Sneaky way to increase hip rotation

[@SoloPetru]

I have try PRP now

[@YTuberosity]

What if you have FAI in one hip? And you're stuck in external rotation, with almost zero internal rotation available?

[@MaksReznik]

I would still recommend building strength in that hip over a few months and see what happens. The key is starting with a volume that is low enough in intensity where you can get many reps (8-12 per set) in and build confidence in the movement. FAI is only as limiting as we want it to be (speaking from personal experience).

​@@MaksReznikActually it's a real and physical limitation for many

What do you mean by “front” glute?

[@MaksReznik]

The glute of the front leg when you perform the exercise.

[@bradford5681]

Agree, weird terminology

[@DavidHannon-cy7zs]

I cannot do the reverse lung on my painful hip without getting a sharp pain in my groin. Do you think I should just do them anyway in spite of the pain?

[@MaksReznik]

@@DavidHannon-cy7zs Never wise to go into pain during exercise. Instead, see if you can modify the exercise in a way that provides more comfort in the movement.

[@bradford5681]

What is special about this exercise?

[@nickie17301]

I could argue though that most gymnasts have the advantage of being in their teens/20s and majority of the time are double jointed.

[@MaksReznik]

Yes there are multiple factors that contribute to flexibility. The example of gymnasts vs powerlifters was more to bring home the point that strength is another important factor, especially for taller/larger individuals (like myself).
