Nope! Jeff can't answers difficult questions. Always pawns these tough questions by simply saying you need medical advice. Out of the hundreds of videos I've watching Jeff has helped me absolutely zero times. Whenever I needed to fix issues. Knees over toes guy. Even Hybrid Calesthetics actually helped. 80%-90% of the pain is gone. With Jeff the pain will still remain. Jeff does not know how to fix pain.

There are many good channels for weight lifting. I think for information he is one of the best on the internet. He doesnt use young sexy women in skimpy shorts as click bait. When I see this it makes the presenter look like a sleaze. BUT he makes money selling supplements (protein shakes) - the biggest gimmick in sport.

[@raymondmenz522]

@mcweb A protein shake is equivalent to a 100g steak and 1 & 1/2 cups of coffee. Manufacturers discovered that if they put magnesium in with the mixture they can slash their cleaning costs. Magnesium stops the mixture sticking. We can now buy special protein shakes flavoured with magnesium. There are now special vitamin pills with added magnesium because we all need magnesium. The supplement industry is world wide a US 60 billion dollar a year industry. The word hypocrisy springs to mind.

Listen‼️ I’ve been watching videos for a month as well as stretching and no real progress until now‼️‼️. This is the shortest video that has been the most beneficial. THANK YOU‼️😍 I don’t have money for PT and this is just what I needed. I haven’t had mobility in my hips in 7 years but now I do in minutes! ❤🎉

[@jojopalmer9204]

I watched this today as I am a 47yr old female that has found out after a year of tests that i have arthritis in my lower back and left hip. Ive always done alot of weight lifting and running hard down hill and not looked after my body in pro-active ways (stretching, hydration, nutrition). Lately ive had more and more impingement and pain from possible inflammation. Your hip tests have been very helpful and using the skeleton has been the one thing that has helped me understand what is going on. Im really grateful to have found this. I wish you could be my PT or help me with an exercise regime to activate the supporting muscles so i can lessen the everyday pain. The less i do, the more pain and knots and restriction in mobility I suffer. I suffer with anxiety and its crucial I exercise. Thanks once again for this brilliant clip

[@Ritalie]

Hi Rambo. Can you please tell us details? It sounds like you have a success story. And what you are describing is a miracle. Since watching this man's videos for the first time, I feel like his knowledge about stretching is nothing less than a miracle. I have been wanting a miracle to help my hip pain caused by riding bicycles for years, without doing any stretching. I was honestly feeling morbidly depressed from this nagging chronic mild pain in my hip. But after seeing his information on hip flexors, and stretches, I literally feel 100% confident that I can just "stretch" myself back to full health. My hip flexors feel like massive steel cables when I am simply kneeling with my feet behind me. I didn't even know what the flexors were until his videos!

You can obviously fix tight hips by doing face pulls

[@pivana]

You have just saved my life! After doing yoga and strength for 4 years, being super fit, I have bought new high sole trail sneakers and managed to lock my whole pelvis in an anterior pelvic tilt, sent all muscles in an overdrive, psoas, hip flexors, tfl, it band, lower back, with leg pain, shoulder pain, neck pain, you name it. My whole body changed its alignment in 2 weeks, I couldn't move, sit on the floor, for weeks! Your videos taught me more than any book I have ordered (trying to learn about anatomy and solve the pain.) Yes, the glutes and abs are not working, and I knew the issue that has to be solved must be somewhere else. To relax TFL and hip flexors to unlock that tilt! Oh man, I cannot thank you enough! May the God repay you in His blessings! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@soruwindx6419]

My knee was fixed but my hip was so tight I could only dream of external rotation. As happy as it makes me feel to see this video, I'm also so angry that my physical therapist never did anything like this. I've been suffering for years with this issue and learned more in this 15 min. video about my problem than I have in almost 15 years from my PT.

[@wondroustransition1622]

This is legit. I have been having annoying hip pain (front of hip, hip flexors) in my left leg for 3-4 months now. Did all the different stretches that various youtube channels recommended... it always helped for a few minutes but the pain came right back. Every morning when getting up from bed I could tell that nothing really changed, the pain was there again. Two days ago I did the side-plank from this video (11:18). I did it five or six times over the course of a day - always about 30 seconds. I used the "full" variation, not the easier one. It felt strenuous (in a good way) so I knew that I might be weak in that area. What can I say? No more pain when lifting my leg up, no more pain when getting out of be and putting on my socks. I am sooo happy! Thank you so much Jeff. It is not the first time that your specific video was the ONLY one that actually brought relief and fixed something!

[@peterdchamberlain]

Jeff,I'm 64,good shape for my age,but have always had tight and problematic lower back and hips.Sciatica so bad I couldn't sleep at night,stabbing pains in my groin that would double me over,knee pain,you name it.Once in a great while,the signal between my brain and leg would get interupted and my knee would give out.I never considered doing hip internal and external rotations.I have been doing a couple different variations you recommended for a couple hours today and I can already feel a huge difference Tremendous debt of gratitude.Thank you !!!

