  • Learn how to squat deeper. Trying to improve your squat hip mobility and you're wondering how to increase hip mobility? Should your knees go out when you squat? What are the long term consequences of the knees out cue when trying to squat deep? Learn how to correct hip muscle imbalances that come from going knees out and get a deeper squat with this video.
    This video shows you an adductor exercise that gets you deeper in the squat. It strengthens your adductors which improves your hip mobility for the squat.
    The most trendy squat cue on the internet for the last decade has been knees out. But if you follow this squat cue, you may end up with a shallow squat and limited hip mobility. The knees out cue neglects your adductor and creates a muscle imbalance that will cause hip issues.
    By activating the adductors in your squat, you can improve your stability and mobility. You will balance your hip muscles for a deeper, smoother, and stronger squat.

    This is amazing! I’m older and trying to get back to “sit to stand” without pushing off chair arms. My ability to squat is horrible. I think I’ll try my “mini-squats” with the yoga block and balance pad! Thanks.

    I agree 100%, I’ve had groin hip pain for two years and a powerlifter who was told knees out and coming out of the hole more knees out, which then just happened to give me groin strain, fast forward and I’ve started squatting again and like the Chinese team out of the hole up I bring my knees in a little and pop straight up, adductor Mag is a massive muscle when going from flexed to extended hips.... and nobody trains them!!! Great tip thanks for a prehab and rehab exercise.

    At 65 I've found a lengthy warm-up before squats is essential. I use a couple captain chairs and lower myself repeatedly with arms and legs. After some hiking my it bands were super tight and they got stressed when squatting so I had to cease doing it for a while. Also quad stretches.

    i appreciate your commitment to hip health. i've watched your videos going back to 2014.
    i've recently been trying to address anterior hip rotation (not anterior tilt). it seems this would be relevant to helping that imbalance? (i understand this is not meant to be a means of obtaining formal medical advice)

  • @Warsheeper
    @Warsheeper 2 роки тому

    lifting weights and squatting for almost 15 years now, never like the kees out cue, always felt wrong, but everyone said it's the right way, developed knee pain, hip pain(functional impingement) and other problems from it, it's so hard to unlearn that stuff, my hip internal rotation is pretty much non existant but the daily pain is getting better since i've startet to implement your hip internal rotation exercises in my warmup

    I have a video idea for you. A stretching routine to help gamers. Like a full routine to reverse forward shoulders, forward neck and lumbar lordosis. Tight hamstrings, glutes, tight hips. I have issues with all these and a put together guide that is not that long and a pdf with all exercises would be amazing.

    Hey Matt, adduction strength, some good contractions but not extreme, has been massively beneficial over the years. I've always been excessively knees out which lead to what you went over in the video. Much appreciated for the validation, so to speak.

  • @crewbar6
    @crewbar6 3 роки тому +1

    I have exactly the opposite issue as my knees tend to curve inwards when squatting. Any suggestions? I believe it has to do with hamstrings and adductors influencing knee pressure, but can’t work out a way to sort this...

    My hips are weak and I'm noticing that if I just squat my hips hurt. Gotta add stiff legged deadlifts and then it's all smooth sailing.. I'm 45 and my family all has hip replacements. I also add certain hips flexor exercises so far so good. Smashwerx has a video called stop stretching your hips.

  • @kumbackquatsta
    @kumbackquatsta 3 роки тому +6

    should knees track over toes in this drill? is knees over toes a universal squatting rule?

    • @Blueskies1180
      @Blueskies1180 2 роки тому

      knees over toes helps if you're doing a million squats in a specific workout routine and also if you're lifting something extremely heavy, but your hips should be able to turn in or out while squatting down, there's less stability when the knees are turned in, so you wouldn't necessarily do that with both knees in your day-to-day life, but getting in and out of positions at times, may require you to do that motion, that's why it's a good idea to practice these motions so that are your anatomy and brain are familiar with it in order to prevent injury (muscle spasms, etc.). When you're doing several reps of squats in a workout routine, personally I do keep everything pretty lined up, but I also add in some squats that are like the ones Matt shows here, at a much slower pace so that I'm training the correct muscles effectively without excess wear and tear. The body is very dynamic, I'm not a huge believer of "hard fast" rules when it comes to the movements of the body, because there are many nuances, you have to work with what you've got going on in your body at the moment and keep doing things to challenge your body within reason and safety. I do keep myself from doing too many repetitions of anything and keep changing things up so I body doesn't get stuck doing the same thing over and over in the same exact way.

    What happened to never letting your knees go past your toes? Is that out the window now too? I live in Thailand now. It amazes me to see Thais flop down in a deep squat so easily and often stay there for quite a while.

      Do what's in the FAI Fix for your limited internal rotation. That said, it's rare to see someone bad at internal rotation being good at adduction.

      The knee is a joint. You don’t “strengthen” the knee. You strengthen the muscles around it. Calves, quads, hams, glutes.

      There is nothing that is FAI unfriendly. The only thing that is "bad" for FAI is continuing the same mindless movement habits that get you in pain in the first place. Everything else comes down to identifying your specific muscular weaknesses and areas needing improvement.
      Always Think Muscles. 👍
