Jan. 14 - after trying everything, I tried your exercise for the last couple of days. Immediate improvement and I was able to get back in the gym for other leg exercises. Thanks.
@@Rise4L The groin pull has subsided, but for those reading this, needs constant care via exercise and stretching. I discovered that my pull was the result of my not attending to (strengthening) surrounding muscle groups. Doing that work took the weight off of my groin so it could heal properly. I'm not a doctor but I play one on TV. 🙃
I had been having left hip flexor pain every time I squatted for the past few weeks. Figured it might be because of tight hips. I tried this routine out for the first time before my squats and they were completely pain free. Thank you so much
Busy I do all of those: clam shells, banded hip work, 90/90 hip hinges, airplanes and these My lower back pain of 6 years I guess had been mostly hip flexor related. Lower back Pain is pretty much gone I do all these 2-3x a week for maintenance
My left knee has been injured (Hyperextend) due to awkward landing because of basketball fortunately it's a minor injury only. All this videos helped me a lot Thank you SquatUniversity. i can play basketball now without pain🇵🇭❤
I have the same issue on my right leg. Is this something we need to do before running or on our own to build strength so that it stops pain when we do run?
look at his other video called "The BEST Hip Opener", there he goes more in depth on how to do this stretch and also weight, not sure what he used in the video but I use a 14kg kettlebell.
@@ja7020 Same... I've also used whatever dumbbells I had a available as the counterweight. From what I've gathered, upright posture and form is the most important part of this technique.
@squatuniversity Can you recommend some training I can do strengthen hips and work on mobility. I want to increase height for roundhouse kick as well as better stability and strength for compound lifts ie squat and deadlift. I also find my right leg wants move closer to my left when I am just standing and my right foot walks on the outside of the foot. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
If you strained your groin, it means you overstretched it (probably a weakness there). Never stretch or massage strains. Rest and ice the first 48 hours, and continue with heat after 48. Now this is great for preventing groin strains.
@@mightymight365 Appreciated, and thank you. I think it came from Cycling using a bike that was too large for me. So, no elliptical, abduction machines or squats?
From experience... Barefoot running [in minimalist shoes] and ice massage from foot to knees cured mine over years... Achilles will benefit from all thing foot mobility, and foot strengthening [especially the toes... Elevated calf raises where you rise up on the toes will be huge for you, as well as duck walks].

Anyone else ever just do random stretches to see whatever relieves the pain and then come here and feel like a slight genius
Every d*** time
sometimes yes
Yessir, random stretches even ones I make up feels good.
It’s intuition, the body knows. I am starting to learn that myself.
😂😂😂😂😂
Nothing like loosing the ability to run pain free and then getting that back. It’s life changing.

How is it now?
@@Rise4L Better! I just have to be consistent in my workouts.

Much needed as I approach 50. Thank You!
Always include the stability work. Mobility without stability = pain and tightness.

so you just did it right before squats and ypu could do them painfree at the same weight?
This man is a legend - instead of spending loads of money on a physio, his videos helped diagnose and effectively treat my minor injury. Top man!
Wow my hip mobility was awful. I needed this
This has helped me to relieve pain from my sciatic nerve 💯 helps alot
How much does it cost to get diagnosed by this guy
I also do this daily . Thanks to this channel . My mobility is slowly getting better .
Same!
90/90 hip hinges are good plus Banded Rectus Femoris Joint Mobilization
Get this man 1 million subs he is a national treasure!!!
He really is.
He almost has 3 million subs now...how many was it 11 months ago, and 4 months ago?
International
Let me just say, the glute squeeze before leaning into the stretch is clutch.
Will this also strengthen your hips?
I've been having the same kind of problem for months. Tried right now, incredible improvement. You're a wizard 🧙🤗
I tried this for the first time before leg day yesterday and my squats felt better than they have in ages
Can this possibly help with lower back pain while squatting?
Opening your hips is almost guaranteed to take stress off of the lower back. Speaking from personal experience and research. Hope this helps.
look for kemo mariott tutorial on youtube, most self-taught squat enthusiasts don't even know the basics of a good posture while performing a squat.
May also want to try some heel wedges for more range of motion until you can increase mobility.
This guy’s videos are some of the very best things on TH-cam. I ❤️ him!
I swear. In love with this exercise.
DOCTOR. Do I need this exercise if I already can put my calfs behind my head???
😂
Such a great warmup before lifting. Cheers
Hear Hear! This movement and the Banded Hip Mobility have been Game Changers... I recently added the Hip Airplanes, and will add Clam Shells...
Busy I do all of those: clam shells, banded hip work, 90/90 hip hinges, airplanes and these

