Bioneer, This video is a prime example of why I subscribed a while back. You challenge complacency by thinking outside of the box so many of us find ourselves in. Your lifestyle philosophies are all presented well and explained thoroughly. Thank you!
There was a guy in the gym who was covered in muscles but couldn’t rotate his neck to look at something. I’d rather be weaker and have more mobility than ever get like him (no judgment)
As a physical therapist I remember being in school and our pediatrics professor said "don't skip the hip" all the time. I didn't think too much of it in school until I was working and saw how generally weak/restricted a lot of hips were in the general population. I appreciate this video and the work you do.
I started hip training about 4 weeks ago coming to the conclusion it was the cause of back pain. I was correct and now that pain has gone and I realised how ridiculously useless my hips were so this training is now a permanent routine. Working on getting rid of my on and off hip impingement.
@@moritzhoffmeister4824 ua-cam.com/video/VTFPrn4sFHQ/v-deo.html the stretches on here were a big help opening upy hips. Then all the glute and hip strengthening exercises in bioneer video as well are really helpful.
@@Caleb_Manganalso your muscles stretch and contract using your body’s mobility will increase the amount of damage one can do as well as the amount of pain damage injury you obtain plus your nerves signal the body to do things and if the nerves or bundled up not long and stretched in it’s normal position don’t expect to recover or react fast
I understand this will be seen as pedantic. Strength is impossible without mobility in the first place as mobility is strength. And since muscles operate through ranges of motion(ranges of mobility) muscles cannot even be used.
Flexibility is the range of motion of a muscle and/or joint. Mobility is the strength within that range. If you're really flexible but weak in those extreme positions, you can't really claim to be mobile, and you can be prone to injury if you fall into an extreme range, for example. Similarly if you're really strong but only within a small range, you can't claim to be mobile either, but you're maybe less likely to get an extreme range injury, just an injury from restricted range, if that makes sense. That's what OP is saying here, I believe.
At the age of 50, I could 5 of the 6 exercises/challenges at the end. Doing yoga every morning since the first lockdown has allowed me to move in a way in my 50s I could not do in my 20s.
This is a paradigm shift, how you emphasize reframing "don't skip leg day!" from the common heavy squats and deadlifts to include the exercises you've listed here. Thanks man, that's real wise. I am inspired to rewrite my leg day training! :D I also have worn Vevos for 7 years now and almost everyone comments on how cool they look, I have an orange-brown pair
I love how much you give credit to other UA-camrs and trainers. That's integrity. Plus I love the info you give and how you present it! Thank you so much!
I work in the health care field with old people. Every thing that this guy says is spot on!!! Some of the healthiest old people out there are ones who simply just moved their body's in all kinds of ways through out thier lives. Those one's have outlasted even some of the ones that were gym fanatics.
For all those who are training for an event, ie.. weightlifting, tri’s, etc, I recommend that one a month you set aside your progressive endurance and strengthening routine to go back and take one or two days to assess your performance range of motion. Also include a weekly day of for performance rom check. Most people once they’ve lost their optimal performance ROM will not be able to recover it going into the event, reducing their performance at the event. So by taking these “ROM breaks “ you can assess your ROM, then add to your routine those strength and mobility exercises that will bring your performance rom back into balance and be able to progress your plan with more confidence. You can always add this approach but it’s best if you incorporate it right at the beginning. My 2¢
You've delivered again, mate. Hip mobility and strength are perhaps underrated? I sit down for twelve hour shifts in a control room so I do a lot of stuff to counter that: walks, lunges, glute bridges, hip flexor work etc. If I didn't my spine would probably be like Mr Burns by now.
You hit the bullseye yet again! My hips are sooooo glued up but they're getting better. I don't sit all day, i do manual labor jobs almost every day but mowing lawns and going up and down ladders is still mostly sagittal plane movements. add in years of the usual bodybuilding and strength routines and yeah here were are at 56 with majorly tight hips and tight hamstrings. Since discovering your channel a few months ago (and buying and reading your print book) I've added single leg RDL's, Bulgarian split squats, and glute bridges to my routines. I am also in the process of learning to do a Cossack squat (I can SORT of do one haha) and i started skipping just this week as well. this is in addition to the usual barbell squats, DLs, Bench press etc etc. I have some major imbalance issues between my left (dominant) side and right side and i am hoping addressing one limb at a time will help even things out. my next step is getting minimal shoes. when i train in my home gym I almost always take my shoes off but when i train outside i wear Nike air shoes. I firmly believe now that they have to go! Time to add in some of those great stretches you showed in this video on my off days! thank you so much for all you do here!
Kettlebell Turkish Get Ups are a great way to strengthen both sides of the body, especially where your imbalances are, all while improving strength and mobility because the exercise puts you through multiple planes of motion.
I've been using your Superfunctional Training 2.0 routine to guide my workouts for the past few months, and I'm happy to say I was able to do all the things at the beginning of the video! Thanks, Bioneer!
I always thought it was stupid that people didnt go all the way down on squats. What other lift would you just not fo full ROM on? Would you just stop halfway down during a bench press? Only do the top half of a bicep curl?
14:05 for mobility in the abductors I also do sets of prasarita padottanasana (yoga pose) but as a calisthenics exercise. Meaning, I keep my hands behind my back and do reps as a bodyweight strength exercise (bend down and rise up as 1 rep), keeping my back straight of course. It's also great for hamstrings mobility.
Your My favorite online coach, been following him for years... The best advice, the best exercises, easy to follow, really good execution of information & I to workout at home barefoot & make my own equipment... Big fan from South Africa...
