[@sagebauer1077]

Love that Joey actually asked about where and when to put those movements into your program. That stuff gets glossed over a lot of the time but is super important!

[@jujimufu]

Agree

[@willcresson8776]

ELITEFTS actually talks a lot about that sort of thing. Calgary Barbell. There are a few channels now that are prostetising that message (though their should be more).

[@C-OBrien]

This channel exists at the divine crossroads of memes, actual good advice and overall mogging of the viewers

[@SzatStrength]

haha

[@WhatAboutZoidberg]

Love these colabs, Juji and Martins are the best. Martins can make the silliest, goofiest joke one minute then just switch into talking about minute muscle details like its his thesis paper. Strong mind, strong body.

[@SzatStrength]

it was a great time!

[@ironhallgym]

You, Juji and Elitefts have put new insight into my deadlifts. Thanks for helping me get back to basics. I’m maxing out more and lifting heavier because of your series.

[@Juliussmoothie]

the most recent thing i learned from EliteFTS for deadlifting was in a youtube short, it was saying to twist your arms inward to your body to help suck you into the bar. it makes a huge difference for me.

[@ironhallgym]

@@Juliussmoothie honestly I don’t know where I’d be at, as far as lifting, if I didn’t find these KZbin pages.

[@Juliussmoothie]

@@ironhallgym For sure, i've gotten tidbits from various different places online over the years that have formed my complete technique and my deadlift form is now in a place where i dont feel sore after doing deadlifting most of the time. i got a 425 pound lift in the tank 100% when i attempt it as my new PR in a few weeks. On my road to 500 pounds! my current is 415 pounds.

[@joshuawalker301]

It's crazy how versatile juji is, dude can do a lot of stuff at a great level.

[@germanrud9904]

im worried bcuz he looks sick

[@jujimufu]

Thanks Joshua!

[@TheOneandPrime]

@@germanrud9904 he is just lean

[@Styl4x]

Hip flexors in strength athletes (and a lot of other athletes as well) are usually completely undertrained. They do a ton of hip extensions, e.g. squat and deadlift, but almost nobody trains hip flexion so there's a huge imbalance. Kneesovertoesguy talks about it quit a lot and has some specific exercises for it

[@jujimufu]

🙂

[@eztvlight1202]

😄

[@GetOffMyLog]

@@jujimufu cmon now don't tease us like that. Although I shouldn't complain because any Juji content is amazing.

[@TracyMangold]

I’m definitely going to incorporate this into my training. I have narrow hips and they get aggravated easily so I’m constantly stretching them out.

[@drip369]

Joey does have friends. If i lived closer, he'd have one more

[@Jackedup1269]

I honestly think that hanging knee raises are one of the best exercises to fix my hip pain. I focus on really stretching out at the bottom and try to get my knees as high as possible at the top. It’s crazy how quickly It starts to work. The deep split squat is another one that works a treat.

[@TheFastradaArchive]

That’s what makes Juji a fuckin god his mobility

[@SzatStrength]

very talented and versatile

[@artygunnar]

I've only seen Ballet dancers do the move that Martins recommended, it was so cool to see gigantic people do it, as opposed to pencil thin girls

[@jpeeler999]

My favorite part, aside from the obvious, is that when Martin goes into the hip plane, that’s what impresses Juji the most

[@SzatStrength]

so impressive

[@liamdwyer5879]

It's awesome how the great quality of the videos sometimes seems almost interchangeable when these guys are together, but watch them all and you'll learn something new and find a new perspective in each one.

[@EstefaniaHZ]

Great refresher! I starting applying Juji’s advice a few months ago & my lifts improved by far. Muscle-mind connection, too. 🔥 Stretch fellas

[@jujimufu]

Thanks Estefania! Stretching is worth the time, but it really should feel good and be fun!

[@justinrosas6615]

That hip opening exercise that Martin shows is super beneficial. I had first watched Chris Duffin do the same movement when he, Mark Bell, and Silent Mike worked together.

[@kirshberndt8412]

Martins’ balance is impressive!

[@michaelrozett5016]

I need Martins as my PT. Such a legend.

[@douglasschriever8797]

I've been trying hip airplanes for months but I never got them to work well until listening to Martins, serious game changer

[@ssrbob]

The closed captioning on this video is great. Its evidently a colab between Martinez and Judy.

