This information saved my life! I lived with lower back pain for years and it only kept getting worse after each doctor visit. Medication wasn't helping and the constant pain really affected my mood. I definitely stopped socializing because of the pain and it was really taking over my life. These exercises immediately relieved most of my pain. I am sure there are more stories like mine out there which you haven't heard. Thanks for doing what you do brother and please keep doing it because you're changing lifes.
After years I'm so happy you opened up the comment section. Thank you again trevor. I subscribed years ago. Haven't seen a video in a long time. You look great by the way.
I’m a combat veteran, served 8 years in the Marines, and multiple deployments to Iraq. After coming home I’ve tried everything from chiropractors, message, and acupuncture for my lower back-pain. None of them helped for more then a couple of weeks. I’ve added in your stretches and exercises into my workout warmup, and 90% of the pain and discomfort I’ve been dealing with has been elevated. Thank you for putting these videos out man!
This finally allowed me to do squats and deadlifts. I went through 3 years in the army infantry with tight power back and was miserable because I didn't understand how to stretch. Thankyou for unlocking fitness for me.
This is awesome, someone who understands there's more than just weak muscles within the body. My only tweak would be to release the QL before stretching. This way you can get rid of trigger points that could be keeping the muscle tight. And then when you stretch it, it would be even easier.
Hey Trevor! Been benefiting from your channel for years (thank you, btw). Time to give back. So insects typically don't run across the room (into the open where they can be eaten). They prefer to follow the baseboards. So to mitigate the scorpion problem, by getting some Roach Motels n place em along the baseboards. They crawl in but can't crawl out 'cause they get stuck in the glue. PRO TIP: once they have a few "guests" in em, turn em upside down. The "ceiling" now becomes the new "floor" with glue on it. At least they used to. Start with one per room 'cause the scent in those traps stinks like beef bullion. And QUIT LEAVING YOUR DAMN SHOES/ CLOTHES ON THE FLOOR! ;-)
Mate this is brilliant im a mobile truck tyre fitter and have hip knee and ankle issues on one side and this is my problem I had a hip problem when I was young and it does feel that I put more pressure on one side all the doctors do is give you anti inflammatory tablets but this really helped thanks
Thanks for this! I'm continuously nursing my QL's... Long story short I slept wrong for decades, drove wrong for decades (Left ass cheek up on side bolster a little bit). Finally blew out my left QL moving 5,000 lb of firewood three different times (bend lift twist, bend lift twist action). Never had so much pain. Finally found somebody to work on it properly, with a super deep type of myofascial release. Took a couple years to regain my posture and strength. New sub here... Merry Christmas to you.
Mate.... Right now I'm in bad shit pain. You've sorted my elbows out, and I won't go nowhere I scroll like a mad man cos I know you've covered it. Had this shit fr 15 years and hits twice a year. Keep ya posted bro
I have power lifted for 20yrs and I failed to stretch ever. In my 30s it began to be my demise. I started having deep and in ways debilitating pains. Some X-rays and MRIs revealed it was always muscular. Essentially I was destroying my body and causing old man aches. I coach high school football and wrestling and I was the typical coach who would tell of stories of when I was mobile and athletic. Well once I realized the 20yrs worth of error of ways, I tried stretching and watched videos and nothing seemed to work which only caused me to give up stretching. Brother, your videos have changed my life. I mean it, sounds a bit extravagant I know. But the neck pains I had for 8 straight years since doing nothing but power lighting while on military deployment, and the bicep tendon pain that prevented me from lifting my hand above my shoulder, began to limit my mobility to the point of port quality of life. I started getting those headaches caused by the tight traps, which started off only on occasion but grew to one every 3 or 4 days. They felt like migraines and caused me to get up out of bed at 3am at times because sleeping caused the headache to get much worse. My point is, your videos discussing alleviating lower back pains, shoulder pains, neck pains, and tearing the muscles away from the areas they are restricting, literally changed my life. So yes please continue to create these videos, I’ve begun to tell other coaches and my athletes about your videos and how to maintain physical health while training like a professional athlete. My athletes certainly aren’t professionals but my wrestlers train like college wrestlers for sure. My son is a high school state finalist and a Greco Roman state champ, my daughter is a girls folkstyle and Greco high school state champ and both kids are freestyle state finalists. The high school team I coach had 7 state placers and a top 5 team finish before Covid hit. So we train like a college room, and I warn the athletes to avoid following my footsteps of competing at a high level but never treating my body as the vessel that allowed me to do that. Anyways I cannot thank you enough for these videos. It’s not just the info delivered, it’s how you deliver it that makes sense. So please continue to make these!!!!
