Hip Mobility Exercises

[Roberto2]

ello,

 

I've been going to the gym for a few years now, on and off tho.  I'm 6'6" and I need some tips for hip mobility.  I do power movements (squats, sumo DLs, bench) but I always have problems with my hips fucking up.  If I overwork it my right side gets sore as fuck and I have to stop doing the movements for a few days/week or so.  I use a foam roller before I go to the gym and take advil because my knee gets sore, but my hips always feel tight.  I've looked up some mobility routines but I wanted some actual opinions on which ones work best if anyone else does this.

 

thank ya

It's probably your hamstrings more than your hips.

Stretch your hamstrings every day for a few weeks, can do with friend or with a strong resistance band. Simply pull leg towards your chest keeping it straight for 10-30 seconds. Do it 3 times each leg pulling further each time. Feel it stretch but don't pull to point of sharp pains.

I'll get you videos when I'm home later, I smashed my hamstring, hip and ankle mobility for a few weeks and now I can squat below parallel and without any leaning forward with ease...

Another simple one is get some 5kg plates or small plates and bang them under your heels and drop into an air squat as low as you can whilst fighting to keep your chest upright.... Maybe not make the full range of motion but again feel the stretch and hold it and eventually you will get lower and deeper each time

I think it's a little bit of both.  When I do the hip machines that roids was talking about my hips were sore as fuck and had even less mobility than before.  I've been doing some hip and hamstring stretches and it seems to feel better.  Just been doing lightweight so I don't fuck up my hips.

 

Aaand I do cardio too, but that just makes my hips even tighter after my workout is done.