[@jtsavor5649]

Respect and enjoy all 3 of these guys so much all the time but this content in this video is just invaluable. I've been dealing with this exact issue for over a year stemming back to a powerlifting comp deadlift PR. I got the lift but had a grade 1 hamstring strain as a result. Tried to let it heal and recover but I think I did a poor job of giving it adequate time and thus led to a motor pattern change to compensate and that then caused this muscle by the taint, actual name to difficult to spell right now, to become inflammed. I've gotten deep tissue work, chiro, PT and nothing was fixing it. Everyone treated it as a glute or hamstring issue. So excited to try this and grateful for sharing the info. Thanks!!!

[@tynado1173]

Martins goofy shoulder warmup is my favorite stretch now. Solved all my shoulder issues

[@ianfoley6887]

I have just become certified in Muscle Activation Technique and theory behind is tightness and pain is secondary to weakness and through muscle testing we can reactivate and balance! Usually where it hurts and tight is not issue, just symptoms 💪 love the content and really ate this information up and would love to chip any advice! Stay strong

[@petermozuraitis5219]

I’m glad I saw Martins doing those Tree Pose “opening positions”, thanks for filming this vid Coach Joe ! One of my favourite deadlift warm ups, and during the rest period, IS to do walking Tree Poses with a 5 - 10 sec hold with my body parallel to the floor then when I come out of it and I’m upright I’ll do 3 - 5 knee raises one leg. Take a step forward and repeat

[@petermozuraitis5219]

This is so hilarious, Ivan Djuric at SquatEveryday just started doing marches with ankle weights to solve his hip pain when deadlifting too !

[@Numanite]

This was a phenomenal video, keep the great content coming boys, this is solid stuff!

[@SzatStrength]

glad you enjoyed

[@ZachTangen]

Like Joey said, some times going back or looking back at what we used to do if we didn't have pain can be so helpful. I was having pain shooing down the outside of my leg from my IT band after not going to the gym for a year or so. PT had me doing stretches but that wasn't super helpful. Then I looked back at what I was doing a few years ago when I had no pain. I added back more hip abduction work and put more focus on that for a few months. I tried adding back some small exercise that caused the IT band pain and it was gone. For the last couple of months I haven't had any issues with it again. Have continued to focus on the hip abduction work to make sure nothing comes back. I'm going to be adding some of what they talked about here as well to help avoid any future issues. Thanks for doing these videos guys!

[@SzatStrength]

sometimes the answers are right in front of us ha!

[@TheEthanFausett]

Solid information! I had some serious back pain last summer because of muscle imbalances that seriously set me back in my strength training. Because of that experience I love stuff like this.

[@alexthegordonhighlander1159]

Great content! With the front lift stretch kick, if you kick across the body slightly, it helps in an even more effective way to stretch and balance everything in the hip. Open up the hips “first thing in the morning” is fantastic advice.

[@Nerdybdirty]

Squat University promotes the airplane for hip improvement and helps build symmetry for the squats. This movement is truly great!

[@kirshberndt8412]

Great content guys! Shows how important stretching, mobility, stability, balance, coordination and flexibility are in training to help facilitate improved strength gains and that sooner or later it’ll catch up to you somehow if neglected for too long!

[@jodencro]

Absolute gold of a video. Great information. Awesome collab! Best wishes Coach.

[@10ktube]

Oddly, I found this exercise a while ago to help medial glute stabilization while cycling. What I can't seem to sort out is the best way to do progression drills UP TO the way you guys can do it. Is it best to hold onto something, prop the back leg up on a chair or couch and do it, something else? Of course, being a cyclist, I have the same issue with strong up/down muscles, but the small stuff is basically turned off and I want them awake. Same symptom, small low back pain, more annoying than anything. Kudos for the video, and the KZbin algo that brought me here.

[@Madchris8828]

This is a perfect video for me. Having hip flexor issues and IT band issues too. Heavy legs exercises without proper stretching Is bad news, lol

[@ianmcardle4592]

I played soccer, BJJ, and Muay Thai, and once I started powerlifting heavy I learned I had major hip impingement and torn labrums... Stretching is great but it's important to check for impingement issues before trying to stretch your way out of hip pain

[@ryanlopez4550]

I've been trying to do those air planes for years.i saw Chris duffin so them ages ago talking about warming up, then licis w Aaron but nobody ever explained it this well before. this is my favorite combination of people

[@anthonyl.4742]

really enjoy seeing you guys come together to make quality content like this. informative and fun. keep it up!

[@miamidolphinsfan]

Coach Joey yet another really great informative video. I have always thought it was a sciatica problem, maybe it was this that was my problem. Thank you sir !

