The book by Aaron, "Squat Bible" deserves its title: it is by far the most complete and scientific approach of the squat I've ever seen. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who seriously wants to specialize in squatting.
0:12 Hip Mobility Test - a pinch in the hip is indication of need a hip joint mobilization. 1:45 Thomas Test - tests, as well as hip mobility, stiffness in hip flexors, IT band and quads. 5:00 Banded Hip Mobilization - stretching out the ability for the femur to rotate well in the joint capsule. 8:29 Soft Tissue stretches - Hip Flexor Stretch - bring your hips into posterior pelvic tilt by squeezing your butt.
That is why I do my own mobility work for like 20-35 minutes before class. I work on things I need to work on for my body. Awesome video! Learned two more things!
This series of videos are saving my life. You are showing me that there is a way to fix my body in order for it to function like its supposed to. I cannot thank you enough. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I'm trying to fix my squat and have been searching for good tips around the Web for more than a week. This is the best tutorial I ever watched! Congratulations and thank you so much! can't wait to be better in squat!
I'd love a video on how to choose a physical therapist or when do you need one. I'm feeling beaten up and getting weird impingement's that I've never experienced before. I'm also entering a new level of strength than before and starting to feel it. I feel like self mobility work isn't enough or just not doing the right things. I also feel strange going in without any serious injuries.
Elias, great question! A physical therapist can help in many ways! If you are having pain, that's a definite sign to seek one out. Pain is like your cars "check engine warning light" and a PT can easily figure out what is going on and help you fix it. Even if you aren't having pain, but feel things are a little off, a PT can easily assess you from head to toe and help you move better. As far as how to find one. I'd look into any PT with a sports background. PTs that have been certified also as an SCS or OCS have an indepth background that is above and beyond most others. Don't worry about going without having a big injury. I see athletes all day with out any pain at all that just feel stiff in this joint or that.
I'm not sure where you live, I'm in Pa, and you need a prescription from a physician in order for your insurance to cover you for Physical Therapy. Most times, they will give you a list of places you can go, and you can choose the clinic that fits best for you. If it doesn't seem like a good fit for you, never hesitate to cancel and move on to another therapist or clinic. I work in Rehab,and it's never taken personally.
this was brilliant, the whole series was. I will definitely buy his book. I only wish you discussed how to fix hip rotation (internal and external rotation). especially external rotation. I suppose I can't expect it all for free tho. definitely appreciate what you did provide tho, two thumbs up
Bravo on part 1 and 2. Im in process of improving my squat form. This series and screens with remedies are in line with observations I am already making.
This is so awesome, i wish I'd seen videos like this when I started lifting weights years ago. I'm going back to basics and videos like this help immensely. Thanks guys!
Great work, although the stretches are temporary at best. While the difference may be there for 30-60 seconds, it is not permanent. Personally, hoping that over time there will be more change at the hips by adding this to my program.
Thank you for the Great videos. I've got a question. What if during a goblet squat or squatting holding onto an object in front the person can hit good depth but as soon as you remove the objects or place a barbell on the back the squat goes to hell. I'm assuming this is more of a stability issue affecting mobility. How should we address this issue?
Pump Hog this is because when holding a weight in front of you, you are able to balance yourself and avoid falling back so your upperbody stays upright and you can hit depth. However when removing a counter weight or further putting weight on the opposite side, such as a back squat, your form resorts to trying to get balanced again which often means a hinge with the back over the knees or an extension of the lower back. Often times this happens in people with tight ankles that are unable to move their knees past their toes in order to hit depth. Basically, loosen you ankles by strething your knees past your toes in a standing postion. Also, glute activation and hip mobility helps as well.
Great video! In this video we see difference between testing right before and right after some mobility exercise with band. But, the question is can we expect some long term effects of these mobility exercises and should we being more motivate for it especially if they produce enough effect for doing more proper squat just before squatting? Thanks
I get a pinch at the front of my hip but I can get my knee to my chest, I don't have access to a band or a pole to wrap it around to do the excercise, what are some other exercises I can do to get rid of the pinch? Do I need to work on it even if I can get my knee to my chest without my other leg coming up?
Hi Dr. Aron Been trying to efficiently incorporate this form of squats bare foot during my mobility sessions. & lucky enough my foot under starts to hurt when i put on shoes + while walking i feel some unbarable sensation underneath.
gees like it, how did you guys get such big legs, how the hell. i am so skinny it will take me ages to get that I just got in to the gym again (different life) and i am really struggling to get recovered my muscles take 2-3 days to get better. My worst one is my low back or i dont know what u call it, but its like lower spine kind of like the line of your under wear , its very painful when i sit or bend, and its only from recent exercise at the gym, maybe i hurt myself...? or my core is terribly weak? Ive been doing no exercise and mainly sitting at my for ages. If i try to do a sit up now, i cant its very very sore.
I can touch my knee to my chest, however in my left hip o get a pop every now and then (more often than not) and when I have weight on my squat I see one hip dips lower. Occasionally this causes me pain. Will this help or am I looking at an issue with my hips shifting and not really a stance issue?
counting the pages you may have mild femoral acetabular impingement. Nothing you can really do other than stretch and strengthen surrounding muscles. If it hurts try not to go too hard as it can cause labrum damage and pain
I dont have pain in my actual hip but instead lower back which feels a like a nerve. It impacts my entire leg when it is acting up. The back, knee and ankle will at times ache :( I was a dancer for 15 years and a competitive long distance runner, so I wonder if it is popping hip syndrome. I will bring this possibility at my first physical therapy appt this Monday. Thanks for the response! I am googling this now and looking forward to what the PT might think. :)
Its a tightness, thats my description. My quads are dominant, thru hours of researching Either my squats make it tight and flexibility goes or glutes need be woken to contract.
“To provide accurate information to consumers, the American Physical Therapy Association has taken a proactive approach and provides clear guidelines for physical therapists regarding the use of the title "Doctor." These guidelines state that physical therapists, in all clinical settings, who hold a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree (DPT) shall indicate they are physical therapists when using the title "Doctor" or "Dr," and shall use the titles in accord with jurisdictional law” - President of the American Physical Therapy Association. Pretty funny considering this Aaron guy tries to use Dr. in his title as often as possible. In other words, you’re not a real doctor, stop calling yourself one in every situation possible.
Really, I just watched to see those toes! But then the guy was on his back, hairy leg up, thick manly thigh and crotch, and the instructor was touching him to illustrate....and I lost a load, or 2!
How the fuck can people call themselves a doctor without being one????? It ruins the actual people who put it 6 years of hard work to get a phd , and this shit is only going on in America.
He is a doctor in Physical Therapy, It's not the same as a physician. It's just an extra year of school now, and almost a requirement for every person getting a degree in physical therapy. That may be what John was getting at, it's def not the same type degree.

