[@GuerrillazenFitness]

thanks for making these time stamps...I'm sure people will find this useful! I do recommend listening to the beginning part tho as that's very important to understand!

[@K4R3N]

@@GuerrillazenFitness agree. Entire video was well done

Those are words of the wisest teachers in history. “Don’t take it from me, try it for yourself.” Blake thank you for making videos that are accessible!!

My pleasure!

Great video man. I really got value from the "tight hip flexor" meaning possibly long, tight and weak. Game changer. I am going to try these assessments and exercises.
I have recently found that if my core (or possibly some of the hip flexors/glutes) are not engaged properly, I get weakness/pain in my knees. Sometimes a crunching sound (painless). Any idea what this could be?

[@GuerrillazenFitness]

Glad to hear it! Regarding your second part, no I don't know what that could be...

[@birgip.m.1236]

I have heard that tight / shortened quads (& I would think tight/ short hip flexors) can pull up on the knee and cause knee issues as a result. Apparently, strengthening the glutes (without engaging the quads) may be helpful.

[@kimdavis1091]

Super! Would this help my torn hip labrum ? Thank you

[@GuerrillazenFitness]

That's something to ask your doctor about...but probably not. These are hip flexor strengthening exercises...not something specific to the labrum

[@A1tch1]

Can you make a video on sternoclavicular joint popping and stability

[@GuerrillazenFitness]

Possibly...do other people have this issue? Like this comment if so!

[@edieyoung2700]

Could you give exercises for anterior tilt /sway back

[@GuerrillazenFitness]

I've made SO many videos on anterior tilt already I'd encourage you to watch those old ones....sway back is almost completely the opposite and this video applies more to that

[@birgip.m.1236]

For knee raise, couldn't resistance bands be used instead of a weight?

haha, happy to have you here bud

Blake, what is more common for a person sitting 8 hours a day in front of a computer? Pelvis tilt or its shift? When I hang on the bar and raise my straight legs to the head, then lower them down to the parallel (to the ground) position I feel immense tension in my quads. It is a sign of weak flexors and the pelvis shift right ?

[@GuerrillazenFitness]

Really depends on HOW you sit....is your pelvis slumped out infront of your or are you arching your back? In my experience the frontal shift with weak hip flexors is most common...there are a few exceptions tho

[@birgip.m.1236]

The pelvic shift may be common with males,
While the anterior tilt or back sway may be more common amongst females.

Suffering from psoas nerve entrapment and there is no video to solve my problem

[@ea2620]

For years I have been stretching no wonder I developed the bad posture. My PT gave me wrong advice!

Digging those shorts 😍