[@CopenhagenCollabo]

Love the content guys, good luck with the hips friends … Copenhagen supports ❤️

[@lemsligg6842]

Love the transition at 5:32 for a new segment like…3 feet to the left.

[@ScourtasFitness]

Thank you for this video. I thought my legs were equal as far as flexibility but I can get my right leg way higher in the front kicks compared to my left. Definitely something to work on. Thanks Joe!

[@jujimufu]

it's normal to have one leg more flexible and stronger than the other. My left leg is my split leg, but on ham curls my left leg gets left in the dust by my right leg, which is my dominant leg (jumping, kicking, etc)

[@MonMonKack]

I have the same issues with my right hip. Been trying to fix it by costient stretching ever night. I have been feeling some progress. May have to try some of this in the morning.

[@lets_go_brandon_lee_6195]

These dudes are awesome…super cool and down to earth! On a more serious note…Glad to see flexibility being stressed and used by elite level strength athletes!

[@louderthangod]

I’ve been using the hip-circle to do knee thrusts up to waist height with some speed just for a few weeks as well as the normal lateral crab walk thing you do with the hip circle and my deadlifts are feeling great. Y gym just got a reverse hyper which I’ve only used twice but it’s also making my hips and glutes feel so much better. I’m a very hip dominant squatter with short legs compared to my torso.

[@gatozilla2607]

i love how Martin share the info from Dr. Aaron

[@OmahaRenegade]

I use Squat University's hip stretches and exercises as well, and it has helped my right hip a lot.

[@AJH3518]

I am watching so much martins content lately what a legend

[@SzatStrength]

great guy!! so strong

[@michaelkarayan6652]

@4:35 when he said you can do this in the morning and it’ll reset your flexibility for the day. I don’t know if there’s anything in the literature currently on this but if I squat to full depth once early in the day I notice at work I can get into deep squats and split squats far more easily for the rest of the day and the bottom position of a barbell squat feels better later that night!

[@tuskarrwade4091]

Start it at 8:15, Martins is showing us what the boys are here for

[@SzatStrength]

hahah

[@sasquatchtv4157]

The beginning of this video has me rolling

[@drip369]

"Quote Joey" "quote Joey" Thanks for the quoting material, Juji 🤣🤣

[@jujimufu]

You're welcome!

[@BlueBirdZone]

Nutty, I just started doing those "Front Lift Stretch" leg kicks a few weeks ago because it felt really good between deadlift sets. Also need to startup on those Hip-Airplanes again, been slacking like a like a wet spaghetti noodle on those.

[@Stewart.george]

Another informative video, Really loving all your content at the moment. Loved the recent over head press content as it is one of my favourite lifts and had some good little tips.

[@bigk2080]

These guys are amazing athletes.

[@willcresson8776]

OMG. THE BOYS! ARE! BACK! ALRIGHT!!!

[@willcresson8776]

Also, yall are so wholesome and just seem like "good" men. A little goofy, almost smart, and totally there for each other. We need more examples like y'all.

[@bacawaka2813]

I should give this a try. My inner thighs is always the most sore area after doing squats.

[@SzatStrength]

yes please try these out

[@lanatsif]

Martins back at it with the friendly mogging

[@SzatStrength]

[@miriame.9592]

A lot of great tips, thank you!

[@smbrumbaugh]

You may get de-monetized for that Juji nip-slip at around 6:28. Lol! Seriously though, this kind of content is really useful even for the average fella like me, who gets aches and pains even from my garage gym. Great vid!

[@thefuller]

I really want to train with you to see if we have different resluts. My deadlift issues are in my quads and i've had both my hips replaced

[@SethAKPI]

The hip airplane is very underrated. Chris Duffin first introduced it but no one cared

[@schumerthd]

I think Elitefts recommended Airplanes to you as well. I love seeing mobility drills being validated by different people.

[@SzatStrength]

yes they did which means they are both on to something!

[@sergentdolph]

Much love to the Dragon !

[@gabrielaskew1415]

juji is reaching silver back status. Joey has been there waiting

[@Walooploop]

This is gold, thank you

[@ChingiWingi]

Yo, shout out to Squat University

[@Makai_Reacts]

Damn that's awesome. Need to add some of these stretches into my daily life.

[@jujimufu]

Stretching is fun. I don't know why people don't do more of it? When people ask me how often I stretch I say "as often or as little as I want" but I end up stretching a lot because it feels good and is fun!

[@Makai_Reacts]

@@jujimufu Agreed :D I have cerebral palsey so stretching is super important to keep me training properly. Thanks for the awesome content you make, been watching you for many, many years now.