Great no bs videos that are science based and logical. Love it! Im a pt of 30 years and whenever i find a painful QL I always check the contralateral glute medius for weakness. They co-contract during gait and when 1 is weak , the other usually compensates and becomes overworked / strained. Just a tidbit Thanks for ur enthusiastic and informative vids👍
Trevor, thanks! Part of the reason the QL can go into spasm is lack of thoracic flexibility and weak hips. The low back tries to accommodate by being both strong and flexible but it will never be as flexible as the t spine or as strong as the hips. Any discussion of low back pain should address fundamental "chest up" posture. T spine and hip work. Love your content; use your stuff all the time.
He is exactly on point with those stretches and strengthening moves. Watch a video about a year ago about tennis elbow and it cleared up in about a week. Listen to this guy. He knows his stuff.
I don’t know who you are but I owe you a debt of gratitude. For real. I would wake up with really bad lower back pain on my right side to the point it was difficult to walk. Yoga helped but it would take roughly 30-60 min to get measurable relief. Just doing the stretches and “scorpion spray can” (I used a tampered glass water bottle) gave my back almost instant relief in about 5 min. This is a game changer for me and for the naysayers, I’ve been doing these suggested exercises for almost a week and they work every single time. Thanks Smashrx person.
I've been experiencing a tight QL for the last four years and the pain would radiate towards my right thigh. I went to a neuro for this and they prescribed physical therapy (electric stim, heat, and core/glute/ham exercises) and meds. It eventually became too expensive and I felt it wasn't addressing the root of the issue, so I dropped the treatment and instead focused on improving my biomechanics and tried yoga and strength training. My x-ray showed a raised right hip, lower right shoulder, and bent spine. I believe you just explained the root cause of my condition, which is what I have been looking for. You are a lifesaver.
good point. the ql is a muscle that is often overlooked. been there and solved that by stretching mainly. good variety of stretching exercises. hanging from both arms on a bar will also help.
This stuff is generational. I've got the same problems as my dad. Knee blown out, lower back pain. Watching this I'm watching my old man and how he sits. He has one leg crossed over the other, always the same. I don it too. I'm gonna try these stretches. Thanks for the instruction. You are really good at explaining and figuring out these things.
Lifesaver!!!! Took 1 minute of just practicing all the stretches and I felt relief. Every bad example you gave was me. Finally google was able to break into my mind and figure out what video I really needed to randomly pop up. I swear I thought it was a weak core problem. Just bad non-working out habits.
Rock on brother! Many thanks for all the great fixes. I am a pharmacist in his late 50's who's been in the gym his whole life. I thought some exercises were over for me until I found your site. Much appreciated are all the Fantastic information and hacks that you provide!!
Thanks. Great timing and kudos to the UA-cam algorithm .... the last couple of weeks for my lower back have been pretty horrifying.....and the extremities have decided to periodically numb up. Gonna give this stretch routine (which makes a world of sense to me) a go.
Your delivery impeccable. Your clarity and understanding unparalleled. Thank you kind sir. It seems this will actually work. If it works, my biggest thank you I can think of is buying ALL OF YOUR PRODUCTS!!
This Guy is no joke ALL his techniques REALLY works ...... I could not innerstand what ppl was saying that you have to have muscle connection. You cannot have it if you are not doing the exercises correctly to be able to feel the muscles working. I Hate doing anything that’s does not work. With his techniques you will feel it that day and feel the difference the next day and even the rest of the week. My Hero for LIFE !!!!!! P.S. Also now I see why I was not very successful in body building I’m a hardgainer but the techniques and workouts was allllllll wrong. SMH
Everyone sleeps like a savage lol. All the sleep studies show we change position dozens of times throughout the night. So even if you’re a “stomach sleeper” (for example) you’ll still spend time on your side and back.