I've had the same problem and one side was much stronger than the other, in fact I couldn't lift the weak side knee at all. I've been having squat and pelvis problems but this helped tremendously.

[@TheBlissfulWalrus]

Please don't make my mistake! Thank you for bringing up the potential for structural bone issues / impingement / labral tears in the beginning of the video (2:38). I'm 30 and very active, and after years of having various issues with my hips, which are now causing quite a lot of pain, I've been diagnosed with femoral neck impingement and labral tears. I tried PT for 2 months at first, and when it wasn't helping they referred me to a hip specialist. Hip specialist looked at X-Rays, revealing my femoral neck deformities (sort of an excess of bumpy bone on the surface which can lead to contact with the acetabular rim during certain ranges of motion), and then MRIs which show the tears in both my acetabular labrums, worse on the left which is the more symptomatic. I would urge anyone feeling sharp pain deep in their hips to see a PT, and in the meantime don't push it with extreme range of motion stretching, as you might be causing further damage to a pre-existing tear; I think this is how mine got so bad, to the point where I've now been recommended for hip arthroscopy surgery to remedy my issues. Best of luck to all, may you be the spitting image of health and fitness!

I made a big mistake by misdiagnosing my pain with lower back problem, but then I realized it was a hip problem. So when I first started listening to this channel I had visited one of his lower back pain videos, and then I tried the techniques. In which it didn't help me, but perhaps made it worse. But since then I've tried hip tactics from this video, and the results are great. So thanks for everything. You are truly appreciated.

[@deerinheadlights9784]

I’ve been rehabbing my hip for 7 months now. I’m going to show this to my PT. I really hope we can identify what’s the issue so I can walk without pain and get back to training. Exercising rehab is no joke. The hardest part is mental/emotional because we can’t do what we’re used to doing. I had an MRI and it showed up negative too. They said it’s Iliopsoas tendonitis. I wish I could afford your help to rehabilitate. Appreciate the videos. Hope y’all feel better if you’re reading this and hurting at all.

Wow, I didn't even know I was looking for this and I'm so happy. I kept stretching my hip and it didn't change much, but these exercises finally helped me understand what my problem is.

[@happy_my_memories]

Stiffness in the hip joint can affect the alignment of the spine for several reasons:Compensatory Mechanisms: When the hip joint becomes stiff, the body naturally tries to compensate for the restricted movement. For example, if hip movement is limited, excessive movement may occur in the lower back or other joints. These compensatory mechanisms can lead to abnormal spinal alignment.Pelvic Tilt: Tension in the hip joint can cause the pelvis to tilt. When the pelvis tilts, the spine can twist or lean to one side, leading to structural imbalances in the spine and potentially causing long-term pain and injury.Muscle Imbalance: Stiffness in the muscles around the hip joint can create imbalances in the muscles that stabilize the spine. Weak or stiff hip muscles can place excessive stress on the spine, affecting its alignment.Limited Range of Motion: Restricted hip movement can influence overall movement patterns, impacting spinal alignment. Abnormal patterns can form in daily activities like walking, running, and sitting.Therefore, stiffness in the hip joint can directly or indirectly influence spinal alignment. Addressing this issue involves improving the flexibility and strength of the hip joint and maintaining proper movement patterns throughout the body.

[@Zig-Zag-Eyes]

Jeff is s god! Been suffering from this issue recently and BAAM!! Here comes a right video on right time! Thank you again Jeff!

[@itsTheKevL]

Thank you for this video. I used to be a marathon runner but a few ankle injuries from forced boots and UTs runs put me out and I packed on the pounds. This year, I've decided to focus much more on regaining my fitness level to my Marine Corps days but my hip has been troubling me and making running, biking or even the elliptical painful. After trying the band for just a minute it released a bit, and the side bridge melted almost all the tension away. I'll be doing these as part of my regular daily regime. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Best hip video I've seen. I tried a few of the movements that you demonstrated on Jesse and was excited to see progress on my right hip. I've been experiencing acute pain deep in the hip joint on my right side and have been dedicated to a hip stretching and foam rolling routine for months with little relief (although lots of additional benefits). Tonight trying the single leg plank to isolate the inner muscles showed me a significant difference in muscle condition. I will be adding these movements to my current plan and look forward to less pain and more function from my hips! Thank you for putting out quality videos that have great explanations and great perspective on fitness. Follower for life.

Jeff being clairvoyant as always, thanks Jeff

[@mesisnas]

I honestly thought that was Jeff in the thumbnail. Looking good Jesse 🔝💯

[@uzah88]

Oh yeaaaah😎

[@MikeToreno1992]

Someone needs eye surgery :)

[@smilesmile7330]

8 pack confirmed it was jesse. 😎

[@ishaboy5090]

Oh shit I didnt even realize until you commented that

[@maccon1]

Yep, the kid is looking good. I’m guessing his gains will be quicker and even more noticeable going forward.

