[email protected]ParticipantKaitlin, I’ve found my biggest issue here.
It is my hip flexor(s) that are tight.A friend of mine who is a massage therapist/physiotherapist showed me a super-friend stretch for this and we realized my right leg is not even near the left leg in “mobility” and it hurt so bad.At the moment I can’t even squat cuz it hurts when getting deep into my squat, it feels like the hip is getting impinged in that.So my question is, is there any good stretches I can do by myself?
I can’t always do the superfriend-variation of this.Btw. The reason for my stiff hip is that when I’m standing at work is that I am leaning towards the right, which I think made this shit even worse.[email protected]ParticipantCould someone explain the 2-man IR stretch?

Been getting much tighter in the adductor on my right side. And today when I attempted to squat and do powercleans I either pushed more on the pain-side or didnt go deep enough in the start of my powerclean on the same side.Also I noticed yesterday when I went swimming that I get what some is calling snapping-hip when I’m doing breaststroke. From what I found on google this relates from one leg being longer than the other. Don’t really know what to do about this, but I hope someone gives you a good answer aswell.[email protected]ParticipantIf I do it barefoot, my feet are almost turned out 45 degrees, but its getting better and better the more I do it. So just keep practicing and you’ll improve.
[email protected]ParticipantAt first I had to stand up between every new “exercise”, but after like 10 days straight I was able to sit down for almost all of it. I did like 10-15 pushes per side and 10-20s holds. In the beginning I used my OLY-shoes (I was really stiff), but after a couple of days I could manage to do it with nanos/barefoot instead.
I suggest you take a short rest between every “part” of it, by just popping your ass up in the air, stand up, shake your legs and sit back down.[email protected]ParticipantI use this routine quite often. Did it like 15 days in a row.. Which is pretty similar to the squat test but a bit more dynamic.

[email protected]ParticipantYes, I’ve done it a dozen times. It’s really good to get a relaxed neck.
[email protected]ParticipantBro,
Here you are, pretty much the same mobwod.[email protected]ParticipantDavid, tried that last one with the alpha ball. Didn’t give it much time but actually felt a bit more relaxed in lower back, so will keep doing that one.
Did the couchstretch and freestyled it a bit immediately after and it actually felt pretty good and loose in the hips. Gotta keep pounding them and every other mobwods I do to become a better me.I love all the help one can get from this forum. It has helped me alot.[email protected]ParticipantI’ve got my own office, and people are walking by quite often.
So I don’t get to fancy but with a standing desk I normally put the chair behind me and try to do an informed freestyling version of the couch stretch.Other options I do are when reading stuff I sit down in my chair put the foot up over my knee and press the knee (on the leg that foot connects) down and try to mobilize external rotation hip.My favourite is for thoracic spine, I just put my hands (palms down) on my desk, like somewhere between jerkgrip and snatchgrip and just lean forward pushing head through.You can also try to turn the palms out which will get the chest a bit aswell.01/09/2014 at 8:03 am in reply to: Hip Pain/Pull/Tightness (maybe flexor) in the bottom of any squat. #73712[email protected]ParticipantDavid, when doing the voodooband-squatting, do you recommend to voodoo-band both legs (if you have two voodoobands) at the same time or should the focus be on one at a time?
[email protected]ParticipantHow do you mobilize your QL with alphaball? Only thing i’ve seen about ql is the matt chan video.
I guess im pretty stiff here as well (yeah, another stiff spot)…[email protected]ParticipantOk, cool.
Yeah same for me, but my girlfriend hates it because she wants to cuddle. At work I’ll even do some stretching, not much but some.Well if I get to bed as early as I want in the evening I’ll set the clock to go up early and mobilize otherwise I’ll use that 30-40 min to sleep.[email protected]ParticipantThank you Kaitlin.
Yeah I saw that video very recently which is one of the reasons I wanna change my positioning!Last video is awesome, I have tried the kettlebell thing as well, but never thought I should hold it for 2-3 min (even do that sounds pretty stupid of me to say now).I will do them all every now and then.[email protected]ParticipantYou guys pretty much summarized it pretty well for me. I wasn’t actually gonna do the Daily RX, I am gonna do the Daily RX, but I’m gonna chose the ones that attacks my weaknesses.
When I’ve started to know what works and what don’t I’d probably create 2-3 routines that attack different areas and work with them. Only reason I posted was that I don’t have the space or possibility to use a band at home, but almost all of the other equipment I have.So basically on the evenings after practice now I do T-spine mob with 2 LAXballs, some foamrolling calves and a little couchstretch/super squat hip sequence or so. But since I barely have time to sleep if I’m gonna do all this every night I was thinking about putting it in for a session in the morning with focus on legs. -
