Hip flexor and shoulders are important parts for your performance. It is common to see people doing mobility in a gym. It might prevent you from injuries and improve your gain. So, fixing poor hip flexor and rounded shoulders are essential to make progress without break.
You could hurt joints a lot If you had poor posture. The meaning you can’t flex hip and have rounded shoulders is that your body can’t absorb force. In order to create progress overload, working out with intensity should be needed. However, If you had poor posture and didn’t fix it, you would end up with getting injured and slowing down your progress.
It is impossible to avoid all injures by mobility training. However, you may reduce risk of injuries. Whatever you do, you flex your hips and use shoulders everyday. Whether you work out or not, If you don’t fix problems in your body, you will be supposed to face them later. Even elite athletes train mobility hard before they work out.
There are a lot of mobility videos. What you need to do is find out what works for you and apply it to your program. Even though It seems like doing mobility work everyday wastes your time, It it much better than having injuries and seeing a doctor frequently.
I will try these, but i cant feel my back muscles, even tho i go to the gym, i did many back exercises with equipment and ive been doing that for the past year, but my back is still super weak, because when i do the exercises i just cant feel my back muscles and my arms are the ones who do the job when its the back which should do the job, and when i need to do pullups its torture, i can only do 3-4 and that only brcause of the arm strenght and when my arms get tired out, that’s it, and i try to activate the back muscles to work but i cant feel them:(
does anything of those exercises also work the hip flexor? cause I know that’s not suppose to be tight
Tight psoas and cycling = agh.
7:00 reminds me of the George Costanza photo shoot from Seinfeld.
these are great and overlooked exercises for karate training as well.
Didn’t even get to the point until over half the video. Background music makes this painful to listen to!!
Finally! I’ve been looking for something to help me stop activating my hipflexors when I’m doing leg raises.
I am def going to try this right before my next abb workout to deactivate the psoas. Thanks for the tip!
In the first test…. what if your leg is flat against the bench but your knee doesn’t bend to the 80degree mentioned. Does this still mean tight RFemoris? If I straighten my leg it doesn’t change that me leg is already flat on the bench ��
yeah, but how many repetitions per day do we do, without over-doing it?
great…but what if one has a bunion, like me for instance, my balance’s been compromised, also it’s hard to keep steady posture while standing on one foot, the one with the bunion..some advise there?.i really need help..if you have some bunion solutions, advises, exercises that’d be great..problems are really comin from the bottom up
thanks!
Hey I am still not sure what to do, there is a weakness but the front of my hips feel so tight and painful I use to not be able to stand up straight, I kept having to push myself up, as if my muscles had atrophied in a sitting position, I also had a lot of weakness in the core muscles. 9 years ago I was paralyzed when 2 fungi attacked my upper spine. I hv3 been slowly getting stronger but that tight feeling remains. I feel the stretching helps but there is weakness. I feel I need both but from what your saying it is one or the other…..
Fuck dude I’ve had back pain but always was super flexible in the hips, and stretching all the hip flexors and stuff always felt amazing now I realize it’s just my weak ass ass that’s failing me.
The number of videos that say Stop DOING THIS! Most of us end up doing nothing, just to play it safe.
It works!! I can’t believe it!:O I’ve been suffering from snapping hips for YEARS on my right hip flexor and after just doing these 3 simple exercises once I saw results. No longer do my right hip flexors click when I do a plank or when I try to raise my leg. When I do mountain climbers, I still hear the familiar pop from my right hip flexor, but I will continue these exercises for two weeks and see if it goes completely away. Thanks to this video I feel hope now that I’ll be finally free of the snapping hips. Thanks so much for this video and for getting straight to the point with the exercises. A valuable 3:24 min spent.:)
here’s a few things for treating tight hip flexors at home
Gradually start walking further per day
Try an anti-inflammatory diet
Consider trying yoga lessons
Checkout some online guides
(I read these and the reasons they work on Fergs pain ease site )
The amount of sexual tension built up in that room ���� I can only imagine how “Lonnie” feels ����
Brad couldn’t contain himself @ 7:16 Lmao Had to let out a lil hump or he was gonna spontaneously combust
Actually my psoas muscle is so tight from me sitting and not stretching that my hip is locked up and pulled some stuff out of alignment. Is there a way to fix that?

Wow, Goggins was right. Marine vet here. Did one stretch and it released my tension from my neck down my shoulders and arms, down my legs, my entire erector spine… legs feel loose. Omg.

Thank you so much for this! Indeed a major lack of exercise regimens like this out there
Hi Jeff,
What if I don’t have tight hip flexor and when I test if my hip flexor is weak, when I lift my leg from the box, I feel pain?
What’s the cause and what should I do? Should I keep practice hip flexor or no?
Thanks

Love the simplicity of this move. I will be trying it on my client who is hip flexor dominate. Thanks guys!
When I attempted to do the standing test of holding my knee and releasing it, I feel a sharp pain in the groin area… no bueno! What should I do?
Do we really have to do specific reps each exercise? What if some are easy and others too hard? Isn’t it more correct to do them for a specific set of time?
My hip flexors are weak, my glutes are weak, my chest is weak, my quads are weak, my arms are weak…. 6 months of working out and mostly I’ve just got injured
There are other options other than this video..the link is below

I’m assuming my hip flexor is my problem. When I back squat now it hurts at the point where my quad meets my hip on the left side. I also walk weird using the same leg and always have is this actually a hip flexor problem and are these exercises right? When I do these exercises I am able to with ease as well as any other leg exercise it literally is only back squats that give me great pain in my hip flexor area. Thank you
This video could not have come at a better time… Incorporating this into my daily warmup!
I’m going to be using this for ballet! Need a lot of strength to lift up my full straightened leg up high.
