      Talk about Schlatter’s disease. I always get the bump on my lower left patella when I deadlift with high intensity and frequency. Not bad when I squat. I’ve wrapped it on occasion.

      Knee issues after squat intensive workout. I get pain under kneecap AND at back of knee almost 100% of the time after doing a squat type exercise such as wall balls or back squats.

      Would you advise adding hip abduction work if weakness is evident? I think tightness in my adductors left side is associated with weaker hip abductors on that side.

    When I’m performing bird dogs, it feels like the ligaments in the back of my knee are popping or snapping in full leg extension. It’s not painful just annoying. Do you know what this is? Have you had clients that experience this? Is there anything I can do to stop it from happening? Thanks! You’re channel is incredibly helpful!!

      Popping sound is your tendon moving noise which is absolutely normal. To stop it you can do a good warm up. Or try do little hot pack (if you have injurie and can’t jog)

    Wondering about the hip mobility, is there a reason why you focused only on hip external rotation? wouldn't internal rotation, flexion, and extension also play a role? Thanks for the good content like always.

    I have been experiencing tightness (with knots) at my left QL and left glute medius. And along with it, a L5 sciatica like symptom for many years... Tried multiple approach and physio but didn't help. What do you think most likely could be the cause?

    Hi. I have a question about the kettlebell exercise. If I were to continually perform this exercise, say everyday would that in theory bring equilibrium to the tighter hip or would other exercises have to be implemented along with stretching and also on both sides?

    • @LugalKiEn2126
      @LugalKiEn2126 Рік тому

      It depends on your kb routine. If the program is all glutes and hams, not much quads, then u need to add it in. Swings alone are a hinge movement, like a Deadlift. You can't just do deads without squats basically.

      This sounds like dehydration. Preworkouts tend to have a lot of caffeine in them. So, if you're already poorly hydrated, you'll be even more dehydrated by the caffeine, resulting in tight muscles.

      @@JDXOGG Dehydration causes muscle tightness/cramping.
      That doesn't necessarily mean it's your issue, but if you specifically get tight when you drink pre-workout, it's likely that you're not hydrated enough.
      The root issue, especially if it's specifically your low back and not other places, is muscle weakness/imbalance.
