    Chris Duffin is a genius, he should run for President so he can save all the yolos out there from snap city

    This is pure gold. This is the ultimate level of knowledge: Scientific approach proven empirically, and transmitted by experienced people. I don't even know how to thank you guys. You have absolutely no idea who i am, yet you have become my coaches. Through SuperTraining videos and Chris Duffin videos I have been able to fix a number of problems I had been struggling with for years. I hadn't been able to squat pain-free for weeks due to FAI in my right hip. I tried this warmup and this is the FIRST time in weeks and weeks that I have been able to really produce power under the barbell and complete a full ROM with NO SIGN OF HIP PAIN. I also was able to go through my full workout with no belt at all (I'm guessing the glute activation part did wonders , my hips felt as if someone injected holy water right into my hip joints guys, I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO THANK YOU. PLEASE RECEIVE MY ABSOLUTE WORD OF GRATITUDE from Venezuela

    This is amazing for rehab /prehab and avoiding muscle imbalances. Especially for those with knee pains which are 90% of the time caused by hip weaknesses. Great info guys!

    The hip airplane could also be used as an intervention for low back pain through postisometric stretching of the iliopsoas which is usually tight in over trained athletes

    Ive been doing this as a warmup and following some of Chris's tips of compression in the groin from his older videos after I tore my groin about 2 months back and im at about 90% of my pre injury now. Glad to see he incorporates the hip circle in the sumo goblets now because I have been doing the same for a while and man do my glutes fire.

  • @williamcanty5122
    @williamcanty5122 8 років тому +1

    This is great content. I don't do any stretching before a workout. I just activate my glutes, ab and adductors, core and then try to co-contract all of these under a "brace". And my mobility in the squat has improved so much.

    Thank you guys for this video. I'm a beginner getting into powerlifting and I have been experiencing lower back pain after I squat and deadlift. I am now doing these warmups before I lift and now I am able to lift heavy and experience no pain afterwards. thank you Mark Bell, Chris Duffin and Silent Mike.

    I did these warm ups, but i did all four done as a "circuit" so to speak rather than one then the other. I was having issues with my hips and back at around 545lb wrapless on squats. Did this the next week, I got 545 for an all out 6 because of this. Everything moved like butter. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS!! I did it for my deadlifts as well. I had to work up to 675 for 3x3, and god damn it made it feel so smooth. Prevents me from "lurching" forward on both lifts. Well done Chris, Mike and Mark!

  • @dylanpaolone9157
    @dylanpaolone9157 9 років тому

    I've been doing some of these as my warm ups for about 6 months and have seen improvement all around. I PR'd 23lbs on my Deadlift in 2 months thanks to Chris's videos. Very valuable insight on how to que the proper firing patterns in the muscles used most for squats and deadlifts.

  • @roderickhullaby2579

    After months of foam rolling before skwats and being unable to find an effective warmup circuit, I tried this today and felt as good if not better than foam rolling before. Quicker and not as gay as having to roll. Did these exercises in a circuit 2-3 times and will use before every skwat sesh. Keep up the vids man, all of them are so helpful for powerlifting novices

    Ive been having problems with my hip flexors hurting on one side or the other after a heavy set, but this warmup routine has completely fixed it! Also my joints don't pop on the way down anymore and I'm able to squat deeper.

  • @NickWalczak11
    @NickWalczak11 6 років тому

    this was so helpful Mark! I've had an annoying lower back injury over the last few years and I think its because my hips are so tight. I haven't consistantly warmed up properly for squats and deadlifts and it kills. After doing these my hips and lower back feel better. I'm going to do this before I hit deadlifts tomorrow, I cant wait!