Will this muscle cause outer pain over the top of the pelvic bone and down the low back into the tailbone? I am in a lot of pain with Fibromyalgia today and rain isn’t helping. Thanks for your video.
Hi, Chad, I have had osteo arthritis since I was 10 it has since then moved to my ankles. I am now 32 and now feeling lower to mid back pain on top of everything else. Just recently within the last year I’ve notice a huge weight gain no natter how much I exercise. Do you think that I could have tight hip flexors?
This video’s great! I was worried a student shared the video and the title concerned me as we do dance and circus arts and often have strong but tight hip flexors, stretching appropriately is important. I know a catchy title is good for getting views, but it was misleading for the great content in the video:D Just a thought.
I’m not a therapist of any kind, and I absolutely couldn’t stop watching this very informative video. Thank you! I’m often looking to learn more about my own body. I had a 5 year old hip flexor strain that I finally got relief from through my own clumsy massaging ( 7wow.cc/rfky ). I thought I’d better find out more about how this muscle group works, and I just learned a ton! I think I’ll recruit the spouse for the next time I need it released
3:31 NOT elevated there. that’s the purpose of the video, to tell you how to stay in a hollow position, not elevating the lower back. lol
Thanks for this tip! I’m trying to rid myself of anterior pelvic tilt and activating the hip flexors can be a problem.
What are some at-home ab exercises that can be done after this?
Hey Dr. Madden, thank you for this video. Just to tell you quickly, I tore my rectus femoris and my labrum in my right hip in January. I am looking to play college football as a field goal kicker so I most likely got injured from overkicking or having weak hip flexors. I do a good stretch out routine before but I seem to still aggravate the muscle. Can you please make another video or comment me back of other hip flexor strengthening exercises. Thank you very much
if i just injured my iliopsoas and want to recover from it, should i do this everyday like 4 sets of the static hold for hip flexors for a minute each set? WIll that prolong recovery? Also, while doing this routine can I also do my normal weight lifting routine 3x a week? (a total body workout at the gym 3 times a week) Will doing these two routines help maintain strength while recovering or will these two routines prolong recovering from the iliopsoas injury? Thank You!
I am uncertain what I should be doing. My hip flexors are sharp and tight, especially after I run, and get progressively worse if I don’t stretch them. Once I do stretch them, the pain goes away. However, I have lower back pain whenever I do core exercises, and the ‘try to hold your leg up past 90 degrees’, makes the outside of my support leg feel sharp and crampy. So, should I stretch or are those muscles just weak? Should I stretch AND those muscles are weak?
Is it possible for a hip flexor to be both tight AND weak? Where you would start?
I have no access to a gym, but I wantttt to stay fitttt. These videos are a blessing. Much appreciated.
someone sugguested for me to strethen my hip flexors to relieve knee pain is that right?
I kicked a football and popped my hip out because I have weak joints can this help with that or would there be something else I would have to do
what about not just up and down? like opening the hips side to side. Im a Martial arts fighter and ive been experiencing pain in the flexor area while kicking. doesnt feel like muscle though, feels lint its with the hip joint
Hi B & B love your vids but I have a quick qu with psoas what if the pain is around the attachments in the back, as all these exercises seem to focus on the frontal attachment? I’m a runner and my issue starts at the back along the spine. thnx
Thank you very much. This channel is perfect for (APT). It’s really helpful. I recently noticed I have some Anterior pelvic tilt.. I was so scared what would happen, so I started searching how to get rid of this, and now I finally found a perfect one.. Waiting for more. ��✌��
Jeff kind of looked like a marionette puppet lifting his knee up real high like that. Haha no idea where that came from but it made me laugh
Dude this is incredible advice thank you so much man you guys are awesome and im so happy i found this video. Im going to try it but from a body mechanic perspective it makes so much sense as to why this works.
Tried the glute squeeze and lumbar flexion at the gym today only took 25 years at the gym to properly activate the abs but hey better late than never I guess! You guys are amazing…
As an athlete that has struggled with tight hip flexors in the past I feel that these exercises are very helpful. Here is another program that will definitely unlock your hip flexors and boost your flexibility! https://bit.ly/2sW5MI7
will these exercises help stretch ones hip flexors? cause i believe mine are crazy tight
What if I have weakness above 90 degrees hip flex and pelvic tilt at the same time?
With the strengthening exercises, are you also not activated your quad? Surely that negates the purpose of activating psoas alone?
Thanks a lot for these tips! I’m going to start doing them.
I have a question but it’s not hip flexor related. I play soccer once a week but I also do weight-lifting a few times a week. And the problem I’m having is that the days after playing soccer my knees hurt. It’s painful for me to walk up the stairs or even bending down and going back up. The next week, the pain is low and after warming up I don’t feel anything anymore. Should I get this checked?
Thanks a lot.
Aren’t most of these exercises involving the hip flexors, which are already too dominant?
Thanks! I’ll be trying this before my next ab workout. Love your videos!
Correct. Hip flexor over activates is the bane of existence (kinda since we still need these muscles) cause back pain, traps overworked and then shoulder and neck pain, knees medically deviated and then the famous overpronsting of feet.
As I was running at top speed oh, I had to avoid a child in my path. I spun around and eventually just threw myself on the ground. I did not feel anything for 4 days. At which point I was walking across the floor and I felt a pain shoot up my quad. My hip flexor was very tender and still is after 2 weeks. It has improved 50%, thank you for these exercises
I will seek medical treatment if necessary, but I just want to get back in the marathon game. I am familiar with Cincinnati sports medicine. They treated my son for torn ACL when we were living there
Hey guys!! super important info, thank you so much!! I have a question for you if I may, I came across one of those old myths, and I wish to get some insight from you, the myth goes like this: “if someone has a fat belly that person shouldn’t do abs exercises because this cause the fat to solidify under and in between the muscular layers and is more difficult to eliminate”
i’d like to thank u for showing 3 exercises that i can actually do, but MOST IMPORTANTLY, u didn’t tell me to get down on the floor. (can’t get back up)
I can finally do three sets without a struggle. Thanks again. Getting some huge gains on my shoulder flexibility too using your stretches combined with intermittent flexing for 10 second intervals. Also, memorized the super set.
