00:01A key to a good workout is to limber up, to stretch.
00:07And I got here 1996 Olympian, WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry
00:13to give me perfect ways to stretch and get ready for a big workout.
00:19Frank Walks, Frank Walks, it's time for Frank Walks, Frank Talks while Frank Walks, it's time for Frank Walks.
00:39So we're going to do the first wrestling stretch.
00:43So we got to get on the floor, put our feet together, and then we're going to do what we
00:48call a pull.
00:49Now how's that go?
00:51All right, we're going to both get down on the floor.
00:54All right.
00:56You put your feet against my feet.
00:58All right.
01:04Like that.
01:05All right.
01:06And you push against, and then you grab my hands.
01:09All right.
01:10And then I'm going to pull back like this, and then you pull me.
01:15All right.
01:17Now we're doing a pull.
01:18I'm old.
01:20Be gentle.
01:21I'm not that young.
01:22I'm 50.
01:25Did you do this with the other wrestlers?
01:27Yeah.
01:28So this will be like backstage, these wrestlers.
01:31You're getting ready for a big match.
01:33Only the ones I like.
01:35The Miz, no way.
01:37We wouldn't do this.
01:38So, like, you're doing this with, like, Stone Cold and just before going out there?
01:42Yeah, I do it like that with one of the guys I like.
01:45Oh, wow.
01:45All right.
01:46So now you kind of get on your own, just widen your legs out.
01:51All right.
01:52And you want to get your hamstrings.
01:54Put your knees flat to the ground.
01:57Like that?
01:57Yeah.
01:58You want to make sure that you're as flat as possible.
02:00And you just start leaning forward and kind of crawl and working your way forward like that.
02:07And then you stretch out your glutes.
02:09I can feel that in my hamstrings.
02:11I can definitely feel that.
02:12Your low back.
02:14If you really get after it, you can feel it right in your rhomboids.
02:18Like in the middle of your back.
02:21But you want to just walk yourself in.
02:24Oh, yeah.
02:25Oh, man.
02:27I should have did this this morning, too.
02:30And you can stretch any time of the day.
02:32Yeah.
02:32You know, you know, you can relax a little bit and kind of lean back and relax and then
02:39do it a couple more times.
02:44Usually you can get you get better at it.
02:47Yeah.
02:48It's something that's going to need a lot of work, a lot of work.
02:52Got a lot of excess.
02:54Look at this.
02:55This is excess skin.
02:58And you know what?
02:59I had it.
03:00I was 440 pounds.
03:03Now I'm 100 pounds lighter, being 331, 332.
03:09But it takes time, you know, like let your body reacclimate.
03:17All right.
03:19Now we're going to take this leg and try to put our heel to our groin.
03:24Now we're going to stretch out this, the quad.
03:28All right.
03:30And the hip flexor.
03:33Same time.
03:35And just cross your hands on your leg and just lean forward.
03:39And try to put your chin down like you're trying to put your chin on your hands.
03:44And then you'll feel that hip flexor.
03:47Oh, yeah.
03:47And your low back release.
03:52Yeah, I can definitely feel that, especially like right in the hip area.
03:56Yeah.
04:04Oh, breathing is important when you stretch.
04:08You got to get that oxygen in your blood, man.
04:11You know, because you put yourself in a compromising position, too.
04:17You're not able to really expand your lungs.
04:20Yeah.
04:21So you kind of like cycling breaths.
04:23So you ever heard of Diamond Dallas Page?
04:26Yeah, I worked with him.
04:27I did a DDP yoga a couple weeks ago.
04:29I love him.
04:31That dude should be in the Hall of Fame just on the fact that how many people that he's helped.
04:37I mean.
04:38Like, he's a special human.
04:41I love you, right?
04:42Yeah, we went down to his place at Panama Beach.
04:46Panama Beach.
04:47Oh, you went to Panama Beach.
04:49Yeah.
04:49And it was great.
04:50He showed me a lot of, like, the stretches, the whole, like, the workout routine.
04:55I did a nice 30-minute workout with him.
04:57I mean, he's great.
04:59I mean, the WWE Hall of Fame, they own WCW.
