I’ve been doing a lot of lying hamstring curls lately and I believe I’ve been compensating with my hips. I can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate everything you and everyone you work with do for us average guys and girls.
👍 fixing hip problems cured my 20yrs of back pain...took About 2 yrs to fully correct and at times more painful than the full time back pain I was addressing...now I just have a few set of specific drill I do a week and it’s easy to maintain
@@greenbladesofgrass just about all hip muscles tie into low back spine so anything tight tugs spine out of position thru movement...so there is a few..but the concept is to get strong in the stretched position...so ass to grass paused front squats is a easy one to describe...but I include some palates and weighted yoga with the applied concept to achieve free and mobile hips
I appreciate you saying that sometimes ego needs to be set aside for improvement. Sometimes you have to lift lighter to lift more. I learned this lesson doing physical labor involving getting a job done quickly. Sometimes you have to slow down to go fast. I am glad I found your channel.
I guess I’m Guilty of needing a people’s elbow on my pelvis during hammy curls as well. I never knew that was a compensation thing. This is a good video, listening to it at work.
Followed you because of Juji but now I'm a huge fan. I need to come to the Lions Den so you can personally train me so I can look like you! You're a beast!
“Why am I shaking” > the neural limit has been reached. People utilise compensations all over the shop for all sorts of movements to avoid problem areas. Difficulties occur when the problem areas are your breathing system, the often forgotten element of the ‘core’.
Joey, I could not even begin to tell you how cool this was! I appreciate your channel and the info you’re putting out there! 🙏 Killing the stache game too man!
Firstly, awesome ideas and video as always! I have struggled with hip/back issues as well. I cannot stress how much minimal shoes have changed my hips and back. Having thick soles and raised heels (normal shoes), caused all kinds of misalignment and made my feet really weak. Having weak feet was an aspect of stregth and longevity that I never considered. But its the foundation. I am not a strongman, but I run, hike, and lift. My strength, economy, and speed all drastically increased when i stopped wearing normal shoes. Also my old pains (lots of past injuries) went away and my back appears to have straightened. Lems, Vivo Barefoot, Luna Sandals, and Xero are some good brands. It changed my life, and I reccomend them to everyone. And your channel is the best, it has been pivotal in helping me learn to lift, and not be so self conscious at the gym 🙌🙏
You are a great inspiration to me at the moment. I tore both my hammies on Tuesday after watching you and Juji doing leg day I was so motivated and I overworked myself😂. But trying to stay positive and work on what I can ass well.
Great video Joey, been dealing with some hip tightness and APT when doing back squats and variations. Proper stability is a huge component of fixing and preventing pain!
I’d be interested to hear if you had been feeling the hamstring curl in your lower back before. Him making it more difficult by pushing your hips down might have been more to do with applying a novel stimulus. Since you aren’t adapted to doing it that way, it might appear to be more difficult. Not necessarily because you aren’t in an optimal position. It looks like you have done a pretty good job growing your hamstrings without this advice.
Pushing your hips down in that position means more extended hip. Since the hamstring also extends the hip, this change brings the hamstring to an even more contracted position, which is much harder to maintain
@@SzatStrength yeah but certain narratives can nocebo people and make them afraid of movement/exercise ("maybe my hips are fucked and I shouldn't exercise until they are fixed!"). dont you think, as a fitness professional, that it is your job to encourage people, not make them feel broken and need fixing?
Your biomechanics aren't really suited to those hamstring curl machines, which are designed more for ordinary size people like your friend here. You're too tall and your legs are too long to meaningfully contract the weight lever, which carries itself with momentum for the top half of the rep. What you really need to make that work would be a hamstring curl bench with some kind of cable pulley system like a seated row behind it to maintain constant tension. Or just do axe kicks with a vertical cable with it attached to your ankle.

Consider going on a trail ride. It will help teach you control over your muscles. But the horse will need to be a monster.
Like Bugez says, every movement is a full body movement
This is very true
Except bench press. Bench press causes so much skeleton imbalances
@@jayee172 have you seen bugez gorilla bench press?
I love how humble this dude is, super awesome to see.
Thank you had lower back issues after lying leg curls, i did exactly the same

Seariously thank you for actually digging into this, I was super curious when I saw them mention that in the other video
Love your content Joe!
Commenting for the algorithm!
Another good one Joey. You're on a roll lately, despite that tear!

This is amazing Joey. My back and hips are so jacked from bjj and lifting. I needed this baaaaaaaaaad.
Seeing you next to someone who is in as good as shape as he is in is crazy. You’re a beast dude 🤣

that is insane, his hips are literally swinging like crazy i gotta film myself 100% chance im doing this too
OMG. I have the same issue. Thank you for this video.
Huge, HUGE help!
Always learning, love it!
Nice infromational vid keep them coming 💪
*Pelvis starts to rock and roll
Sam: slow isolated jazz only in EliteFTS
this is extremely knowledgeable. also nice moustache
It's also very grossly incandescent.
I find Nordic curls help this issue and leg curl machines are useless now if you’re just worried about overall strength and health.
Fantastic video!
Hmm very intresting.. trying to fix my hip problems after squatting too hard and getting serious injuries..good video
Thank you so much for this video. 🙌👍👍
Interesting Video 💯💪🏼
for sure
More of this info its gold dust !!!!
Hey big Joey any plans for another strongman competition soon?
Having fucked up hips, this is a great video for me
Sorry for being that guy but @ 2:37 it takes a lot of trust that some one wont hit you with the protein dust at moments like that by accident.
If I let my pelvis rock I start to get sharp/excruciating lower back pain from old Motorsports injuries. Deadlift help a lot though.
So on lying hamstring curls are you supposed to have a good arch in your back
How awesome is it to have access to that well of knowledge at EliteFTS!
So grateful I can’t wait to return

This is awesome, I’m following along whilst in bed and my lower back already feels better
What about on a seated leg/hamstring curl?
There’s less hip movement than a laying hamstring curl but is there any concerns?
you're beating up your body like it owes you money... respect.
Haha my body is resting like a champ right now ;) …. For now….
This was fukin fantastic
Barbell Medicine has entered the chat...
Yeah yeah yeah I’m pretty open minded so everyone to just sharing content and my experiences

Joeys a big strong dude. Hahahaha. It’s all mustache and tattoos
The stuff you don’t think about
If you still cannot hold your pelvis in place even though you focus on it, it's time to reduce the weight.