Hip flexor dominance drives me mad. Ive been looking for this tip for years! Amazing!
Thanks for this video. I watched one that suggested I stretch my hip flexors but then saw your video and found out I just have weak hips. Now i know how to get those babys worked out without damaging them. Thanks again ✌��
Great video!!!!! but please spare us that silly music. It’s all over you tube and I feel like I’m getting dumber only by being exposed to it.
good precise info, hips can be a nightmare and you describ well
Oh my gosh the difference at the end was incredible! Thank you, subscribed and clicked the bell! ��
I’m happy I found this. When doing exercises like russian twists, leg raises etc. my hip flexors would get so tired and it was almost impossible for me to do these exercises and I didn’t know what was the problem or how to fix it. Now I know. Thanks guys!
I’m half way through and I just want to say, this is the best muscle and tendon information I’ve ever seen on the internet. This is outstanding information, and presented better than anyone ever has.
That was great! Thank you for this video. So I’ve noticed psoas is tight in most of people but also weak. Should we stretch it before strengthening it then stretch again?
i get a cracking in the hips during the dead bugs is that safe?
I have anterior pelvic tilt which makes doing abs a little difficult
watching this in 2020 during the COVID-19 outbreak, at home in self-quarantine!! a good time to address imbalances and weaknesses in the body. this exercise is simple and effective even as a beginner not a bro, athlete or anywhere near as strong any of you and i was still able to do this and feel it in my core, rather than my hip flexors. lol. thank you for the video!
Hi, great workout, but wondering if you could re-record the video with softer music. shouldn’t women and men be doing different exercises for this problem due to anatomical differences? If yes, would be great to see a video on that.
Wow! Sometimes we DONT KNOW what we DONT KNOW! Neat little hip flexor article I found. Truth or Click bait? https://zip1ink.com/k7
I really enjoy your videos. You both have a wonderful way with one another. And I learn so much. Thank you both
I’ve always wondered why I have anterior tilt and now I understand. Thanks Bob and Brad. ����������
Should I remember to keep my abs engaged to help keep my back strong while doing these exercises?
Omg! I have been in the military for going on 13 years. Doing sit-ups for all my APFTs and not able to max them like I should because my hip flexors can not stand to do the whole 82. They give out! I know that if I can reactive them I can go the distance and really max my sits up. Thank you so much for this video. I stumbled on your channel and have been stalking y’all every since. Amazing content!
thank you for this!! my hip flexors kill me after doing any ab exercises and this helped a lot:)
I\’m not sure but,if anyone else
nts to learn about aching hip flexorsbest workout for hips try Nevolly Hip Relief Nerd (should be on google have a look )? Ive heard some decent things about it and my partner got great results with it.
I’ve had lower back pain for last year and really messed up my lower back, Physio’s said train your abs but my lower back was hurting constantly and the Physio’s didn’t know what the problem was, I went to some expensive physio and she said I have hip flexor dominant and lower back dominant where they take all the pressure and not my glutes, my lower back since been getting better and she taught me how to train abs properly she talked about deactivating hip flexor and how to deactivate hip flexor, these guys talking about the same thing, THESE GUYS KNOW THEIR SHITTTTTT!! Channel needs more attention
Bert and Ernie do physio ������ these two are informative and understatedly funny
What about the people saying you should never do leg raising exercises with apt because of strengthening the hip flexors even more, thus causing more tilt.
Can you please explain why it isnt good to stretch the hip flexor if they arent weak?
Amazing! These guys have saved me so much pain. I can finally get back to running now.
What muscles are in your back that help you from standing up straight
Yo, I’ve got an anterior pelvic tilt so I could barely feel any ab workouts in my core, this just helped that drastically

When I walk for very long or run very little I experience a lot of hip pain in the front of hip (usually more in right hip than left). I want to do a lengthy hike/climb this summer but don’t want to damage anything doing it. I’m anxious to try the first two you showed-how many times a week is best for a physical therapy/strengthening effect? Should I do it every day?
Thanks a lot for your advice! I’ve actually got a scoliosis and my PT told me that my knees are hurting because of an overload on my nerves or something like that. So now we’re doing sessions to fix my back and I’m starting to do stretching.
I start feeling it in my neck instead when I do this, can anyone help me fix that?
It doesn’t work for me. When I do this move, my hip flexors get really tight. When I squeeze my glutes, my hip flexors also squeeze.
Hey Jeff, trainer here. What if it causes pain on the outside of the hip like you mentioned. Do you have the client still do the test as the exercise even though it’s causing them pain? Explain to them it’s like poking the bear, etc?
Finally understand this,been struggling with how to tell in Thomas test to see if it’s Posas or rectus femoris tight or not,I get confused
Alright… But what if I have fine hip flexibility, and I can catch my knee above 90 degrees, yet still I find my self debilitated from hip flexor pain/tightness?
When I lift my leg a muscle towards the inside of my leg hurts. What does that mean? Which move should I do?
It’s a good workout but this shitty, overly loud music completely ruins it for me
I sure would like to see more. First time I see something that I feel is accurate and WELL EXPLAINED. My problem is weakness and tightness CENTER front right in the crease of the front of my right leg, a little closer to the groin. I have never been able to get the back of my thigh flat on the bench since my first hip replacement on the right side. this problem comes and goes. A few minutes ago the first time I lifted my leg and place my foot on a chair in front of me, I felt like I had to pick it up manually and place up there. Just from doing those tests I can now pick it up to 90 degree angle? I had one total replacement on that side, about 27 years ago, and a partial re-replacement with two screws about a little over a dozen years ago. I am soon to be 83 years old and still teaching ballet. Where can I see more on this subject?