05:04I mean, he was probably one of the best WCW restaurants of all time.
05:07Yeah.
05:08Before those morons destroyed it.
05:11Oh, my God.
05:15Well, I ain't gonna name-call.
05:17But there's a lot of things I disagree with.
05:20But you know what?
05:21I'm not in charge.
05:23That's somebody else's company.
05:24And you let people do what they do.
05:26I mean, the fact that they made an actor for a movie that you're trying to hype up,
05:33the champion, and then they put the...
05:35They tarnished the belt, and every fight was a run.
05:39I mean, the Monday Night Wars were...
05:42By then, WWF was, or WWE, or whatever you want to call it, was crushing them.
05:48And it was a joke.
05:50It was just such a monumentally better product.
05:54Yeah.
05:55Monumentally better product.
05:57It came together real well when all the guys from WCW and WWE joined together.
06:03And we got, like, the Booker T's and Rey Mysterio's and...
06:08One of my all-time favorite moments is the grocery store fight between Booker T and Steve Austin.
06:15Bro, there ain't much stuff better than...
06:18You can put that...
06:19Play that now.
06:21And it will be better than everything on TV.
06:24I mean, it was so funny.
06:25Can you put your feet together?
06:27All right.
06:29Now you're gonna, like, try to bring your toes to you.
06:32All right.
06:33And if you can touch them, touch them.
06:35If not, this is...
06:37Now we're gonna get this upper part of the gastric, the calf.
06:40Yeah.
06:40We're gonna stretch that out.
06:42Woo!
06:44Woo!
06:44I'm getting close.
06:46Woo!
06:46Oh, my.
06:51Oh, I can definitely feel everything in my, like...
06:54You feel that in your calves?
06:55Calves, everything.
06:56It hit, like, the whole leg.
06:56Hamstring.
06:57Yeah, the whole leg.
06:58Glutes.
06:59Yeah, the whole leg.
07:03I can even feel it in my arms a little bit.
07:04So, it's important to get your, really, your lower extremities stretched out in wrestling.
07:11Because you're gonna do a lot of falling.
07:14And when you start, you know, falling backwards or falling forwards,
07:20sometimes off one leg, sometimes off the ropes,
07:24you just want to be pliable.
07:27You know, one of my...
07:27Kind of like a ragdoll.
07:28One of my favorite all-time fallers was Greg the Hammer Valentine.
07:33He did that front, like...
07:36Yeah.
07:36That front, like...
07:37Rick Flair was good at it, too.
07:39Yeah.
07:39Really good at it.
07:40But Greg the Hammer Valentine just had that look on his face whenever he did that front faceplant.
07:45All right, we're gonna belly up.
07:48You know what bellying up mean?
07:49I'm not at home.
07:50Sure.
07:51Oh, man.
07:51This is gonna not be fun.
07:54This is not...
07:55This is my worst.
07:57Oh.
07:58All right.
07:59You're gonna get on your stomach, man.
08:01And we're gonna reach back.
08:04And we're gonna grab our foot.
08:06And pull your foot to your butt.
08:09It sucks.
08:11All right.
08:12Because the front of your quad is, we call it the teardrop.
08:19It's gonna be on fire.
08:21You ready?
08:22Yep.
08:24Whew.
08:28Oh.
08:29Good try.
08:30Oh, my gosh.
08:32Oh, yeah.
08:33Definitely can feel that one.
08:37Oh.
08:39I'm a glutton for punishment.
08:42Oh, feel the front of it.
08:43It'll start to get looser.
08:45And once it starts to get looser, you know, kind of relax and let it back.
08:49And then pull it again.
08:52Oh, yeah.
08:56When you get real crazy, you can pull it up off the ground.
09:01Oh, man.
09:08I've seen baseball players stretch this way.
09:12Yeah.
09:13Because you do a lot of running and jumping.
09:15Yeah.
09:23Oh, man.
09:27Oh.
09:33Oh.
09:36Oh.
09:36Oh.
09:50Oh, man.
09:52How does that feel?
09:53Definitely you can feel it.
09:54Definitely you can feel it.