[@OrbvsTomarvm]

martins won wsm when mateusz, novikov, brian and tom competed 🙌🏻much respeck. going to be very interesting this year but, my monies on him 💪🏻 MACARONI GRILL!

[@sylmg]

Jesus, how big is Martins? I never noticed how massive he was till standing next to Joey.

[@jujimufu]

He's very big. His top weight is 360. Here he's 330 I think.

[@Thulgore]

Martins needs to just do a fucking Ted Talk. The dudes knowledge is amazing. Seeing a 300+ lb man do it is even more amazing.

[@butfirstcoffee1648]

I’m dealing with hip thingy. I will stretch the way you show up in the video. Thanks

[@CodyRobinson148]

6:09 sam brown from @elitefts taught me this at the seminar in november

[@lostandfoundphil2038]

joey you should talk to Aaron and see if he thinks you need to add some stuff that guy is on point

[@mitsealb3609]

When he started doing the knee lifts I saw kneesovertoes guy. Except he does it with weights on feet.

[@ssjgrayfox8897]

MARTINS!

[@alexjackson9824]

These guys Crack me up

[@petrl9838]

Ever thought about throwing in some sumo deadlifts? Nothing lights up my adducturs more

[@SzatStrength]

yes considering for a training block

[@dalecook4805]

Good info. I too get hip pain after doing weeks of deadlifts. I started doing the airplane a while back after Sam @elitefts highlighted it in a past video.

[@greenbladesofgrass]

Feel it in your taint. Classic!

[@aquilesgravera]

Martins is great! Funniest guy ever!

[@markmcallister5869]

Come on Joey you have to give Sam from Elite credit for the airplane stretch. He showed you that first.

[@ienjoyxmas]

I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE!

[@tatebarnum731]

the hip opener one is great i t feels so good XD

[@m1nayondaime]

Where can I get that beautiful colourful Lion's Den shirt you have, Coach Joey?

[@joshuagalloway184]

Martins was funny explaining hip pain on the skeleton

[@a_pet_rock]

Martins makes Joey look small. That's fuckin wild.

[@SzatStrength]

hes massive

[@Jasonsprague1981]

I literally have the same pain.

[@adampetherick6266]

Try some belt squat correct hip pain

[@TheOneandPrime]

Thats crazy Martins was able to do that one legged move better than Juji

[@DavidAbell26]

Dude makes you realize how big Martins is when he makes Joey look 5’10” next to him lol Update Joey is huge, was just the camera angle at the beginning lol

[@PandaGrylls]

I literally messaged you about this on December 29 suggesting that you open up your hips and do some hip mobility work. I noticed your hip shift during squats during your Litvinov Workout video with Juji. :D I'm glad you are onto something here and I hope you fix your pain.

[@mozzer920]

Every athlete includeS “A’s” into their programming.

[@DarkOneIllustrations]

i like to throw a resistance band up on something, n just put my foot threw it to stretch my hips just hold onto something n chill there

[@SzatStrength]

awesome thank you

[@artygunnar]

The whole martins was showing is called the piriformis

[@omariscovoador7486]

The amount of broscience mixed in with actual science in this video is hilarious

[@jujimufu]

you mean actual broscience. 👻

[@RickySterling]

Ogre from Revenge of the Nerds hasn’t aged a day.

[@drip369]

Martins!

[@LolaChewie]

I want to see you all get your pubic bone popped. I play recreational soccer and I am ambidextrous, but I am right foot dominant. Sometimes whenever I play a match and end up using my left foot a lot without warming up properly, I get an intense taint pain. I later learned to pop my pubic bone and the taint pain immediately disappeared. The only problem was the actual pop was also very extremely intense.

[@frogneckmen857]

Juijumfuuu or whatever looks like he's aged a hundred years with all the juice that dudes on. Dudes heart is probably the size of his shoulders now.

[@joshuahettinger9287]

8:18 smack

[@FC-dv1eb]

I have exactly the same. I can squat, and feel fine i do have to point my toes out a bit more than what i would like to but i can do it pain free. However deadlifting is becoming a pain in the fucking arse! I love deadlifting but its coming to the point where i have to stop doing it all toegheter. I feel like something is catching in the front of my hip ( it feels like its near the psoas muscle/rec fem) I used to play soccer for many many years, now i just lift and run. Had an MRI scan, by the looks of it i have a femoroacetabular impingment with second degenerative disease ( not great new and thanks soccer for this) so might be worth having it look into if it gets worse to find out the exact cause of your hip pain!
