You’re Training your Hip Flexors the WRONG Way | Do THIS Instead

[@turntablesrockmyworld9315]

Great first move. It is an oldie but a goodie, I was doing in with a weight in a small grocery bag -perhaps I should try the band attachment!

[@Qonka]

Thanks for that video. One of a few that actually addresses my needs.

[@ByanGwok]

Thanks so much, this is something I have been looking for!

[@rojman4872]

Nice. You just gained a subscriber.

Hey Matt, I don't know if you'll remember me from OSU (the olympic weightlifting guy) but I wanted to say that I appreciated learning from you while I was there. You're a great teacher and I use you as a resource all the time for programming ideas when it comes to helping the athletes I work with.

[@TheMovementSystem]

Nice! Good to hear from you Alex

[@KitKat-bh7vv]

@@TheMovementSystem how many times a week should one perform hip flexor training ??? Also, how many reps and sets and which weight ? Any advice would help, thanks Matt

[@diannayau5975]

love that these exercises are focused on athletic performance vs. the other videos you see on youtube which feel like physical therapy movements that are too easy and to your point in one of your other videos, if you can do 100 reps of them, it most likely isn't strengthening your tendons and muscles. Would love some videos to help strengthening for tennis, badminton players!

[@Venya3213]

I think, if we're talking about strengthening in full range, we shoulda mentioned cable variation. It beats the band because of constant resistance, band obviously gives less as we're extended. Also there's a great back leg (or Peterson) lunge for end range rectus femoris strengthening. And the last thing, do we really need to add hip extension of the opposite leg, as you've done in band exercise. Cause it's such a powerfull mechanism and we may take a lot of work off of a hip flexor.

Fantastic video. Thanks for the valuable information...

Fantastic video, thanks!

Fantastic.

[@henryduong4728]

Thanks.

[@ConstructiveMinds100]

Great compilation. 👍👍👍

[@miguelducasse]

Nice 👍 what would you do for sets and would you do it before hard sprinting or after sprinting

[@anitahendrix7573]

OMG just had hip replacement 6mon ago these exercises are why to pain full.It hurts just putting on my pants or getting in and out of car.

[@denisbeaulieu5600]

Thanks

[@rareezy14]

Good stuff Matt!! 💪🏾💪🏾

[@jamaleddine8293]

Plz coach there is any exo for leg discrepency

[@cremedelacremex8]

My goal kicks as a soccer keeper aren't that long. I will try these. But if I only have limited amount of time each week, I wonder if I shouldn't just train he actual goal kick in that time.

[@ObedMineField]

Breathing pattern? I always inhale for focus on hip flexion. Nice moves!

[@Lvl_zero0]

What are the sets and reps for each exersise? Also can i do the sprintin ones that you mentions towards the end of the video, before the workout? And how often do I perform this workout?

[@Anonymous-jy3ek]

How would you program the sets and reps ?

[@totallyraw1313]

Thanks, Matt. Do you think using a cable may be better than a band because there is more tension at the beginning of the motion?

[@TheMovementSystem]

Yea if you have a cable machine that’s a good option for more constant tension.

[@stevesmith1512]

If you do it in a cage. Put another band across the cage so your knee hits it as it comes up. Also move you anchor point so you can adjust the tension. Also the cage is good for balance. You don't want to land the foot that comes forward flat. Especially if your working on acceleration. If your foot lands flat it will put you at the wrong shin angle.

와.. 이거 엄청좋아요 혁신적인 영상이다❤

[@aslitegmen2305]

For the lying hipflexor exercise with kettleball can we do it without holding other leg with our hands? My shoulders are not good enough holding other leg but ı can hold the leg in the luft for a few seconds without hands? Thank you very much

[@RedGuy-pt8lm]

Don't forget to brace your core to get the most out of it

[@safdardahriwal7503]

Sir please make your playlist

[@chrishansen9379]

That first one looks like it might be good for flexibility too?

[@michelseifert5712]

i did not really get it: why dont you go all the way up in the first exercise?

[@2xSundays]

My guess is the dumbbell would have slipped out. 🤷‍♂️

[@Jimmyzation]

Like he said, It wasn't because the dumbbell would've slipped, but rather because the force being applied to the muscles in the top portion is neglegible when considering the weight vector and the way the hip rotates at the top.

[@AureliesANatural]

Whenever i do these single leg exercises, i feel my abductors on the non working leg working harder and fatiguing a lot sooner. Any idea on how i can fix that ?

[@functionalmovementcoaching9223]

Hi there. As a functional movement coach what you are describing is quite normal. Often the cause of this is lower core weakness, especially below your belly button. The reason your non-working leg is working harder is that it is overcompensating for lower core and hip flexor weakness. You can try to build some lower-core strength first. Also, try to do this exercise above with no weights first and build baseline hip flexor strength first. Otherwise, this is a great exercise and I like the way Matt has instructed it.

[@devingroenewald8802]

Honestly this started autoplaying and I thought it was cbum talking 😂

[@jjhbball]

I like doing this with a cable machine.

[@LeoSkyro]

Seems like a lot of extra steps and awkward setup to just do what amounts to.... A lunge

[@knolle9390]

You have actually no understanding at all, neither of the shown movement, nor of a lunge. The Lunge is a Press through the Leg and an Extension of the hip. This here is a hinge of the hip, the opposite of a lunge.

[@domanefun]

Don't knock it till you tried it Bubba. It works way more than a lunge. Body position and that dang thing called gravity. Isolation of muscle 💪

Let’s cancel the name “Joseph” too since Stalin killed 9 million people. See how dumb that sounds? It’s a name. This guy clearly has nothing to do with hitler, he’s an exercise instructor, not a fuckin fascist, so don’t be a fascist and try to make people feel bad because their first name offends you. Make sure you think about this next time you shake hands with a guy named Joe.

[@endthedrugwartoday]

Awesome stuff. Thx for posting.

[@JasmineSandberg-e2q]

If you are strengthening the hips in an extended position isn’t that increasing the risk of injury?