09:55Everything.
09:56Like in your whole life.
09:59Oh.
10:01Now we're gonna roll over to our back.
10:04All right.
10:05Oh.
10:06This is my favorite part because I get the rest.
10:10Take some deep breaths.
10:15Now we're gonna look like the Rockettes.
10:19You know what the Rockettes are?
10:21The legs.
10:22Leg kicks, brother.
10:24All right.
10:25We're gonna kick our leg up off the floor about six to eight inches and just hold it.
10:31Let some blood get in that quad.
10:35Try to put your toe up.
10:38Just a leg raise.
10:42As long as you can.
10:44It don't have to be forever.
10:46And then switch and go to the other one.
10:52You'll start to feel it in your glute and low back.
10:56Yeah.
10:57And it's a light condition.
10:58You can swing it out.
11:03You also use your abs.
11:06Yeah, I can feel that.
11:08You feel it in the lower part of your abs right here.
11:10Like right by your waistline.
11:12Yeah.
11:30All right.
11:33I'm gonna wide now.
11:34You stay right there.
11:36I'm gonna get a little wider because now we're gonna throw our leg right over and stretch.
11:41All right.
11:46Miss Chelsea, can you move this chair?
11:53All right.
11:57Oh.
11:59All right.
12:00So like that.
12:02Woo!
12:04Woo hoo hoo.
12:06Yeah, I can see that one.
12:07You feel that?
12:08Yep.
12:12Oh man, it sucks.
12:15Mm.
12:15But you're gonna feel so much better afterwards.
12:21And it's kind of like, you know how people bounce stretch?
12:25Yeah.
12:25That's not good for you.
12:28It's kind of like you ever cook a ham before?
12:31Yeah.
12:31Yeah.
12:31If you cook a ham on high heat, it's tough as shoe level.
12:36Oh, it dries out.
12:36It dries out.
12:37You want it a long time, low heat.
12:41And that's how stretching is.
12:43If you allow it to just stretch out for a long time, then it gets warm and it's, you know,
12:48you become more pliable.
12:50Mm-hmm.
12:54Oh, yeah.
12:59When you try to keep your shoulders down, like keep your arms flat, you can get more stretch out of
13:07it.
13:08And you feel it in your pecs, too.
13:09What do you do?
13:11Ooh, yeah.
13:21Long time, Frank.
13:33All right.
13:33All right.
13:37Can you put your feet up like this?
13:40And you can put your butt down.
13:44That's definitely a position that'll help you out.
13:49But now we're going to get some of this.
13:53We're going to get that core.
13:55Yep.
13:56You know, like you can have somebody help you.
13:59They can stand in front of your knees.
14:02And then they can reach their hand out and you grab both hands.
14:06You just grab both of their hands.
14:10So we have to reach out.
14:12Where is my guy?
14:15Hey, Jenks.
14:17Jenks, we need you.
14:19What are we doing?
14:20Can you stand in front of him?
14:21Yes, sir.
14:22And there you go.
14:24All right.
14:24And now just sit up.
14:26Sit up.
14:26But don't sit all the way up.
14:28Just like a crunch.
14:29All right.
14:30And you control it.
14:31Don't let him control it.
14:32You control it.
14:34All right.
14:35So you just, there you go.
14:36And you want to feel your stomach activate.
14:40That's all you want to do.
14:41You don't want to do an actual, like a sit up.
14:44It's a crunch.
14:46Let's do it.
14:46And you're using him as your support to pull up.
14:49I love that.
14:50I never did this before.
14:51And this is in the pump club app.
14:57Or you can do like this.
15:01Yeah.
15:01All right.
15:02All right.
15:02I think that's about eight.
15:05Whew.
15:13Keep going, Frankie.
15:14He didn't stop.
15:16He's all right.
15:17He's all right.
15:18Hey, this, you're laying on your back so you can take a break when you need it.
15:31You know what Dallas Page said to me?
15:35He said, hey, how the hell you get so flexible?
15:41And I said, because I was an Olympic weightlifter.
15:46And the positions that you get in an Olympic weightlifting, you have to be really flexible.