I appreciate your enthusiasm and tendency to just get right in there and work things, damn the torpedoes. The human body is a genius design and meant to be worked. No pain no gain. Many of your techniques helped me big time, and many I have not seen anywhere else.
Dude your posts are absolute golden threads of training lore. Most of the fluffy trainers should be forced to learn your info before continuing their regiment. People wouldn't have any excuses if they followed your protocol of self care. Have a very blessed holidays!
I love you sir thanks 🙏 you don’t know how much this information is useful for me . No doctor was able to fix this for last three months 🙏 Love from India 🇮🇳
Comments??? Well that’s new to me. Anyway, all your vids have helped me. Went to the doc for my elbow. Nothing helped, shots, PT, etc. They suggested surgery. No I didn’t. Watched your video about how to fix my “tennis elbow” and used the techniques and boom!! No more elbow problems. And best part it was so simple to do. However I wish I could do the low back exercises to fix mine but I don’t have any disk left :/. But yes, your videos have changed my life honestly.
I had low back pain for years. Sometimes it was excruciating shooting pain through my hips and legs. I got the hiphook from Athena and stretched my psoas and iliacus with it and it changed my life. No longer a life of chronic low back pain. These stretches look great too. My psoas and illacus were tight and pulling my hips out of alignment. Similar concept of the pso-rite.
I had chronic low back/butt pain for 10 years including butt spasms after ART that I tried everything to resolve IMS, physio, ART, Chiro, nerve root block, traction, Botox in piriformis, except for therapeutic massage, then in addition to QL massage I had gluteus minimus and medius massaged. I think lying on a saggy couch as well bends the whole QL so I try to rotate from side to side. Also my therapist said sleeping with one leg out like a frog is problematic.
Hey man, when you described everything that would be negatively affected by a tight QL, you hit on each one of my major complaints. Then one side pulling more because it's been shortened, my right side locks up so bad during KB swings, squatcleans, deadlifts,etc. I hate it because I cant grow with my barbell technique with these limitations. I'll begin incorporating your program. Thank you very much bro
Man.. I gotta start these exercises stat! (Easiest Trainier to listen to on UA-cam. Keeps it real. Ha! and who else wears designer dress socks and sweats while delivering THE BEST content!) Go Scorpion Man!
Thanks bro. Great mobility and stretch exercise is needed to strengthen the body and flexibility . I always sleep flat on my back to avoid any impingements. I use a pillow with a hole in. It keep my spine straight and back flat for all my pressure point . Thanks again and keep teaching and inspiring people.
100% my problem damn. I had back pain before from doing deadlifts 4 times a week when i started training first and also my job was in a furnitre storage so alot of lifting, but 2 years ago I stareted delivering and assembling furnitre and there is so much sitting in a van driving all the time and like 1y ago i noticed a big fcking assymetry, like my left oblique/ab had contraction all the time when i did anything and barely felt it on the other side. Definitely gonna try this thanks man.
Merry Christmas & Happy Hanukkah to You & Yours , Smashwe! Your Vidz are Very Helpful & Encouraging! Keep the Wisdom Flowing; & may 2021 be your best Year Yet! Happy New Year
I had right labral tear and FAI pain for 2 yrs which caused iliopsoas spasm and weak glutes, this caused my right ql muscle to overwork and shorten, this pulled my hip up and shoulder down and lengthern the opposite ql causing pain on the left in the lower back sij area. Everything is connected.