Hm, Bret Contreras “The glute guy”, says that the further you put the feet away the more hamstring activation…best 90 degrees. U can check it at his “10 Steps To The Perfect Hip Thrust” post
I’ve been doing some research because no matter how many ab routines I do, it’s always my hip flexors that walk away burning. Hopefully this helps
Any idea what to do if my left glute won’t fire? My left abs are also very weak. I’m trying to strengthen my left abs so I can hopefully eventually fire the glute. I’ve tried everything in the world to fire up the glute and it won’t work. So I’m going to try to strengthen the left abs to try and give the pelvis some stability first. Any help would be appreciated.
Why do I feel it in my hamstrings? My legs are more than a 90 degree angle like they say, and I even used a mirror to check my position, but I feel it in my hamstrings and it’s too uncomfortable to hold the position…. any ideas why or how to adjust?
How exactly do you push your lower back to the ground on the first exercise?
Holy crap!! I can not believe how much this helps after just a few days. Been stretching these like crazy and the second I would hop on my skateboard I could feel my hipflexors getting so tight. Issue completely gone, I still have ptsd from my hips being so tight though.
Your videos are amazing!! I been suffering from one side symptoms, left side is tight and right side feels loose. Any tips how I can fix it?
What if I have anterior pelvic tilt, but my psoas doesn’t test as tight or weak? For what it’s worth, my back seems to have an exaggerated S shape, very hard for me to straighten it. 40-year-old 135 pound male.
Recently I injuries my hip flexor while playing soccer. Honestly it feels fine running, jumping and doing anything but once I kick a soccer ball the pain comes right back. I took a break for 4 weeks and I really want to get back to paying so if any one has some tips that would be great. By the way I’m 13 and am in a pretty major growth spurt and have been dealing with a lot of injuries so maybe this one just needs time.
I swear I struggle engaging my abs so much and even doing this my hip flexors and hamstrings are holding me up even when I’m squeezing my butt. Frustrating as fuck
What does it mean when I am doing the dynamic test and my leg goes all the way down to the floor; so not up or 90? I have pain on the quad where it hinges to lift the leg up.
Good video well done. Can I ask please if using the step machine at the gym will develop and build the hip flexors?
I have spent months researching treating tight hip flexors at home and discovered a fantastic website at Fergs pain ease (check it out on google)
Gonna try this today! Been having so much pain in my hip flexors and I haven’t been seeing the ab results I need and I now know why! Thank you so much for this, stuff like this on the internet is invaluable
when performing these stretches is it not recommended to warm up the muscle first rather than pulling them cold, as I have done this and felt pain in the PSOAS muscle
Thank you for sharing these and not making us read 10 pages of junk to sell a video with exercises on it. These seem fairly easy and basic for us folks just wanting a bit more mobility.
I am doing the second exercise with weights….I am wondering whether it is good for hypertrophy
Found this video because I have overactive hip flexors and am looking for a solution because physio hasnt been helping. But I cant seem to flex my glutes without also activating my hip flexors, even in this exercise
I’m 69, I have very hard time doing this stretch,my sacrilliac hurts…
And I’m sure a lot of people tell you all kind of names and everything I’m not a doctor I don’t know nothing about nothing I’m trying to find out some relief or some help
Surely you have tight hip flexors if you spend 10-12 hours sitting a day?
My hips are popping a lot and I don’t know why. My hips are also noisy when they pop. It doesn’t hurt at all. And my hips popped alot with the 2nd exercise. I do have tight hips but I am a 17 yr old dancer, gymnast, and runner and I’m flexible. I have ordered a foam roller to try to help loosen my IT band. Are my hips just really weak? Should I continue to do the hip exercises shown in this video if they are causing them to pop? Thanks in advance:) and I stopped growing about 2 years ago.
Really I like it I love it, it’s very very useful for us thank u ������
Start a cult. I’ll drink the koolaid. Thanks for all the great videos.
I did the hollow body hold just like you said (first progression) but my lower back was still hurting during it and I didnt feel it in my abs
On the deadbugs: 3 x 8 10 each side is a little confusing, but I think it was just an accident and he either meant 3 x 8 or 3 x 10, while reminding people to not count one side as a full rep.
Also, personally, I like working along to these videos, and mid exercise, getting up to stop what I’m doing so I can do the full sets before the next part plays and having the music stop is a bit distracting. Just some feedback, I know this vid is old.:)
Would it be possible for you to do a full routine video of this workout where you go through the entire routine on camera, uncut, so that the viewers can do the whole thing with you from start to finish?
Tried lifting the left leg off of a chair above 90 and something was pulling me sideways. Any idea what that would be?
Thank you so much. Right now we are dealing with COVID-19 so I’m stuck at home. I’m in so much pain.
This was so helpful
I’ve always been taught that your knees should not go past your ankles when doing squats…it looks like yours are…have I been taught wrong my whole life? Or are my eyes playing tricks on me?
i dont think that if you have weak hip flexors you need to stop stretching them. on the contrary, strengthen them at the end range of motion in flexion and extention, thats the only true balance and joint health
undervision of my trainer/PT/Physio.. they just want my money which I was told that I am unemployee and got me into income (embrassment) so its not helping. I do need a lot help right inside flexor hip that little stuck. Its look like need charaptic (spell)
Does anyone else feel like their back is being over worked in the deadbug?
Great videos man. Always gives me a lot to think about. keep it up!
Thank you so much me/csf and fibromyalgia feels better for me doing this gently.
Thanks for making this video! I’ve been trying to track down the source of some back pain that started out of the blue and I’ve been making progress via stretching for a couple of days now. The check for psoas weakness was something that I’ve been looking for!
