Hey Connor please make a video on stuff or excercises we can do first thing in the morning after waking up, for improving mobility and function and feeling better overall.
That’s would be awesome. Because a lot of movements out there, where everyone says you need to do CAR’s in the morning then full body mobility or animal flow or grab a broomstick…. I’m going crazy from so many choices so my mind prefers do nothing 😂.. I want something that will target everything like neck, thoracic spine, hip, legs, foot
This was life changing. I have had right outer knee and shin pain for the past year and I have literally tried everything and anything to help it. Yes, I have been self-diagnosing thinking I had everything. I haven’t been able to squat without pain and it’s been so defeating…until I tried this. Thank you so so much Connor!!!! I’m in shock at how this unlocked my whole leg.
This video saved my life!! I have been suffering from osteoarthritis on my left hip for two years, before I started figuring out what caused the problem and what is aggravating the symptoms. This video was the last piece of information that I needed in order to keep my hip functional and pain-free. In just 30 seconds my limping (caused yesterday by some improper movement) vanished as if by magic! Thank you Conor! 🙏👏💖
I have been doing standing clamshells with a band for ages to help with knee pain from cycling with moderate success. I just tried this technique and I could totally feel my glutes firing on my last ride. Incredible.
Hi dear Connor! Would it be possible to make a video about possible relaxing exercises for headache due to stiffness of the neck and shoulder blades? You're the best channel here! Great work! 😊
Makes sense, I see a lot of fit girls struggling with glute development and they often have pointy wide ASIS and a flat lower back visually. So it's actually chronically tight glutes, and they have used "main-stream" glute-techniques of squeezing harder for years, actually the opposite of what they need.
Thry,like me sre probably pushed forward with their weight. Thus the glutes "grab" to compensate us falling forward. So we must open and ungrip the butt, via adductor involvement and hinge movements,exhaling fully oblique engage etc
This exercise is really amazing. I had been suffering from unexplained discomfort for about a year and had trouble sleeping, but when I activated my glutes, it felt as if my entire body was connected to my core, and my breathing became easier and I felt more relaxed. I would really like to thank Connor, but I would like you to explain the pattern of how the glutes become inactive and the changes that occur in the body at that time.
@@markinnis8404 Agreed. Public forums/platforms also need to allow for a diverse range of views and feedback. That’s not to say the obv offensive and disrespectful shouldn’t be moderated. It takes a lot to create quality content.
Your explanations are really great, but many of the exercises seem over-complicated. I’m sure they are intended to maximize whatever effect they are trying to get. Can we just get a set of simpler exercises that work the same problems, maybe not in the most efficient, but good enough and simple enough that I can easily follow them?
This is the 1st video I saw of his so I'm going with only this as a sample size but it's a simple exercise, it's just a lot of explaining of proper mechanics. It's a lot to focus on at 1st but with repetition proper mechanics become 2nd nature
@@PhenomenalOne23Meanwhile I can attest that for my problems seemingly simpler exercises haven't really worked great so far. When the mechanics of the hip aren't already working intuitively just doing glute bridges will not necessarily work because you gotta learn how to hinge properly, and that is precisely what this video addresses. I am curious of my results as it parallels what I learned recently from experience and other content, namely that it is not just about rotating the hip anterior, but rather about creating some space in the lower back, such that you can stretch out the hip, and then contract.
IF it were easy and had simple exercises, would we be on here trying to figure out how to get this to happen? No. Do you best to understand what he is sharing, it’s not simple.
I’ve been trying to follow the routine because some good comment. But omg it’s all so precise and subtle. My head is spinning but I’m still not sure what part of my body is stretching at that moment. Am I the only one ? Is it even possible to learn without the instructor watching over?
Conor.i was naturally stretching like this but I used living room chair.So I just sat on the arm,let my but go down to the seat and then leaned forward grabbing the bottom of my feet.I just wanted to mention how effective this is.
Hey Connor, can you make a video about morning SI joint stiffness? I don’t have Rheumatoid arthritis or Ankylosing Spondylitis (I have been to doctors about these, test results are negative). What could be my problem and my fix please help me out I really need help.
I have this as well, and yes the nerve goes through the SI joint. When the SI joint doesn't move proper i.e space it's to compressed. A weak glute also will allow the piriformis muscle to get irritated as it tries to compensate
Hey Connor, I've tried the movement in this video as well as a similar video of yours with the same movement. I've watched each many times over to make sure I'm doing it correctly - I end up with low-back pain the next day almost every time. Thinking this could be from my anterior pelvic tilt but wanted to see if you have any other ideas. Thanks and love the vids!
Hey Connor - do you have any recommendations for sets/rep frequencies for these? I've been doing them the past 3 days and they are indeed a game changer for waking up my glutes (which I so needed due to sitting so much during my day). I notice that if I take a pause of a minute or so between rounds of each of the exercises that I can actually sense my glutes way more just standing. Any logic/truth to that?
Thx for this, i have a hard time growing my left weaker glute and my right hip is hiked up 1in higher causing right side ql pain during right leg wlk lunges , right leg b stance rdls & also what about trouble growing upper glutes shelf?
Would you recommend doing this exercise with dumbbells if u can do 8x 110kg lef press 3 sets, but have a weak upperbody, definitely engraining this in my routine
For the prepatory exercise, what happens if you have functional leg length discrepancy, left leg shorter. Would you still stand on the book? Left leg: hip externally rotated, femur rotated, tibula internally, foot prolly internally rotated. Si joint unlocks. Left side doesn't move (bendover toe touches, sitting going from butt out to slouch). Right leg: hip internally rotated, tibia slightly internally rotated, foot prolly slightly internally rotated. Si joint dysfunction hypermobile. Right side moves. (I.e. bend over toe touches, sitting going from butt out to slouch).
Serious question... had an injury...fell on stairs. Now have an indentation...stair imprint... on one side of my bottom. Its been several months. I'd like to naturally get my booty to be symmetrical again.
Would it be possible for you to write down what you are explaining. English is not my native language and it would help me to follow your advice better. Thank you.
Hey Connor! Would you happen to know why I feel both the stretch and the exercise more in my hamstring and upper calf rather than the glute and how I might adress it?
Hey Conor I know this is off topic but what do you think about wisdom tooth extraction? One of my wisdom tooth grew in sideways. How does Ron hruska and the pri world feel about wisdom tooth extraction?
Also ive ask before ,how do we better sense our pinky toe? I never feel it or the pad, my feet [especially small toe] are crunched in from soccer shoes... ive bought wide toe box brooks..but the damage seems done..
I have the same problem , I recently bought earth runners to hike/run/ do anything non barefoot and wear toe spacers and go barefoot at home...and they are finally waking up so it's not too late! Good luck, it's only been a month for me.
You may need to find your inner foot arch, particularly your heel more through the lowering and the push. If not, you might want to connect your arch to your glute working more first with something like this: ruclips.net/video/pPmIKpPJP7c/видео.html
@@conorharris great tip, especially with the heel focus on the lowering+push! I can get my glute through that side lying activation you linked, thank you! It makes sense to repeat that glute connection with the side lying drill, exercise #2 from this video, and then continue to carry that over to exercise #1 with the cues... And keep practicing to lock it in!
Going to add to this and say I persisted with the inner heel foot contact at the bottom, and paused several times on the way up and really connected to the glute and went slow. Success 🙌
Then you are probably stuck in anterior pelvic tilt and you can still do these, just put more emphasis on your ribs not flaring up/low back arching a lot
@conorharris it's hard, but ya I cam feel it contract and "pull " me up, I and others I bet are turning our pelvis far to much, or pelvis is tipped before we even start? Thus mechanically the glute is inhibited ?
why do I feel the hamstring (left) more than the glute max and constant pain in the glute medius (left) and QL (left). Is it because my left glutes are weak and glute medius is in compensation state. can anyone help me with this
also weak/inactive knee flexors and obliques maybe. when you exercise them and do glute bridges, squats and such, try going barefoot and mind the weight distribution between heels and points of contact mentioned in the video. That can help with reaching more neutrality.
Can you do this for lower abs too? I feel like my weak abs (i always tend to skip those in the past) give me anterior pelvic tilt, which seems to hurt my tailbone when seated. Not sure if it makes sense but its what i think

