#squatclub sir i am a fitness trainer and by your videos I get really help my clients achieve their goals fast thank you. Sir i want your squat bible book really bad I want tk read that 💓

[@dontreadmyname4396]

my question is: when i squat my knees travel alot forward (i have alot of dorsiflexion, srsly i have alot) and i only feel my quats mainly when squatting, i do ATG squats in flat shoes only because i don't find any help from the posterior chain while squatting so stopping after paralel feels so hard on the quads and nothing on the glutes, how can i aproach this issue? i have clearly anterior pelvic tilt from sitting all day but im working on fixing it everyday

[@davidv4018]

Great Content! Thank you! Is there a chance that Hip stiffness and pain in the pelvic area while deep squatting is because of lack of internal rotation?

[@1337b3nnyvav00m]

Does this hit the abductors??

[@inderpreetsingh8266]

hello sir it will do before squat exercise or post workout

[@chasestice4755]

This guy..... I hope he makes millions. He deserves it. Can't tell you how much he's helped me.

[@caseyparks3954]

Dude this is gonna change my squat game this winter. Thank you sir.

[@manlike8449]

I’ve tried multiple stretches, Physio, hip openers etc due to years of knee, hip and back pain. My left leg has always felt stronger and more balanced than my right leg. This affects me when I walk, squat, drive etc. After trying this stretch properly for the first time, I had an instant improvement!! It felt like I all of a sudden had access to parts/muscles of my right leg that I didn’t use to. I felt a lot more balanced standing on both feet, and walking felt great! An absolute revelation!! Thank you and keep doing God’s work you legend! 💪🏾

[@ryanstokes1793]

I literally had strained my SI joint months ago. Took time off and stretched but it kept coming back. Did this stretch tonight and wow. Almost instant relief. Still some stiffness when I lay down in the middle of my lower back but it's definitely getting better.

[@ashisawakening]

Yoooooo this just helped me soooo much. My stiff hips have been limiting my ability to swim, roller skate, and feel good in multiple areas doing this just helped so much!

[@gamergod-vf9hx]

My right leg is a lot less mobile than my left leg. That probably explains why I have problems with squats. I've always wondered what I could do to fix my hip problem. Thanks for the video!

[@VyacheslavTikhankin]

Thank you for this great exercise. I finally opened my hips, especially my right hip. After this I could squat deeper and it felt good. I'll do it as a warm up before goblet squats, kettlebell deadlifts, swings, high pulls, snatches and Turkish get ups. I wish your channel more and more likes, subscribers and positive comments )))

[@S2k_GRsti]

This is gold

[@serafettinkaya6012]

The most underrated channel !!!

[@wgilchrist1]

When my hip started feeling tight I knew where to come for answers. Can’t wait to get it loosened, but I have a few questions: Where does a Hip Opener belong? Before a workout, after? How long do you hold the position? How often is sufficient to do this specific stretch? Thank you!!

[@ernestb556]

I know this is a year late, but im just gonna parrot what my coach has said. Do this before a workout, it gives you easier range of motion and lets you go deeper into squats, hold it for 10 seconds, about 3 times per leg. I do it any day im going to be squatting. Hope that helps anyone from the future looking through here

[@Troublenut]

@@ernestb556 nice one thanks bro

[@stijnvannoort8401]

I dont deadlift, but this way of stretching is also very nice for climbers. I lack some hip mobility so this does help out thanks

[@treeroot7505]

I keep this one in rotation because of how much you hit on it. I can tell I haven’t really unlocked it yet though. Thanks for all the instruction.

[@robertchalfant7233]

Check out the Olympic weightlifting teams warm up routine. They basically do the same thing with the 20kg barbell. That’s relatively light to them

[@JulianSirian]

Quick question... will this help reduce a pelvic imbalance? Thanks in advance

[@daniela-kareenwenzel5714]

Great biomechanical exercise. The muscle tension is controlled by the brainstem and to much tension is always a sign for threat response of the brain. So it makes sense to check that too...

[@martinuzunov]

Thank you very much, Doc!

[@mariot8695]

[@LocalYokel01]

I appreciate the instruction. This exercise should be very useful to me. Here, though, is one vote against the use of the music track in the backgrounds. Useless noise, so far as I am concerned.

Feels good for sure

[@MrAmpersand78]

I had terrible lower back pain, something I have never had an issue with. After a couple days I was able to determine the source was from both hips, directly below the hip bones. I assume the hip flexors. I tried every type of stretch imaginable, Hip Airplane, The weight shift as shown, etc. It took three weeks and all of a sudden the pain, stiffness and discomfort disappeared overnight. Its not prevented me from squatting, but tonight it felt much more smooth and fluid. Do you recommend anything I can do as a preventive? Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge in your videos.

[@PaigeYesLee]

[@k3ith113]

This fixed my pain!

[@michaelsenft3608]

Coach - there seems to be a disagreement within the physical therapy and fitness field regarding the foot position in squats. Some insist toes must point straight; others say differences in hip socket insertions support toes pointing out. What are your thoughts?

[@germanmaganaserrano572]

Hip anatomy and body anthropometric measures determine foot positioning. There is not a discussion about that, in fact he has mentioned that in his blog, book and channel. Example of this could be that having a deep hip socket and short femoral neck would force you to externally rotate you pelvis in order to avoid impingement (which translates in pointing out with your feet).

[@1337b3nnyvav00m]

Do what works best for your anatomy

How do I prevent knee pain on kneeling leg while doing this stretch? I use a cushion or a soft mat and still get patellar discomfort and slight pain.

I was taught from some university courses that performing static stretches before heavy lifting was found to be bad, could be wrong but I’m not sure what to believe anymore with anything

[@osuhamster]

From what I’ve heard from human performance coaches, static stretches not warmed up active the stretch reflex and can actually tighten muscles