15:53You can't just be strong.
15:55You can't just be athletic.
15:57If you're not flexible in Olympic lifting, you're not going to be a good Olympic lifter.
16:02All right.
16:02Now we're going to do our little crossover.
16:05All right.
16:05We're going to take one of these, whatever leg you want to do first.
16:09All right.
16:09Grab it and put it on your knee.
16:12And then try to push it down to the floor.
16:16Whew.
16:17Lord have mercy.
16:20Open it up.
16:23And just press it.
16:25You ain't got to do nothing but lay here and be comfortable.
16:29And just press it down.
16:41All right.
16:42All right.
16:43Oh, yeah.
16:43Now you switch over?
16:44Then you switch over to the other leg.
16:50You know, when I first started stretching good, I couldn't even cross my legs like this.
16:59It took a while.
17:03It took a while.
17:05Yeah.
17:07It's impressive.
17:08It's impressive.
17:12Oh, oh.
17:18We got to get up off the floor now, Frank.
17:21All right.
17:22Break time is over.
17:28if you want to do like an upward dog you want to do like if you can look up some
17:34yoga poses
17:35this would be a good time to do it because you're already on the ground you did the ones like
17:40uh
17:40sunrise where you like where the position you're in now take your right arm i mean your left arm
17:47and put it to the ceiling no that one you can do that it's a it's a bunch of those
17:55and then put your
17:56other knee there you go alternate you can get them both man frame killing it
18:22all right we're gonna get up off the floor i just do always do the cat back
18:28like brown your back you'll see a cat go yeah like that yeah you do like that round you push
18:36your back
18:39out sometimes it'll crackle and pop and yeah you know you get all of that in there i know
18:45what ddp basically told me that like this you can also lean forward like this put your hands on your
18:51knee all right try to keep your foot flat but that's not a prerequisite you don't have to do that
19:02come on jinx let me show you can you lay down on the floor for me put your legs toward
19:08me
19:11bring your legs here like bring your legs up like this point your toes toward me
19:18and don't let me throw your legs down
19:23so i want my back on the ground or up it don't matter if you up is harder
19:35yeah yeah that's 20. one two three four five
19:43all right whoo see he done i'll be like another uh another step another big step in this i think
19:50i like this yeah so you can do wall sits you've seen wall sits before where you put your back
19:58to
19:58a wall like watch the jinx
20:02just like you're doing a squat and then just and then just sit there against the wall two minutes one
20:09minute start with 30 seconds and then go to a minute and then a minute and a half and then
20:14two
20:14minutes like it's the same thing with wall push-ups there's a lot of people that can't do push-ups
20:20yeah i can't do that yet or they can't do dips you you can do dips yeah like you stand
20:26up
20:29you can take two chairs
20:35and get in this position you don't even have to go up like that you just stay down there like
20:41this
20:43and just activate the muscles so like it'll be like something like if like something like over
20:48here like this you can use a bench yeah like i'm just saying like when you're home
20:54and the weather's bad and you can't get out yeah like this something like this right that's a dip
21:08you do the same thing with push-ups you can get in a push-up position on the chairs
21:14or you can do it on the wall i did that on the uh barbell
21:22but these are all like full body exercises they don't have a pvc pipe in here
21:30but you can get you a big old stick like a broomstick or a mop stick or something
21:35and you can hold it over your head like this yeah and you can squat with it
21:40yeah that's uh we did something like that the other day it's tough but it's really good
21:46because i wasn't quite ready for the barbell squat so i found something else that was
21:51lighter bar i guess you could say yeah but yeah because this is this rogue bar
21:57that's a team bar and this
22:04like those are three different kinds of bars you know so but you can you try it out man like
22:11don't don't try to rush into stuff i think that's what i bet i think that's especially with the
22:17the pump club app has really helped is it's really got me to the point where i'm i'm slowly building
22:23up
22:23building up building up taking the next step and then building up and building up and i think
22:29probably by the next month or two i'll probably be a lot more ready for like bigger stronger and longer
22:36right exercises yeah and the thing is is we're not trying to go in the arnold classic no we're trying
