I like doing a combination of both

sartorius…tu tu tut tu…..you sound like linda from lucifer…
I have weak hip flexors and even the basic hip flexor exercises are difficult. How many sets and how often should I implement these exercises in my workout routines?
JD
I wish I was a cool hipster with big legs but I have stupid ass pathetic legs ��
Excellent; content, presentation, setting, background music. Good role model. V well done. Double thumbs.
Hi guys, I find your content helpful and interesting. I’m an MSer and have moderate weakness in my hip flexor on the left. I also have weakness in my arm on the left side. Are there any exercises you could recommend for this. I am going to do these hip flexor exercises until I feel I can graduate to the more advanced ones. Any guidance would be appreciated.
1:00 exercises ought to be done with control, never ‘pumping’. A slow controlled lift and hold will strengthen a muscle and avoid injury. 1:20 You want to bring your knee past 90 degrees. Kept so low you would be compensating with other musecles (glutes etc). Above 90 degrees (knee up towards chest) you will be using the hip flexors. He somewhat does it at 2:00. Problem there, again with the fast pace, and there is also a back extension which might be stretching rather than strengthening. If you have a posterior tilt you only want to strengthen.
My favorite are the Single Leg Goodmornings because I could barely do 1 when I started and now I can bang out 15.
Make sure to check the description for a sample routine! I recommend trying all the exercises and determine what seems most useful for you. Enjoy the hip strength gains amigos ����

Josh, love this routine! But when I do the glute bridge march, I cant keep my hips level. One side always falls down a bit. What do I need to focus on strengthening? Thx!
Healthy side note: you dont have to lift heavy weights, it’s a misconception. Yes you need exercise and being able to support your own weight is a must. These exercises agree with me and my body
When I do the standing hip flexion exercise, I hear / feel a click when lowering my leg. What is the cause, and is there anything I can do to remedy this?