FYI: FROM 20 Years back and hip pain experience: Sudden low back/sciatic pain at a young age which is not treated correctly for whatever reason - [I was 16 year old doing two apprenticeships] - leads to uncertainty, confusion, loss of routine, loss of inspiration, exhaustion, improper diet, opiate addictions, abuse of alcohol and so on... A secondary condition to it is Arthritis in the pelvis/hip because of leaning to the "good side" to avoid the painful one. All of which becomes sub conscious then waking depression via passive laziness, which is well founded at the time: Over enough time, because of a lack of resources or professional help to fix the problem [mental and physical] it leads to acceptance or believing the problem cannot be fixed: Coupled with an unhealthy lifestyle, but not by conscious choosing, these situations manifest in being slightly over weight, which becomes morbidly overweight and completely out of touch with reality, yourself and your own capabilities: The weight is not even an issue to you as it creepss up so slow, you dont think its connected to the pain. Alas, you begin to feel strange or disconnected in a world where everyone "seems normal" but you: To finalize, from 1993 when I first hurt my back Bricklaying and site Labourer, I am now almost free of Osteoarthritis and chronic back pain due to losing a lot of weight from Feb 2020 [94 lbs thus far from FASTING and Exercise] All my long term back and hip pain through my experience will be gone soon: My BMI is now 23.5 and when my BMI is at 22 or thereabouts, this "curse" will no longer have a hold on any part of my body or psyche. From observation of myself and others who still have it, the pain has been down to not dealing with the initial cause of the pain because of a lack of knowledge resulting in being overweight not in shape, thus creating an circle of suffering in your own life via short term pleasures to escape it: IF YOU HAVE PAIN AND YOUR BMI IS NOT GOOD; YOU NEED TO ADDRESS THIS RIGHT AWAY AND WORK WITH THE PAIN TO GET RID OF IT: PUT THE RIGHT INGREDIENTS INTO YOUR BLOOD AND YOU GET GOOD RESULTS - OVER TIME: Might take 24 months but those 24 months are coming to pass whether you like it or not: EXTREME FASTING, DRIVEN BY PAIN REDUCTION HAS BEEN THE BEST MEDICINE EVER FOR ARTHRITIC PAIN AND SCIATIC PAIN: Good Luck...
Yeah it happens!! I feel like my left leg is bigger, bigger calve and i get sore more on my left side, the problem with me is that i have scaitic nerve on the right lower back and so i tend to lean more on my left
I love how u explain so well every single detail and them show each move you do and explain so it makes so much sense! I'm definitely gonna do this everyday infact I'm gonna get back to exercising everyday Like I was before I got pregnant
I was paralyzed for 10 days in 1984. I recovered to a large degree. I have more nerve damage on the left side than the right and more specificity on the left side than the right. I can confirm that this imbalance has caused me to live with almost constant low back pain.
I have had this imbalance for 4-5 years and I thought I massaged and stretched myself in everyway until I watched this video. This is great!!!! Thank you

Works so fast it's unbelievable! I've had this problem for over 15 years, and this helped on the first try.
How does the pain feel? I'm here to believe I have the same problem.
There could be intense pain when moving into anterior pelvic tilt. That's how I feel it
This finally allowed me to do squats and deadlifts. I went through 3 years in the army infantry with tight power back and was miserable because I didn't understand how to stretch. Thankyou for unlocking fitness for me.

Trevor, you sent this vid just in time! God bless you brotha
You're a legend mate. People pay good money to never receive the information that you provide for free. Thank you!!
Usually commercials are bad, but this time I'm glad the videos are monetized. Good work Trevor!
I second that 👍🏻
Agree 💯% TY, sr!
Ya and doctors won't tell you this stuff they will just say exercise and stretch

Great no bs videos that are science based and logical. Love it!
Im a pt of 30 years and whenever i find a painful QL I always check the contralateral glute medius for weakness. They co-contract during gait and when 1 is weak , the other usually compensates and becomes overworked / strained. Just a tidbit
Thanks for ur enthusiastic and informative vids👍
You are so right...
Wth.... Where was this info for all these years of misery... Thank u so much man been doin these exercises and tbh... I've felt major relief
How long did it take to get relief
You are genius genius genius!!!! please don't disappear and just keep on bringing this amazing gift that you given us! Thank you!!!!!💟

I've had LBP before and it sucks. This will come in handy
good point. the ql is a muscle that is often overlooked. been there and solved that by stretching mainly. good variety of stretching exercises. hanging from both arms on a bar will also help.
