitely coming back a little bit more tired. That trip was just refreshing in a way that is just so good to spend time with people that want the best for you, that want to help you, that want to boost you, and they're just very like-minded. So I I had such a good time, to say the least. I say it so much that I'm not going to dwell on it, but surround yourself with the right people and watch the magic happen. So that's exactly what I've been doing this weekend. So now, what's next? Well, basically I am not traveling anywhere, thank God, for the next 14 days, and then we're off to Ibiza with Joe Delaney, Student Aesthetics, Nabil, and Ben. So that is going to be another epic trip. Please excuse all the kind of, yo, partying or the you know, me going out or the lifestyle part of things, but you know, it's summer and let the boys play. But for the next 2 weeks leading up to Ibiza, I'm going to do a little Ibiza prep. So it's going to be how I get ready for a holiday, from how I eat, how I train, right down to what hair could I get and what clothes I bring. So I think that's going to be a lot of fun and it's going to be very summery. And I know that there's probably also a lot of people preparing to go on summer holidays as well, so I think it's quite relatable. I've also got some huge announcements that I cannot wait to fill you guys in on. I've been dying to tell you for ages, so it's going to be a really fun 2 weeks, and then we got Ibiza to finish it off. So make sure you're subscribed, make sure to like the video. I'll see you in the next one. Keep it real, peace!
