    I think I had this issue for a very long time (years). I think the advice in the video is great but I would like to add to it. For those people who have uneven hips when squatting and maybe also one of your inner thighs is weirdly tense that it almost hurts stretching it? You also might have hip/lower back pain on one side? I will just talk about what I think my issue is/was and how I think I fixed it. I will name some anatomical words but you can look them up very easily.
    - Train the gluteus medius. I think my problem was a weak gluteus medius (I did not notice it at all). Its the muscle that lifts your leg side ways (hip abduction). Because it was weak, the QL (Quadratus Lumborum) muscle had to do the work. The QL muscle is very much deep inside your body. It connects pelvis and spine and is a supporter muscle. If it gets tight from the strain, one side of the hip/ pelvis will lift up. Training the gluteus medius will loosen the QL (at least from what I got from my research).
    - Look for Pilates exercises for the corresponding muscles. Just try them for a week. If your problems are not better shame on me. 15 minutes of Pilates and hip gymnastics make all the difference for me.
    - Train you lower back, just a little bit every day. Lay on the stomach and lift you legs or something. It doesn't has to be much.
    - Stretch your Gracilis if your inner thigh is tight
    - Do couch stretch. Especially when you sit all day. No, you are not flexible enough.
    Well, thats my two cents.
    TLDR: Do Pilates for the hips!
    EDIT: BTW. I did not notice that my hip was uneven until I film myself from the front while doing 40kg front squats. When doing squats without weight, my hips were just fine.

      One point though - I've never had before problems with hipshift. Only after training yoga for few months I got to the point where I do. And Power Pilates session fixes it almost immediately. I guess yoga relaxes hips and some muscles too much and then something doesnt get activated - after pilates session it's all good.

    This is EXACTLY what I needed. I didn’t understand why when I squatted that I could see more of my left hamstring I’m the mirror. I thought I was training incorrectly. But yes been having right hip pain and so I’m sure have been compensating. Therefore the shift. Thanks so much!

    I have had a client with this same problem (much worse right leg went straight forward he was so far over).
    He is now a lot more stable and using the light weight slow tempo to teach the mind muscle connection. I gave him stretches and strengthening exercises to do between sessions and he is doing a lot better already. This video has given me some more ideas to help speed up the recovery. His came from a car crash and back injury about 10months ago that was still causing problems when he came to me. In short... Great video it will help in his recovery.

  • @easypeasy7584
    @easypeasy7584 2 года назад

    I had the same problem for a long time. I am super surprised, that the glutes are actually stronger in the tighter side. Really surprised. I have always been wondering why the glutes on my right side are thinner and seem to not grow at the same speed as my left side as well as why I am super unstable during unilateral exercises on that side with a very tight qudratus lumborum and popping peroneus tendon. I hope I am able to adress this issue now properly. I tried the assisted airplanes and my hip muscles started cramping horribly. So I definitely hit the right spot. Thanks for that video. It is helping me a lot and I will now add the airplane stretches to my ankle mobilty stretches before my lower body workouts. The one legged glute bridge/hip thrust is already a staple in my Routine, however I have always been wonderin why the weak side always felt off even though I recently started realizing that my lower back muscles step in for help which definitely overstrains them. But I didnt find an explaination for this apart from having a contorted hip. Seems like some very bad chain reactions going on there 😅. But thanks to you I have high hopes that I can fix the problem now.

    Do these exercises increase joint mobility long term or just short term? I’m having some ankle (and potentially hip) mobility/stability issues, and the ankle and hip warm-ups only seem to increase mobility for a little while, and it’s back to being stiff the next day. Will overall mobility increase over time, or are these exercises something I’ll just always have to do before every squat and deadlift session?

    @theinfamousbear0001 3 года назад

    While extreme cases of asymmetrical movements should be corrected. The human body isn't perfectly symmetrical and usually doesn't preform all movements as such. It's easy to show this with just a bar or pair of 25's on a bar but under actual load your own individual asymmetrys will be there they shouldn't be demonized unless they are causing actual pain in which most cases is usually a technique issues and less of a mobility restriction.
