Most people skip over this exercise because it looks too simple. Meanwhile it’s one of the BEST ways to build stronger, more functional hips for deep squats. Not just “open” hips… Hips that actually feel stable and powerful under load.✊

#GainzDealerTipofTheDay Major Deadlift KEY👇 Sit “BACK” into the hips! ➡️ One of the most common deadlift mistakes I see in a lot of lifters is starting with the hips either too high or too low at the start of the lift. One of my favorite ways to remedy this is to sit back until you feel the load in your glutes. This will create an “anchor” with your hips and from there you call pull your chest up and push with your legs to initiate the lift. If the hips are in the right spot, it will feel like the weight is going to “leverage” itself right off the ground due to the tension felt in the glutes at this time. The hip height on this is going to look different on everyone depending on individual leverages, but the sensation and overall function of the cue will be the same. At the start of a deadlift, we want our hips at the highest they can be with our shoulders in line with the bar. This cue will help to accomplish that! Bookmark this and share it out for me if you found this helpful!

The Indo Board is not just balance, it’s: • Deep core strength • Better coordination and body awareness • Stronger ankles, knees, and hips • Faster reaction time • Athletic stability that shows up in everything I do Would you try it? 💕

This one looks simple until you actually try it. Your core has to stay switched on while your shoulders, chest and legs do the work. Keep your hips steady and don’t rush the reps. Control first. Speed later. 💪

How to Create Rotation With the Back Leg How you want to actually create rotation with the back leg. For me and higher level guys, I don’t even like to think about rotation. If you feel your hips rotating, it’s probably too slow. This is such a violent, explosive movement that happens in milliseconds. You shouldn’t even be able to feel it. That’s why I think about it as a weight shift. When you’re putting force into the ground, into that X direction, most of your weight is on the back leg. Then once you create that impulse and it propels you forward, all you need to think about is getting to the front leg. That force naturally rotates the hips into foot plant. For a lot of higher level guys, this helps a lot. They don’t have to think about rotating the hips. Because that can actually mess things up. Instead, it’s just force into the ground and get to the front leg. The pelvis will rotate on its own.

The Zen Swing looks simple, but it’s powerful medicine. By gently rocking your legs side to side, you’re creating a wave that travels up the spine, flushing the nervous system and stimulating circulation. It helps release tension in the hips and lower back, improves lymphatic

Hard to sit like this? If it is, it’s a sign…and not a good one. It means your hips are stuck and can’t move properly, which is a problem. That can lead to not just hip problems but lots of lower back problem

Mobility work isn’t about becoming a yoga guy. It’s about still being able to move heavy weight at 50 without your body filing for bankruptcy. Most gym injuries are strains and tears. Muscles stretching past what they can handle because there’s no strength in those deeper ranges. One awkward rep and suddenly you’re explaining to your wife why you need help putting on socks. Mobility fixes that. You build control where most guys are brittle. Your big lifts improve because you can actually access full range. Recent studies even show stretching itself builds muscle. And that chronic tension you’re carrying in your hips and shoulders isn’t just physical. Clear that up and your head feels better too. Stress likes to hide in tight muscles. The key: treat it like strength work. Cut the junk volume. Focus for a minute or two per movement. Actually progress the range and load over time. Intentional, not going through the motions while scrolling your phone. Here I’m hitting cossack squats for my hips. Cheap insurance.

This is the best stretch on the planet that no one is doing. It's called the World's Greatest Stretch. Move #1 - The forearm to instep exercise stretches out your hips and adductors. Move #2 - The thoracic windmill helps open up your chest and activate your upper back. Move #3 - The push back stretches out your calves and hamstrings. Do this for 6-8 reps before a workout or between desk sessions. Your hips and back will thank you.

“America has never been one thing. It’s a collision of people, places, accents, arguments, songs, recipes, beliefs and grudges. That can make us difficult, it can also make us extraordinary. The country is not powerful because everyone is the same, it is powerful because at our best we keep finding ways to build something together out of all that difference” -Ken Burns on Rediscovering America

This Hip Airplane is one of the more popular hip mobility exercises, but the problem is, most people don’t do it right. They end up training compensation rather than creating more space in their hips. Here’s what you need to know for better results 👇

One of the most underrated exercises on the planet that no one wants to do are Cossack Squats. They open up tight hips, knees, and ankles while training your adductors in one move. If you can't do this, start by holding hold onto a doorframe, go shallow, elevate your heel or hip as needed, and sink a bit deeper each week.

The exercise that most people have never even seen that can build your chest and pressing power the most It’s an exercise that has no home, no faction has made it famous. Allow me to share the benefits First, you actually already use this concept on other exercises. You barbell row, and you single arm row. Why wouldn’t you also barbell bench, and single arm bench? Second, most people would agree they have a stronger side. Usually the dominant arm is stronger. This exercise is great for ensuring you don’t have a large strength discrepancy on your arms, and if you do, this exercise can fix that for you. Single arm pressing is also going to train the core. A lot of people new to this exercise will actually report a lot of abdominal soreness, and you get this from bracing and stabilizing the load on one side and no load on the other. The weight creates a “sling” effect for the core. This is what makes single arm bench much different than just alternating bench. Lastly I think the triceps are trained much more directly than 2 arm variations which helps transfer to not only bench but overhead press as well

#PuntFactory Teach Tape 📝 I have said for YEARS - “Shoulders forward, arm relaxed.” Why do I say that? Putting your shoulders forward moves your hips back - think of EVERY movement you do in the weight room to become stronger… cleans, squats, box-jumps, deadlifts etc. THEY. ALL. MIMIC. THIS. MOTION. You are spending that much time under the bar to do what… stand tall & NOT translate onto the field? Shoulders forward = hips back = POWER Shoulders tall = hips underneath or in front of you = LESS HIP EXTENSION AND LESS POWER — Arm relaxed = leverage By keeping your drop arm relaxed you keep the ballin your wheelhouse - think of it as throwing yourself a fastball down the middle. Pushing the ball out to your foot & having your drop arm extended = having to shoot your hips forward at contact & LOSING LEVERAGE! — SHOULDERS FORWARD, ARM RELAXED Keep it up fellas 🤙🏼 PS - if you want to improve, hit me up for virtual film sessions or get down to Nashville to train with the best 👈🏼

People are waking up to the power of zerchers You should use Zerchers because they’re excellent for: • Grooving squat mechanics • Building the upper back and traps • Reinforcing strong trunk bracing • Being easier to learn than front squats • Requiring less mobility than front squats • Being friendlier on the wrists and shoulders • Opening up the hips • Look badass But don’t use Zerchers just because they “look like the sport.”
