The BEST Hip Opener Stretch Ever Created

[Vangaurd_tiger]

This is probably the best glute open exercise. I always do as warm up. This legit allow me to activate both side of glute like crazy. No pressure at lowerback

[gustavodefreitasfreitas]

Totally boosted my mobility and strenght

[jamesbunda]

Learned this technique from this channel specifically. This move is a staple in my warm up.

I’ve been doing this as well before leg days. I have tightness in my right hip so this has been a game changer ! Thank you Squat University

[isaacwinters]

This has been a great hip opener and adductor stretching exercise to work into training for splits

If I feel a stretch in the leg that has my knee on the ground, what does that mean?

[crenshaw]

Idk why people constantly using POV when it's not POV xd

A lot of these squat warm ups seem to include static stretches, how do you incorporate them without harming performance? I was always under the impression that dynamic stretching was the way to go prior to intense exercise? I see the benefit of static in mobilising the body (opening the hips etc.), but how do you incorporate it properly without harming performance (or worse)?

I'm unable to kneel and do the stretch on the right. I stand and use the stairs to get my knee almost 90 degrees. With this modification, does it make the exercise less effective?

Ray runs iron built gym in Richmond and I can't wait to do this in front of him to see if he remembers this short. Everyone there loves squat u there. I'm a huge fan, too. Keep all that good info coming, please!

This leads to the secret to getting rid of butt wink among other things… not enough adductor mobility

[ReeRee]

I tried to do this but I feel a pinching sensation while doing it. It's the same pain I get when I squat. Are there other hip opener excersizes? 😢

[bradford]

Is a stretch effective if under 1 minute?

[Joel.Armstead]

Can you do this with a dumbbell if you don’t have access to kettle bells

[Pama]

Exactly that muscle is killing me right now for few weeks now.

Thanks for balancing out the image of the big fellah with the lady model example so we didn't have to stare at Big Ray the whole time... Pause...

I recently started to feel my hips but it comes and goes.

Even more recent just, in every day stuff, it feels like some bone slightly above my left glute has a stinging pain. Idk how else to describe it.

I sleep on a traditional cotton futon on top of a tatami mat, does that have something to do with it?

I also transitioned to barefoot shoes only, about 3 months ago. Maybe there's some adjusting still going on?

[Abhishek-iwkf]

My chest is falling forwards while performing this.. Please help me what i am doing wrong

[lichh]

This is different than the Psoas stretch, right?

[jehadziedan]

If I have an old hip joint roughness, it happened around 13 years ago. can i do this ? i have no pain, but some discomfort sometimes when it's cold weather.