Goldmine of knowledge
What is your profession and how do I find someone in my area?
Is there some other exercise you can do if you have bad knees? I'm older. ❤
My left knee has been injured (Hyperextend) due to awkward landing because of basketball fortunately it's a minor injury only. All this videos helped me a lot
Thank you SquatUniversity.
i can play basketball now without pain🇵🇭❤
Can’t wait to try this tomorrow and going forward. I have the same exact problem Sam has. THANK YOU!
This is sick. Amazing stuff
Is this routine meant to be a pre-leg day warm up or should this be a focused workout with working sets on its own?
I have tried this a number of times and it ultimately aggravates my SI joint. Any idea of what might be going on?
We can't let him go away with this, every time.....!!!
Is this good for SI joint pain?
I just started following because you give free tips to help improve/correct discomfort during workouts.
i've tried the kb weight shift but don't have the dramatic improvement shown here like after one session. I'm still practicing the shift.
I have the same issue on my right leg. Is this something we need to do before running or on our own to build strength so that it stops pain when we do run?
Who’s the lady in the opening?
she *HATT*
aight i found out it's lilytings
I feel the shift affecting the knee with contact on the ground and not the one in the direction of the shift. Any tips?
I feel intense pain in the joint of the kneeling leg when performing this. I guess some of us are just messed up more than others
How do you know if you have tight hips
You’re a hero!!!
My physical therapist recommened me this but I always get a pain feeling in my glutes when doing this. Any tips?
Is this something that can be incorporated daily ?
Do you have any suggestions for the outside of the hip? Inside feels great after this. Outside still kills me sometimes.
Incredible I need to try this
Hey coach! Do you have a regression of this movement? Some of my clients do not have the ability to kneel on the ground
Throw down a towel or yoga mat
@@jalama334 no offense but I didn’t ask you. And the lack of padding isn’t the problem lol, it’s the amount of knee flexion that’s a problem.
Do i do this on both sides or only on the tight side?😅
Love this tried yesterday one day helps with the tightness
Love your stuff
Good vide what song is that at the beginning?
Would this help with sciatic pain?
I need to do this, my right hip is so worse compared to my left.
Any tips of something to use at home if you don't have actual weights?
Definitely trying this today
What type of bands are used for the clamshell exercise? Is there a resistance that is preferred?
I noticed you had him stretch his left inner thigh. But what will that stretch on the right leg as he stretches the left inner thigh?
I get pain in my glutes when doing this, any advice for that?
Do you have anything for patella tendonitis?
ice and change your socks mixed with Motrin. You're welcome.
What kind of specialist helps with this?
I would say a physical therapist, gym Trainor maybe, or massage therapist
I need your help!!
Can I do it with a Dumbbell?
Man been fighting this for years!!! Gotta try this out
what kind physical therapy is this called? like sports management?
Should we do this before or after a workout?
always stretch after a workout
Which glute should u squeeze?
Can someone plz tell me what does "opening up you hips" ?
Is this OK to do before Squats or better for after? (Worried about static stretching before)
Can you do this with out a kettle bell?
Will this stretch help SHS?
How much should the kb weigh?

@@busyrand based
I used a 30lbs kettlebell, that was a good weight for me.
thanks❤
Are this and others advices in the squad bible? I have been thinking about buying it
I do this because I noticed it helped stretch out my hips, I had no idea it was an actual technique 😲
think my arms are too long for my legs bcuz the kb keep hitting the floor and can't get a good stretch lmao
Pick up the kettlebell I too have long arms adapt
@@jalama334 thought the idea was to let the weight hang?
@@jalama334 thought of using two yoga blocks, one under my knee and the other foot. gives me a cpl inches more lol
Cossack squats are nice too

I want to be healthy and strong from head to floor, not just core.
i have hip pain when squatting but good score in hip faber test and stability whats wrong

How much kettle weight to start with?
I do a warm up #20/#35 then 3 sets #50 kettlebells stretching into it 5 seconds
What is the point of the kettle bell here? I can't understand why it's needed?
Can confirm also on the right track now! 🤙👌 thanks lol
What helps piriformis syndrome? I try this.
I tried this but it's painful
Nice one lad
Kettlebell is the way , wish I realized sooner
Why do these people look so stiff and dont seem to be breathing in and out while doing the stretches lol i may be wrong but it's just my observation
I love this for my one side but when my right leg is on the ground I get a shooting pain from my glute to my back and inner hip socket
Can you please show how to fix Achilles and shin pain
From experience... Barefoot running [in minimalist shoes] and ice massage from foot to knees cured mine over years... Achilles will benefit from all thing foot mobility, and foot strengthening [especially the toes... Elevated calf raises where you rise up on the toes will be huge for you, as well as duck walks].
@SquatUniversity What weight KB should we be using for this?

I believe hearinf him say any weight
only fair. ur welcome women
She got me feelin funny
It the kettlebell really needed? Don’t see a point of the weight here.
It's just to encourage a straight torso, doesn't have to be very heavy.
Is this why I can't do a 90/90 pigeon pose? My groin is too tight?
Test and retest :)
@@platosbeard3476 Lol, nice
I think majority of my problems come from sleeping on my right side.
When I try this workout I'm enjoying this
Need this
I tried this day one and felt amazing after.. like literally life changing
Sorry, I'm distracted he's barefooted walking around that building
His knee bends the other way in the end. I think he's an emu bird
@squatuniversity teach your runner to not hyperextend his knees (like he does in the final seconds of this video) 😎
Aaah my glutes cramp up immediately
Wow
