Chalk Talk - #17 - Joint Approximation / Hip Flexor

[loganpatterson]

I prefer the band pulling anterior instead because you get a much stronger hip flexor stretch. I don't squat or lift really at all without doing it first. If someone (or myself) has ant hip pain I'll have them do the hip extension ant distraction lunge thing and I'll have them do a post distraction in a standing hip hinge position and have them bend and extend their knee. Works like a charm and also helps with hip flexion mobility. Good videos.

Question for those without home gyms / small apartments: how are you rigging your bands for this stuff? They exert considerable force. Doorknobs are a shaky option at best. I've jerry-rigged a setup with a very heavy KB and two smaller KBs to secure it, but then you're always stuck with floor height, and it's still not totally secure.

Would really appreciate if you can respond to my question : I've poor ankle mobility, specially on my right side (Had a surgery when I was young and I believe my achilies tendon slightly shorter). I've done different mobility drills but the problem is still there. I would like to progress on my Squat while keeping a decent form, going into a narrow stance makes my right heel to raise, but, going into a wider stance gives me pain in both of my knees. Any idea why this pain ? Great video, Thanks.