Exactly. In order for a muscle to contract concentrically it has to move from a place of relative lengthening aka eccentric orientation 😉💪
It's amazing how trying this ONCE has my body saying "YES, THIS IS WHAT I WANTED THANK YOU" lol! wow!
Love those background tunes that have been introduced into these ever more helpful videos 👌🏻
Anyone notice Conor is getting leaner? Looks good.

When we put our hand in our glute during the hinge, do you feel it contract? And if not we have something amiss?
Glad you like them!
Things I've never heard or seen before. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for this excellent video. I look forward to improving my posterior pelvic tilt using this.
Thank you for uploading so much quality information for free.
The second exercise is brilliant

Just do a lots of glute back/ side kicks in standing!
Looks good but prob too much for my lower back issue right now but will ask my PT for future. Thx 🙏
Hey Connor, if Ifeel this problem in my both sides, would it be correct to apply these exercises for both sides? Whether I am a PEC model or not
Does waking up the glutes help sciatica? I lost much my glutes by sitting hours at a time driving rideshare. Thank you for this video.
It absolutely can. The stretch + one of the exercises that works best for you can make a significant difference
@@conorharris Thank you!

Would you recommend doing this exercise with dumbbells if u can do 8x 110kg lef press 3 sets, but have a weak upperbody, definitely engraining this in my routine
How would you program these? Just anytime or would they be best used before a lower body workout, for example?

I don’t need more stretching due to femoral anteversion!
Could this work for a trapped femoral nerve?
Hey Connor! Would you happen to know why I feel both the stretch and the exercise more in my hamstring and upper calf rather than the glute and how I might adress it?
I also feel the first one in my hamstrings
How to progress for “hypertrophy”, like to grow it for aesthetic reason 😂 bulgarian split squat?
Maybe barbell RDLs? They’re great for working the glutes in the lengthened position and allow you to load it with weights.
Hey Conor I know this is off topic but what do you think about wisdom tooth extraction? One of my wisdom tooth grew in sideways. How does Ron hruska and the pri world feel about wisdom tooth extraction?

Likely similar problem and the stretch may help
When we put our hand in our glute during the hinge, do you feel it contract? And if not we have something amiss?
Not in that area exactly, it should be contracting lower than that. The hand is there to feel the hips sense pushing “back” into something