Ok guys I have a question for you, I have constant lower back pain just above my belt line on my left hand side but I have noticed my right foot seem to be pointing outwards a lot more than my left foot! would this be cause by tight Psoas? looking forward to some help. cheers..
One question: Is it a good sign to feel a little pain in the lower back when doing these exercises xD? (Especially when i do the dead bugs)
I am deaf and not good grammar. that’s why almost everyone is confuse it.. sigh. only I can call you thru relay so interpreter will explain to you.. more clear to understand.. I need your phone nbr
Great video!!
Im going to use alot of these to help my core.
I had a question about your squat though.
I noticed that your knees, went past your feet. I was told by several instructors and trainers that knees past the feet is poor ROM and a proper squat should have your knees above your feet, never passing your toes.
Im at work so i could listen to it out loud, so im not sure if you mentioned if you did that for a reason or not.
interesting points,if anyone else wants to learn about causes of tight hip flexors try Letza Joint Relief Lessons ( search on google )? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my colleague got excellent results with it.
Please help! when I squeeze my glutes, do I tuck my pelvis or should it stay the neutral, slightly curved position.
I’ve been doing different hip flexor stretches for weeks and I don’t see any improvement. What do you suggest to fix this, hurts like hell on my right side to walk at times?
I am playyed cod as i was young from mw to black ops two and now im trying to get my bones into a human looking position again:D!

Love the videos. This one especially is really good. Music is too loud though and it sucks really bad. Also, it would be nice if the videos were full length workouts with timing ques.
This was informative but at same time I thought I was watching a tim and Eric sketch
What if all three of those moves hurt my hip flexor and there is pain?
I came from a video of Jeff saying to stretch my hip flexors and I now can’t before i finish watching the video
About 2 weeks ago my 8 year old son started his second year of football. The first year his coach commented on the way he ran. He runs heavy putting his heels down first on impact. This year we noticed his left foot was turned inward. His father is a very active person as I am as well. It was hard to watch him try to lift his knees with so much effort and no much result. Little did I know it was because of weak hip flexors. It has been caused by sitting in a “w”. Thank you for the exercises.
Sorry if this has already been asked, but how long do you recommend resting between sets?
Thanks a lot! you are very precise with the explanations and is also fun to learn watching you! thanks
Hey my name’s Matt, and 2 and a half years ago I woke up and my back pain was so bad I wanted to vomit and cry, in short I have never been able to sleep without pain, I have seen osteopaths, physios you name it I have seen them.
Only recently I started to do my own research and it turns out my protruding butt isn’t a great arse it’s APT. I guess after years of having a deep arch in my back it finally went, or something did.
I saw a sports therapist and they have told me I have muscle atropy in my glutes and they have recently given me exercises to do. I’m hoping them and the exercises you’ve been suggesting will one day help me get some sleep and spend just one day without pain.
Sometimes it can be so frustrating to remember how life was like before shit happened and how it is now, but I’m going to work on it, and really try now I know what could be causing the pain I’m in.
Ive done these three exercises and I have seen positive results. Do you have any more that you can suggest?
Hip flexor dominate here, and ever since hearing of this approach on the podcast I’ve incorporated it into my routine. Very good stuff!
Thank you!!! I am very quad and hip flexor dominate so this is really going to help. It has always been a struggle to engage my lower abs
wow dude you killin it man! got me totally hooked to your channel.
Do you think barbell squat is bad for you? I feel that it ruined my back. I’m not doing it anymore. Instead i do squat without weight like in this video.
Very informative and good information. Thank you, this pointed me in the write direction
My hip flexors don’t activate and my lower back is fine but now my upper back takes over what im i doing wrong?
To anyone debating on doing this I did this work out one time yesterday I’ve been training the last year I woke up this morning could see my entire six pack like I’ve never seen it before this pretty much fix me in one work out so I imagine if you stay on it and have a serious problem this all definitely work
but doesn’t the squat build your rectoris femoris which are already too tight with people that have apt? Isn’t that counter productive?
This explains everything I’ve been dealing with for years! Thank you!
I have a pelvic tilt which I’m working on fixing and this is very helpful!
On the excersices that we have to be on our back all the back is flat to the ground? When I move mine is not flat
can you tell me exercises or stretches for a inguinal ligament strain please?
I’d say that the stretch you are discouraging if your hip flexors are too weak are fine as long as they stretch your rectus femoris (aka when you have weak psioas and tight quads).
i will try this exercise now. very interesting. i have hip flexor pain for months thats holding me back when playing basketball and whenever i do scissors and lower abs workout. hope this will work. i will update soon
What if you pass both tests but still have an anterior pelvis?
When I do this, and allot of ab exercises where my legs are straight something pops in my hips with no pain, but it makes it hard to control the motion of my legs especially when I’m hanging.
So helpful! I was stretching when in fact I should have been strengthening!!
Hopefully the pain will now go away and I can run again ��♀️
everything is okay except the first part. When I was going lay back and pulled both knees up and dropped one my leg cannot touch the ground and my knees went close to 75 degrees not 90. The rest of them I can done acceptable. So what should I do?
Question, I can hold my leg up, but I can feel it cramp a bit, and I can feel literal knots in my hip flexors, that means they’re tight, right?
Why can’t I keep my legs bent at the knees like you? When I try to squeeze the glutes, my legs automatically go straight and there is pain in my knees. What is wrong?
This definitely helps with my central core but I’m not getting a whole lot of activation in my lower abs, anything else I can do?
Thnx my hip kills me to, I’m going to try the hip weakness exercise ������������
You are awesome bro….
Thanks for doing this.
I think i got both!!! One side need stretching and the other need to be tighten..