[@luckyducky224]

Oh my gosh. I've been having hip issues and couldn't figure out what the problem is for the longest. When I laid on the floor and tried to lift my knee, it went NO WHERE! Thanks for sharing this, very eye opening.

[@Daniel-un7hr]

Go see an orthopedic Doctor

[@juukame]

Started doing sprint workouts in addition to my hiit and my hip flexor region is so tight. Tried that final stretch (on stomach with knee bent up tried to lift), and holy shit! Could barely do it. Thank you Jeff for pointing out my weaknesses with scalpel-like precision. Your information is amazing. Keep it up

[@ricki9219]

Having the same problem here. dit the exercises help?

[@Sub7Fitness]

Yes low back weakness is a huge contributor to hip problems!

[@awwa8923]

What are some good exercises for lowback for someone with super tight hips and a weak lowerback? Thank ya!

[@Sub7Fitness]

@@awwa8923 Low back extensions (but not into hyperextension), bulgarian split squats will help strengthen the medial glute, and back bridging should all help!

[@EagleFitnesss]

@@awwa8923 get a squat like position in every back lift with good posture this will do it i guess

[@Stockfish1511]

Its actually the opposite. The hip/glute weaknesses cause lumbar spine problems. Not the other way around.

[@EagleFitnesss]

@@Stockfish1511 squatting a bit down forces the glute medius (a hip abductor) to do its job. also u could do leg raises all the way up it works hip flexors. als place a hand if possible on one hip to make sure it stays natural

[@reginosky.]

Loved the explanation of how hip rotation impacts flexion, thanks!

[@flexwithtey]

R Lyew ^👍🏾yea it was very helpful

[@brendancrews7566]

13:54 for the exercises on strengthening external rotation

[@EzeAsuoha]

Thx this work for u?

[@EzeAsuoha]

Where can i get those bands

[@DarlingEmmaLouise]

First of all, disclaimer I am not an athlete lol. But I have been having physio since Oct 19 following disc prolapse & lumbar steroid & only after trying to strengthen my external hip rotators am I this morning feeling any solid relief. My hip/back has been so incredibly tight haven’t been able to stand straight or walk consistently- Thanks to your video that seems to be relieved. Just wanted to say thank you so much I can’t express how much this has helped me and I’m only a few reps in. I’m going to try find more of your vids to see if there’s similar 🤞🏼Emma.

[@Angelo-uo2gj]

Thank you for such an in depth video Jeff. As a physical therapist myself, I can really appreciate the outreach and influence you have through Athlean-X. You are really showcasing the wealth of knowledge physical therapists have and how much value we can provide to people.

[@brettarsenault6573]

The skeleton and my joints make the same sound when they're moved

[@trulaallen5590]

Lol mine too lol

[@CallowTenpa]

This can actually mean you lack muscle strength to support the joints

[@sipankibik5443]

Pop

[@soliraki9265]

mine too

[@PANDA-ui2qb]

metoo

[@estetty]

13:00 That test showed me that my left knee almost didn't rise at all from the ground.

[@henrymanerowski3161]

13:00 I can’t even bring up either knee... what have I done to my body.

[@jojopalmer9204]

Exactly what I said last year when my wonderful strong body started to get sore to the point where I couldnt walk without severe pain. It sux when you think you're invincible!

[@Susan-md6nd]

Me either

[@mgway4661]

Probably from a lack of doing

[@Ουρανία-ψ7σ]

Monday was squats, hip thrusts, single leg lunges and I wake up at night feel aching hips. This is *gold* Jeff! Is this why I feel and hear a clicking from my hips when I do knee taps or anytime I do sitting abs toe taps?! Plz help

[@namelessannett6923]

Jeff is by no means your typical Hans & Franz tough guy. With out a doubt - Jeff is a GENIUS in his practice. Nailing it 💯 in everything he teaches.

[@Karen-jj9xe]

Excellent video Jeff. I’ve been searching the web trying to research this type of information and I have not found anything that is this complete / concise. Thanks so much - greatly appreciated!

[@selmanfejzic5474]

I was just looking for hip exercises and this video pops up. I am not telling lies.

[@DHILL82]

Selman Fejzić me too 😂😂😂

[@charlesyoung9980]

When it comes to top level fitness advice, Jeff and hips don't lie.

[@flexwithtey]

Ed Jones ^^😂👍🏾

[@lancebernal9982]

Great video! I've been trying to figure out what's going with my hips and you described it perfectly! Thank you!

[@Homewrecker100]

I've started doing Judo again after a long time inactivity and immediatly after my first training i barely couldnt walk 1 hour later because of the hips being sore and tight. Now even 1 year later, every time i train hard, my hip hurts afterwards, went to the hospital for echo and photo's and they couldnt find a thing, everything looked perfectly normal, not even an inflamation i couldn't believe it. Now your video made it clear, i need to free the joint and strenghten the muscles around the hip more. Thanks for the video that gave me more info then 2 doctors and a hospital visit.