Amazing info!!! I think that just changed my life! Thanks Trevor! 💪🏻
This stuff is generational. I've got the same problems as my dad. Knee blown out, lower back pain. Watching this I'm watching my old man and how he sits. He has one leg crossed over the other, always the same. I don it too. I'm gonna try these stretches. Thanks for the instruction. You are really good at explaining and figuring out these things.
Thankyou. This helped stop pain I have had for years.
Great timing for me. Very helpful after a week of post-deadlift pain. Thank you!
Lifesaver!!!! Took 1 minute of just practicing all the stretches and I felt relief. Every bad example you gave was me. Finally google was able to break into my mind and figure out what video I really needed to randomly pop up.
I swear I thought it was a weak core problem. Just bad non-working out habits.
I sat in chairs with so much discomfort, dancing from side to side. Even lazy boys felt terrible to sit in.
Rock on brother! Many thanks for all the great fixes. I am a pharmacist in his late 50's who's been in the gym his whole life. I thought some exercises were over for me until I found your site. Much appreciated are all the Fantastic information and hacks that you provide!!
Thanks. Great timing and kudos to the UA-cam algorithm .... the last couple of weeks for my lower back have been pretty horrifying.....and the extremities have decided to periodically numb up. Gonna give this stretch routine (which makes a world of sense to me) a go.
Your delivery impeccable. Your clarity and understanding unparalleled. Thank you kind sir. It seems this will actually work. If it works, my biggest thank you I can think of is buying ALL OF YOUR PRODUCTS!!
I remember on many previous videos comment were disabled. Now i can say thank you for many useful tips!
This Guy is no joke ALL his techniques REALLY works ...... I could not innerstand what ppl was saying that you have to have muscle connection. You cannot have it if you are not doing the exercises correctly to be able to feel the muscles working. I Hate doing anything that’s does not work.

Also now I see why I was not very successful in body building I’m a hardgainer but the techniques and workouts was allllllll wrong. SMH
Did the stretches and released the muscle with a lacrosse ball. My back already feels better. Thanks!
The sleeping positions made me feel attacked. I sleep like a savage, apparently.....
Everyone sleeps like a savage lol.
All the sleep studies show we change position dozens of times throughout the night. So even if you’re a “stomach sleeper” (for example) you’ll still spend time on your side and back.
I appreciate your enthusiasm and tendency to just get right in there and work things, damn the torpedoes. The human body is a genius design and meant to be worked. No pain no gain. Many of your techniques helped me big time, and many I have not seen anywhere else.
Definitely earned a subscriber after this video
Dude your posts are absolute golden threads of training lore. Most of the fluffy trainers should be forced to learn your info before continuing their regiment. People wouldn't have any excuses if they followed your protocol of self care. Have a very blessed holidays!
All of your stuff works for me, Brother. Keep em coming!
Absolutely brilliant! Can learn a lot from this man. Start training smart while your young and avoid a lot of pain.
Thank you! It is so encouraging to know what the problem is, finally. And after doing some of this stuff I feel better already.
Nice demo, thank you
Came in looking for information on quadratus lumborum. Left wanting to fight scorpions.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom of your passion to feel great as well as helping others!
God bless
Keep it up. Iv been watching for awhile now. Your one of my fav’s
Thanks bro. Great mobility and stretch exercise is needed to strengthen the body and flexibility . I always sleep flat on my back to avoid any impingements. I use a pillow with a hole in. It keep my spine straight and back flat for all my pressure point . Thanks again and keep teaching and inspiring people.
I've been waiting for this video 👏. Thanks so much Trevor, this muscle needs some TLC
Wow amazing content! Direct and easy to follow and addresses the problem accurately. 👍
Te 99 dislikes are from the scorpion killer company
Well, I'm curious, who's the scorpion killers company?
Keep up the good work Trev! Much appreciated!
100% my problem damn. I had back pain before from doing deadlifts 4 times a week when i started training first and also my job was in a furnitre storage so alot of lifting, but 2 years ago I stareted delivering and assembling furnitre and there is so much sitting in a van driving all the time and like 1y ago i noticed a big fcking assymetry, like my left oblique/ab had contraction all the time when i did anything and barely felt it on the other side. Definitely gonna try this thanks man.
Thank you Trevor!
