    Its goign better, though not gone yet. Very sporadic.. The couch stretch seems to help and attack the calf area itself, I’m treating it everyday about  minutes and then some calf stretching whenever I can

    Why do your toes come of the ground? I think you weight it too much in the back, try squatting while stretching your arms and holding the kettlebell there, this counter balance is very effective.

    The buttwink, well I have seen worse ( I was a lot worse FYI ). What helped me was clearing up the glutes, specifically the TFL region and hams.
    Working the TFL allows you to create more torque, more ext. rotation and overall stability, definitely worth a shot 
    Your background in skiing could have made you forget about your glutes, as you stated. 
    My advice: Attack your glutes/TFL, try different techniques, mobilize them in every way. See the difference.
    Work the hams, they might play a role in rounding the back, however you do go pretty low, which is very awesome!
    Anyway keep up the great work, Share your progress!

    YGTU is out of stock in the UK, unfortunately ( that’s the only location where they sell them in Europe). So I’ll try to find something else to use.

    *Update*

    Kelly talks about a ‘klonk’ or something like that sometimes. Its like a bundle where you snap over.
    I have found this klonk almost at the place where it hurts. Should I smash this? Will smashing that area help get rid of the klonk or do I need to take other measures?

    Alright I will have someone check it again, just in case

    Yes I know, that is why I reach out to this awesome community
    Yes I also have done that :(, I thought the IT band would be a big help, but unfortunately not.
    From the glutes to my feet, I have checked it out, but nothing worked. And as I said I makes sure I go through my body at least once a week. Covering every part.
    Like I know my body is messed up ( Training for 10 years now 5-7 days a week, switched it up to 5 or 6 now) So sliding surfaces and all the good stuff are NOT properly working.
    Which part do you think I should smash or distract or what have ya. Maybe I overlooked something or so?
    Looking at the video now, and see what I can do.
    Thanks again Kaitlin, you’re the best!

    Thanks for the reply!

    I still do them indeed.
    Actually I have always been able to do this, years and years, so I know its not a technique thing. It is not a new position for my body. Thats why it is hard for me to really pinpoint the problem. Frustrating.
    Exactly that position in the video 3:48 is where I really feel pain.
    I’m doing my mobility stuff religiously everyday when I can, etc.

    Smash the TFL region, Use PNF for the same region: Lay on your back – left leg straight – right ankle slightly above left knee – let your knee fall: From there do some contract and relacing for abour 2 mins each side: 5 times a day. This HELPS! At least try it 😉 

    PNF is definitely helpful I think here

    Hey Conor,

    I actually have the same problem!
    I’m going to watch the videos Kaitlin suggested.
    However what I like to do, and seems to alleviate the pain a little, is getting a single lacrosse ball and put in at the ant. tib.  Then slowly kneel down, going back and forth/contract relax. This hits a nice spot and works a bit.
    Give it a shot.
    Keep us updated if you find something!
    Good luck man, there is a solution.

    I actually did do that one. 

    But somehow the place which you tense up when doing Kegels seem to always have to pressure and be tensed, even after gut smashing as well. I think this is corelated with my problem.
    I’m tyring to find ways to relax it, but it is not easy

    Hey guys, sorry for the late reply, my account got a bit messed up!

    Phil thank you so much for your efforts!
    The stacking is definitely a big help, I ca nreally notice the difference after that, so I’m gonna do that a couple of times per week.
    Just after the couch stretch, I can really feel the ant. hip, in pain. Although it does lighten up the quads. I think I will not go as deep and then see what happens.
    Thanks again