Any ideas?? The heavy side effects my shoulder duo to the extra wight
Just started adding Sprint workouts to my post HIIT routine and my God my hip flexors ached but before stretching I had a vague memory of Jeff saying something about this very thing and sure enough. Glad my memory held on to that last tidbit of this video otherwise I’d be needlessly stretching right now
This is amazing. I’m like three years late to learning about you guys. But, better late than never!
Can anyone help me? I was able to keep my leg suspended above 90 degrees for 15 seconds and I was also able to pull my knee up and keep the other leg flat against the bench but when I do sit-ups my lower back hurts at 10 sit-ups
Is it possible to have anterior pelvic tilt without a weak core? Because i can easily do 50 pushups in one set, wouldn’t that be difficult for someone with a weak core? I was under the impression that someone with a weak core would struggle with pushups?
I’ve got a bit of lordosis curvature do you reckon it’s from a weak flexor??
Searching home workout guide in youtube is funny…when we started to follow some video, another video pop ups just to tell us what we’ve already done was wrong and danger…..����������
This is a good one, thankyou Sarah! I have hip joint OA and impingment and SI dysfuntion too….so that whole area is painful and tight….so this helps alot.
Thank u!
I am a PTA & have been struggling with this exact issue:/
This segment was brought to you by “Bob & Brad’s ultra stretch non rip dress pants”
That first exercise is IT. Thank you so much, I just did 5 minutes of the 30s leg raises and my hip stopped popping when afterwards I tried some movements I’ve had problems with. Obviously I need to do these a lot more in the upcoming weeks in order to improve and be able to run again, but I can’t believe it actually helped. Really, thank you thank you!

Thank you very much for this. I’ve had a hip problem for over a year.
If I have a bad hip will there be pain in the groin when doing exercises? Because I’ve had pain for 3 years
Tried this, felt it in the abs a bit, but still some back pain in the middle of back. Any ideas?? Good channel btw wish this came out earlier haha
Somebody help I keep looking for exercises to fix pelvic tilt but I think I am doing something wrong because when I do the exercises I can’t feel myself going back into normal posture.
If you have weak hips and you sit down alot, shouldn’t you stretch them since they get tight?
Thank you so much for giving me this information Sal! This video was tremendously helpful and I will never be able to thank you enough for this.
Is it possible to have weak and tight hip flexors and if so, how do you respond to it?
First and foremost, if the muscles of the hamstrings are tight, coulc.it/painfix they are more susceptible to tearing. No matter if you’re an elite athlete, stay-at-home-mom or average Joe, a muscle tear in the back of your legs can take months to heal and recover from making life very challenging.
stretch hip flexors. rest hip flexors. ice hip flexors. repeat. remember, resting a few more days could be the difference between having a fully healed hip flexor, or an injured one that could take several months to recover from. so start up again when you feel its time.
Im super tired of stretching with a vid and then finding another that says “don’t do it that way” and AFTER that, found ANOTHER ONE that says “don’t do it THAT way” ����
I know I have problems with my psoas muscle. But I’m hyper flexible so stretching feels real good but it takes a lot to stretch me.
Can this muscle pull a testicle up on one side of the body? I have over 5 ultrasounds and theres no testicle torsion or physical problems to my penis or testicles. My left testicle aches and pulls up and just feels out of place. ALL doctors said I’m completely fine physically. I have back pains and weak ejaculation.
Ok I fail to pass the first test, my leg wont drop to the bench. I have tight flexors. Which are the best exercises to do?
Are you supposed to rest between sets? Help im really confused
I had a baaaad muscle spasm in my left psoas 3 months ago, was literally stuck between my bed and dresser for an hour because I couldn’t move from the pain and when I was able to finally lay down I was stuck for another 4. I’m just now getting it treated cause I had no idea what it was and I couldn’t do anything without it flaring up. Doing A.R.T right now (sucks big time but I feel like it helping release it), definitely going to try these stretches at home!
Absolutely awesome!!!! This is going to be my new morning routine ���������� my core is my biggest weakness causing all sorts of imbalances and pain in my left side, hip, shoulder, etc.
in the first test my leg didnt go down until i straightened it which means i have a quad tightness right? how do i fix this
If you are looking for the best workouts guide you should check these guides from Unflexal.
Here’s part 2! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3Gp3dL2owY&t=49s
Have a headache? You might just need to strengthen your toes
My rectus femoris (sounds like harry potter) is tigjt but NY psoas seems fine…what can I do? Thanks!
Mind blown! Always thought they were tight but, alas, they’re not!!
I hurt my back about 5 years ago and my lower back hurts me so bad sometimes to wear if I do too much I’ve been down I want to fall frontwards because my back muscles are so weak before I hurt my back I’ve never had that problem I’ve been to chiropractors doctors I got a appointment with the orthopedic specialist in a few weeks I don’t know what else to do about my situation
I have the opposite issue. Posterior left tilt from lifting and setting down a large tube tv. Need to fix this after 6 months of messing with it.
Guy made so clear
Yes guys I was doing this and which unknowingly doing this with hip flexure weakness and got muscle cramps
After hearing Sal talk about this on the podcast I was curious on how to do it. Thanks for this and all the other visuals!
My psoas seems to deactivate once the hip is less than 90 degrees flexed. How can I tell it to keep working under 90 degrees? RF is not supposed to pull that load on by itself…
Duuuuuuuuude. I have A HUGE hip flexor weakness and I never would’ve adressed it correctly. THANK YOU. Next thing, I’ll look for info on hip rotators.
Funny how even the young ones struggle with back pain. Ever since I was in Middle school, it painful to do ab exercises such as leg raises. It wasn’t that I couldn’t do it; it was that pain that would shoot through my lower back. Regardless, I ignored the pain, thinking it was that my abs were weak. Well, it turns out it’s my hips. Thanks for your help
I downloaded the free back pain information from your website talking about how even your diet and overeating affect the back. I am finally feeling better.
would that stop my hips from clicking when doing exercises?