Thanks
For the work you are doing. You’re helping me greatly. I’m a fan for life 😊
Followed along and I feel so much better. I noticed it first during squats I would inadvertently hitch slightly left. Been working on it.
I've been thinking my glute minor was a wuss but it's my QL?!!! so many moving parts. Couldn't have fixed this w/o you brother! THX!
Your videos definitely help big homie love the thoroughness of your information

I had right labral tear and FAI pain for 2 yrs which caused iliopsoas spasm and weak glutes, this caused my right ql muscle to overwork and shorten, this pulled my hip up and shoulder down and lengthern the opposite ql causing pain on the left in the lower back sij area. Everything is connected.
You're full of knowledge and hyped up awesome!!!!!
Thank you, boss!
Great video. I’m going to give it a try.
FYI: FROM 20 Years back and hip pain experience: Sudden low back/sciatic pain at a young age which is not treated correctly for whatever reason - [I was 16 year old doing two apprenticeships] - leads to uncertainty, confusion, loss of routine, loss of inspiration, exhaustion, improper diet, opiate addictions, abuse of alcohol and so on... A secondary condition to it is Arthritis in the pelvis/hip because of leaning to the "good side" to avoid the painful one.
All of which becomes sub conscious then waking depression via passive laziness, which is well founded at the time: Over enough time, because of a lack of resources or professional help to fix the problem [mental and physical] it leads to acceptance or believing the problem cannot be fixed:
Coupled with an unhealthy lifestyle, but not by conscious choosing, these situations manifest in being slightly over weight, which becomes morbidly overweight and completely out of touch with reality, yourself and your own capabilities: The weight is not even an issue to you as it creepss up so slow, you dont think its connected to the pain. Alas, you begin to feel strange or disconnected in a world where everyone "seems normal" but you:
To finalize, from 1993 when I first hurt my back Bricklaying and site Labourer, I am now almost free of Osteoarthritis and chronic back pain due to losing a lot of weight from Feb 2020 [94 lbs thus far from FASTING and Exercise] All my long term back and hip pain through my experience will be gone soon: My BMI is now 23.5 and when my BMI is at 22 or thereabouts, this "curse" will no longer have a hold on any part of my body or psyche.
From observation of myself and others who still have it, the pain has been down to not dealing with the initial cause of the pain because of a lack of knowledge resulting in being overweight not in shape, thus creating an circle of suffering in your own life via short term pleasures to escape it:
IF YOU HAVE PAIN AND YOUR BMI IS NOT GOOD; YOU NEED TO ADDRESS THIS RIGHT AWAY AND WORK WITH THE PAIN TO GET RID OF IT: PUT THE RIGHT INGREDIENTS INTO YOUR BLOOD AND YOU GET GOOD RESULTS - OVER TIME:
Might take 24 months but those 24 months are coming to pass whether you like it or not: EXTREME FASTING, DRIVEN BY PAIN REDUCTION HAS BEEN THE BEST MEDICINE EVER FOR ARTHRITIC PAIN AND SCIATIC PAIN: Good Luck...
Congratulations 👏 respect. Keep up the great work/efforts.
Lmao 👎
This is exactly what’s happening to me. My left QL is always sore, and I always lean to one side.
Yeah it happens!! I feel like my left leg is bigger, bigger calve and i get sore more on my left side, the problem with me is that i have scaitic nerve on the right lower back and so i tend to lean more on my left
This is free gold. TY

Great info. Thanks man. Already sent to people!!!!
I was paralyzed for 10 days in 1984. I recovered to a large degree. I have more nerve damage on the left side than the right and more specificity on the left side than the right. I can confirm that this imbalance has caused me to live with almost constant low back pain.
Wow, very helpful. Thanks for your content.
Omg, thank you so much,, and have a Very Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ❤you Rock
Awesome information brother, thank you 🙏🏼
LOL, I seriously do all those things that contribute to this issue. I feel more informed now, thank you! 👍
I have had this imbalance for 4-5 years and I thought I massaged and stretched myself in everyway until I watched this video. This is great!!!! Thank you
You have sorted out my problem. Thanks
This video gave me quality of life back again.
In 3 days?...hmmm...