That knee really pops!
This is what i was looking for. Took about a year to find this info...
this is great!
What I've learnt so far is that I have rubbish ankle mobility (already knew that though), but I have amazing hip mobility.
same here :/
Opposite for me
These videos are a huge help still going back to them every other month, top job!
very helpful, thank you :)

But, the question is can we expect some long term effects of these mobility exercises and should we being more motivate for it especially if they produce enough effect for doing more proper squat just before squatting?

Should you ensure neutral position is adopted on Thomas test as hip flexors can appear positive if pelvis in posterior tilt.
Good stuff. Thanks a lot :)

Hi Dr. Aron
Been trying to efficiently incorporate this form of squats bare foot during my mobility sessions. & lucky enough my foot under starts to hurt when i put on shoes + while walking i feel some unbarable sensation underneath.
the prt with the band for the hip i need to try this i have hip flexer problems and it sucks
What type of band is he using when stretching out the hip and pressing the knee?
If you do the hip mobility test and you feel tightness in your butt what should you do?
Is it necessary to use a band when doing the stretch drill?
What type of band do you guys get for the the band stretch. I mean you go with the tighter one 140lb one?
Can you do with captioning? I'm Brazilian and I do not know English.
If the toe turn out external rotation more like ITB, how about toe turn in internal rotation?
That pinching sensation is probably hip impingement
my left ankle main issue but i do have tight right hip . help plz
gees like it, how did you guys get such big legs, how the hell.
i am so skinny it will take me ages to get that
I just got in to the gym again (different life) and i am really struggling to get recovered my muscles take 2-3 days to get better.

I'm investigating treating tight hip flexors at home and found a fantastic resource at Fergs pain ease (check it out on google)
Really, I just watched to see those toes! But then the guy was on his back, hairy leg up, thick manly thigh and crotch, and the instructor was touching him to illustrate....and I lost a load, or 2!

Minuto 2:6. Si ubiean sido gay esto ubiera terminado en otra cosa 😲
How the fuck can people call themselves a doctor without being one????? It ruins the actual people who put it 6 years of hard work to get a phd , and this shit is only going on in America.
John Penrose what are you talking about He is a doctor.