Tried this in my routine and it made a huge difference. Could only do half as many leg raises and it felt completely different. Think I’m still overusing the hip flexors, but it is a great start. Thanks guys.
I’m ok lying down but when I drop leg over side ouch, it really hurts my back. Between this muscle AND upper ham string tight…lots of pain…to much sitting at work is killing me. I am going to physical therapy but they haven’t worked much in this area, mostly working on my back pain �� Dr.s want to give me injections and worst. I’m staying with Bob & Brad. Great explanation guys.
i love this channel so much but i dont agree with this video. i have been stretching my hip flexors for the fast couple months and i definitley think my hips are way looser than they were before and my patellar tendonitis is almost 100% gone. Not saying that stretching is better than strengthening by any means but i do think its very very important to stretch a lot
stretch everything, strengthen everything, takes the bs out of the equation
Holy fuck somebody summarize this for me. Im lazy ass couch potato
This is excellent. It was great you added the check before and after. I definitely noticed a difference.
I feel more stretch in the quads/tfl when doing the thomas test
Thanks. That’s what I was trying to find. Really good workout + fix pelvic tilt.
Thanks man. Appreciated. I’m learning to kick solidly and this will help that.
Shouldnt this be weak and the tight muscle is the ql. Because it’s the ql that’s gonna be shortened with anterior pelvic tilt.
Half the people here are because of the Rogin Goggins podcast.
OK so what happens if I do the test, I don’t have tightness in either the quad or the hip flexors, but when I do the strength test, I don’t feel the side of my hip getting sore I feel the same spot that’s sore/tight. right at the front of the hip (where the top of the crease formed by my thigh and torso ends). It feels like there’s a few cables that are running through there. I can’t fire my glute fully either on that side. Also I do have a lot of pain in my lumbar area on the same side as the hip flexor soreness. Help!
I’ve been using furniture sliders for years now, great for planche lean planks and glute bridge reverse Nordic curls (a good warm up for knee tendons before a weighted or plyo squat day)
Your vids are very great and informative, but you really should work on your sound quality and design. Having to set my speakers volume to max and than down again every time you play the music in post processing is very annoying.
I have this problem and was concerned why it did not get better with stretching. Thank you Athlean X!
Please also make video about muscle pain near Iliac crest area as well. I have pain around Iliac crest for two years and so far cannot figure out how to get rid of it.
Great video and helpful information! Thanks a lot!
But the shitty EDM-music is honestly painful to tolerate:(
Anyway, thanks for your tips:) So still thums up 😉
Is it possible to have a tightness is the muscles that bring the knee to hip height but simultaneously have a weakness I the muscles that bring the knee above hip height?
Hello! How can I deactivate my hip flexors when I’m doing a choreographed workout in a gym. I do a 9 track workout and track 9 is a choreographed ab workout. Anything I can do while do the workout to deactivate my hip flexors?
I have a question in the “Straight Leg Race” how many muscles does it take?
just what I love! thanks!
p.s where are your leggings and top from? so cute
So if I get up in the morning and my back on the right side especially is stiff, but a bit of stretching dissipates that, what are the chances that is arthritis? I do have an old back injury there. The stiffness only started this year. I am 69. If I go to yoga regularly I have no problems.
I can’t quite figure this out, it seems like my hip flexors stay flexed even when I flex my glutes. It’s kind of like my whole body tenses up instead of just my glutes. However I did some different ab exercises in high school and it seems like my body remembers how to do them without using my hip flexors so I’m doing those for now.
your left arm is shorter than your right arm when you do the dead bug ex, you should look into it. the left arm doesn’t reach the ground as the right arm
Sir when I do running or sprinting I don’t have any problems
But when I do suits ups and push up I have pain in my hip flexor and it remains for 1 week
I have tried quite a few pilates workouts now and I find Banks Method the best. I can really feel it working and she gives really clear instructions unlike a lot of others. Brilliant. Thank you!
Great material. Lot of information for newbies and beginners. Will definitely help them thumbs up.
Being a cyclist I’d say mine is probably tight, more than weak
Bob and Brad. The two most famous physical therapists on the internet. ��
guys, these are advanced exercises. i dont recommend it for beginners
Ok stop telling lies. I’m a gymnast and stretch my hip flexors every day and I’m perfectly fine
6:49
“It looks like you are uh… thiccer than a sniccer there Bob”
Sir I have little pain in illiac region when I sit or laydown it goes with walk sir can you tell me pain because of these muscles or some other problem I have how I can fix it
I just found you today in 2020 and I love your content! You guys crack me up
Yooo that intro I was funniest as ASF guys keep the good work
This is a fun workout there’s no equipment needed doable any where any time and I feel great,Thankyou ���� Namaste
Hi guys, when you raise your hips off the ground and flex your glutes should you feel absolutely NO tension in your hamstrings? When I flex my glutes it appears my hamstrings also flex too
My leg/hips twang like guitar strings when I try to do ab muscles, so I’m looking forward to trying this
front kicks on the heavy bag also help strengthen these right?
best anterior pelvic tilt workout i have ever seen! (ive seen a lot!)
thanks for sharing, it helped me a lot! your comments during the video: great! compliments!
Is it okay to do the furniture glider exercise with a knee issue?
i was doing a lower abs routine, and the instructor said keep your feet on the floor, which I am not able to do…. or your hip flexors are doing all the work! Well I have a very bad lower lumbar issue and have been doing pilates for years, but not feeling like I am improving my lower abs. Thank you for this exercise and I will follow you now for more tips and exercises.
Hi Chad,
There’s still a slight discomfort/pain on my injured hip flexor, when would u recommend me to start with hip flexor exercise? (currently im having no discomfort/pain during running, kicking the ball during soccer however is a whole different matter)
Thanks for the video:)
Haaahaha first time in your channel and 30 seconds in I had already subscribed ��
Psoas has a silent P — just like in swimming. Thought you’d like that!
