Actually I've tried some kind of Vincent's reverse approach to this exercise and started with pressing down contraction with both my knee and my foot and after doing so I was able to rise my foot up a few inches with almost no struggle comparing to pressing up contraction and then trying to rise my foot up. It's a huge difference! Thanks for all your excellent stuff!
Wow, this was super helpful. Do you recommend to also do these stretches standing, with one leg holding you up and the other is bent but placed on a stool or table and you lean forward? Similarly as shown at the 4 minute mark.
I've got to try this, i developed a hip shift months ago and I worked only on the right side without much result, going to work on the left side now hopefully that will help. Now the right side of my torso is very tight, infact my entire right side is much tighter than the left. The right hip also seems to be sitting higher than my left as if my left leg is shorter but I've never noticed that before!
Is this the same recommendation for if you kind of corkscrew/shift to one side out of the hole in the squat... typically only the heavier sets. I'm assuming this is some sort of imbalance or bad movement pattern?
Aren't the mechanics the same? When you shift to one side one hip internally rotates and the other externally rotates? It could also be a tight QLO on one side. I say apply the stretch from this video and if it doesn't work after a while look into QLO stretches/ foam rolling.
Interesting. I have this exact problem, except my RIGHT hip has crappy internal rotation (worse than left) and I have trouble firing the LEFT glute. Terrible external rotation on the left. Left psoas weak & tight, right rectus femoris tight. Right gluteus medius weak. Left lateral rotators always tight. Left core / obliques weak. Right overactive. Any ideas on this?
I also struggle with poor external rotation but on the right side - obliques, psoas and glutes are strong and tight. While on the left side it is completely opposite - all is weak and with excessive external rotation and lack of internal. Well, the reason it's happening I came up with is right thoracic scoliosis and other types apply as well. It lowers down the rib cage on the left side lifting a hip up and squeezing obliques and twists your pelvis on the right side which causes this bad hip hinge and consequently other things like ext int rotations. The same issue applies to the upper body, your shoulder girdle, one shoulder is up and twisted forwards. Key words I used to fix this problem was 'hip hinge' actually. Hope you don't have any curvature of your spine, otherwise it's almost impossible to reverse and maintain side muscle balance.
Would this apply if my right hip is lower in my squat ? I couldn’t tell from seeing him squat but I just wanna know if it’s the same issue because my right knee is that one that can’t extend far into external rotation but my right hip is the one that’s lower in the squat. In this video his right knee is that one that can’t go internal external rotation with the left hip shift. Hope that wasn’t too confusing

Vincent's Intro!! that was fucking priceless!!!

I am almost in the same boat.
very very helpful video. thanks
does vincent have a youtube channel?
Arrgggghhhh, Vincent! Stop staring at me!!!
what mobility or stretch excercise to do if you cant do a squat at all? thanks
Do this on both sides as well
My left hip sinks lower when I am in the down position of a squat. Would these exercises/tips still help? Do you know what that might be caused from?
Imbalance of your Quadratus Lumborum either left side weak/tight or the right side depending on which side your hip drops...
Yeah , should
Matt, can you give me information how to fix a Posterior Pelvic Tilt?
Stretch your upper hamstrings, rectus abdominus. Strengthen your hip flexors and lower back muscles

I don't have scoliosis, no.

You need to do exactly how they are doing. But , no harm in doing both sides too