When I lift my left leg I feel a lot of effort from my right glute. I feel like I’m compensating but I haven’t been able to narrow down if its glutes, hip flexors or abs
nope. I can lower my leg just fine. I had a thr in 2013 in right hip. I was 38. Now 45. Ever since dislocating my right hip at 13, I’ve had left knee pain. Now at 45, I can see my glutes are very weak along with my thigh muscles. Weak! This stretch felt so good
Hello, i have pain from my left side where my hip is to all the way down to my knee. Any idea what it can be? It goes away for a minute or two when i do the “soccer player kick” it when you swing the leg left to right. but comes back after a while.
I have scoliosis and have developed hip pain. Ive been watching your hip pain videos and doing some of the stretches and where Im getting my relief is from the Psoas ecercises. Thank you! Also, FYI, I am a school bus driver. Could this be contributing?
what is you have both hip flexors and quad tightness/weakness
My hip is no this. I’m experiencing pain in the front of my left hip. It’s the front ileac crest pain. The pain is not in the back. It’s in the front left pain. What causes this?
here’s a few things for treating pain from hip flexor muscles at home
Gradually build up to walking 3 miles per day
Try an anti-inflammatory diet
Think about trying yoga lessons
Checkout some online guides
(I discovered these and the reasons they work on Fergs pain ease website )
Thank you! This sequence was delightful! One suggestion I have is a little more release of the lower back at the end. I have a very tight piriformis so it was quite painful to lie in corpse pose in savasana. To solve this, I did a few supine, slow camel riders ( tinyurl.com/y2htdsl3 ) and a supine twist and then I was able to be comfortable in corpse pose. I hope this helps anyone else with this issue!
Hi guys! I’ve had this really sharp pain in my left leg when I do the stretch at 7:30. It also happens when I’m standing and I lean back a little. Is this still the psoas muscle being tight/weak?
Do you not think, that if you are demonstrating lunges, albeit primarily for the hips, that you should show your whole body… Try zooming out a tad.
Your video is great, but I hope the sound was better so we can follow up
I fell when 12,then several times through life,69 now several things wrong.IT band. Hip,knee core,so I need much help
This is actually like magic. Before, All that would happen would be my hip flexors would hurt and it would feel like I couldn’t move after, but today I did this just for maybe 30 seconds before my workout and I don’t know if it’s placebo or what but my abs burned a lot more during and after the workout. Gonna start doing this every day because it’s just so essential.
Finally! I’m gonna try this and hopefully it works. My TFL is so sore today from doing an ABS day �� gotta try and deactivate that area and let my core do the work.
thanks you guys. I was in a car crash years ago and have had problems since. Recently a chiropractor worked on my lower back and he stretched out that muscle. Since then I have been struggling with back and tendon pain in my lower legs. I tried your stretch on the bed and got immediate relief. Thank you so much
I understand the hypothesis, and tried it, but incredibly awkward and unnecessary. Plenty of other easier and far more functional exercises that successfully work abs over hip flexors.
I’m trying to jump higher, I don’t think I have tightness but that cramp you were talking about for weak hips. Will these exercises help my vertical? Thanks for response.
What else would cause the anterior pelvic tilt? I have this issue but when I checked to see if mine was tight, my leg was able to go down.
Thanks so much for this great comprehensive break down of the Psoas Muscle!
Interesting, for sure. First time I did it wrong, tried to push myself up with elbows or what. Only if you do both the butt raising and the normal crunch movement, you see the difference: working abs without engaging the hip flexors.
Uuuuuuhh wtf is goin on at 7:16 brads givin to Bobbay ������☝����☝��………����������
Hi guys, just did the slide steppers and felt a pain running from my inner groin up toward my pubic hair line… what do you reckon that is?
Can some explain why I feel horrible low back pain when I do this like fucking horrible pain
Sir i have low back pain please recommend which video is relevant and which are not
I have to do hip flexor stretches for my knee rehab, it was given by a physiotherapist.
These are great Hip Flexor exercises! I can now feel my calf and hamstrings relax “disengage” and let the iliopsoa muscles contract “activate/shorten” to pull my leg close to 90 degrees!! Thanks for sharing from a PT perspective
When I squat only my right leg hip area by the Pectineus it locks or it’s way to tight, do you recommend just daily or twice a day stretching/yoga? I have been doing planks before every workout it feels like it’s stronger but still tight. I also think I maybe should just focus on that one side until it balances with the other side my left which has no issues
Great vid! Quick question though, how many reps of this should you be doing? Or at least till what point should you do these?
I cannot thank you guys enough, been dealing with sever lower back pain for almost a year. Ten minutes of stretching and I am pain free. Thank you!!!!!!
I don’t think I have either, I have a snapping hip on my right hip. It clicks when I drop my leg down sometimes
Damn, where the holy hell have you guys been all my life. This was literally made for me������❤
If you want to get any more help with your hip flexor I have used https://tinyurl.com/y83qldhr which has personally helped me and maybe it will for you too
I cannot flex my knee to 90 while sleeping, what could be the reason?
also, I cannot posteriorly tilt the pelvis, is it ok to do planks with it?
No soy bueno con el ingles, creen que lo pueden traducir. Gracias
Hey Man! I am just wondering how often i should do this workout, like evreyday routine?
I walk in circles (to the left), does that mean that my left psoas is tighter/shorter than the right?
interesting points,if anyone else trying to find out good hip flexor stretches try Nevolly Hip Relief Nerd (should be on google have a look )? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my colleague got cool success with it.
The masculinity was threatened when he said touch his butt lmao great video!!! Helped me a lot
should i do this once per week or would every day help better?
Excellent video, and I like the banter between them during the video! Good presentation.