It took me a few months to rehab my deep squat, which has done wonders for my mobility. Before I couldn't squat all the way down without lifting my heels. Now I can do pistol squats.
very well put together video again with very nice editing and some funny clips. Is there a reason you put sponsors so late into your videos? It seems like less people would now see it, I guess the people that do see it would be more likely to be interested.
Bingo! That and if I include it naturally at a point where I’m speaking about something relevant, I feel that helps engagement and conversion too. Vivobarefoot are great as they don’t arbitrarily force me to put their promotion in the first two minutes or something :-)
The Bioneer always presents fun ways to challenge oneself while doing what is necessary to prolong one's own fitness and general health. This guy is amazing! This is why I followed him for years now and have seen and felt my improvement!
Knees over toes guy has the absolute best stretches for hips. Ever since I started doing his 45 degree wedge stretch my lower back rarely ever hurts anymore
I have been on the journey of restoring my hip mobility. I have poor ankle and internal rotation. Also have been struggling with anterior pelvic tilt, FOR YEARS. Thanks for this video
Just got the news that I'll need surgery to remove some bone and repair a torn labrum in my hip. The wait is a year 😢 but that gives me a year to condition my lower body to maximize chances of recovery. Appreciate this video Adam. People really do take their hips for granted!
@@Invictus13666 The issue has actually been ongoing for about 2 years now. I've found some things that make it better, and some things that make it worse. Unfortunately because of the way my hip is formed, every time I perform certain movements I "pinch" the labrum and other soft tissue, because my hip socket doesn't allow my hip bone to sit nicely in it. It's called pincer impingement. The only way to fix that looking at my X-Ray is to remove the extra bit of bone on my pelvis that's causing the impingement. But like I've said, I've got a year, I'm going to just keep at it as best I can, get myself as fit as possible, strengthen and mobilize my hips, to give them the best possible chance of recovery when the surgery comes along
I'm a student. And I haven't been able to exercise like any this semester, and I've lost my a$$. Literally lol. Gonna hit the gym hard this semester since I will have time for it. Gonna set aside a study day, exercise before I go to the library, study, halfway through go exercise again, study, and exercise before I leave. Good sleep and food will be key lol
This couldn't come up at a better time, been training recently and noticed whenever I raise my hips and knees, my left leg makes a clicking sound, only one leg, whenever I train that leg, same, my hip or bowl area or whatever makes a sound, it doesn't hurt, neither Google or ChatGPT gave satisfying answers, and I'm broke now for a professional care.
I recently found your channel and am highly grateful! I enjoy the simplicity in your explanations and the exercises to begin now at home. I’ve been implementing different things you’ve shared already from different videos. And this one is a big hitter for me. I’m getting into running and have either a tight or weak or both left hip. Which in turn creates knee pain for me while running. Thank you so much!
5:50 marker . There is whole 'correct' way shown by Wildman Athletica around picking up and then down the KBs ; for the longest time I had so much disconnect on starting the movement !! I high recommend to any/all to check out his channel. Like Adam, a lot of recording is done out in nature x training pit. Thanks for sharing this. My saying ; more of an application of Top Gun 1 intro class "morning warmup routine. Ignition set of key lift for the day. Followed by post-training foam roll out." That is min for risk free lifts. If your tightness is more ofcouse more "movement" sessions through out the day should be applied. Depending on how much time one has (a given).
Great video as always, woke up with shooting pains running up my back. Lower back has been a problem for the last few years, off to the gym now to give some of these exercises a try.
Something i found out by myself is leg extension in a shortened hip flexor position, its basically lifting up your knee and pushing your leg out out, it really works your quads and i think its the sole reason why my pike and pancake mobility is bad since in that position if you're quads are week they can't pull you further into deeper hip flexion and instead your hamstrings are pulling on the glutes since they're stronger causing lower back rounding, hamstring flexibility is not the problem!!! Its actually the opposide, you're making matters worse by leghntening and streghtening the hamstrings without training your quads in the hip shortnened position position
I'd like to share what has helped with my hip issues. The first is a strong core, for example if your obliques and QL aren't strong then the hip bone won't be stable enough for the glute med to do its job. The second thing is a good foot arch, it's hard to train but I can always tell a difference in glue activation.
you can easily train your foot arch by standing on the edge of a stair orna raised platform only on your forefoot and toes, and keep the heel strong and parallel to the the toes maintaining foot arch. and then do with only your heels on the raised platform and your toes and forefoot off the platform but held with the foot arch as if you're imagining a floor underneath the unsupported part of your feet to pretend to stand on.
Saw a cool option for the glute bridge from karate nerd Jessie Enkamp where you thrust up on one leg, and then kick the other leg up at the top of the movement. You're training the unilateral glute bridge, with that functional kick at the end.
I totally agree with the introduction. Although I have always trained my legs in the gym. Working from home and sitting has caused a large amount of recent problems. My hips are stiff and I've had pain running down both legs in the past. Coming from a martial arts background and therefore knowing how to stretch safety has certainly helped me recover a lot of my flexibility and most of the pain is now gone. But obviously these stretches and exercises need to continue for as long as I'm capable.
I really like your content! This is a helpful explanation for me. In the future, would you please show what you're talking about? ie. At 3:49 when you start saying "the hip is a complex joint," please show us what you mean. Also, when you mention "buttwink," it would be nice to display an image of what that is. Just a suggestion. Keep up the good work.
I can do about 40%. At work I wear leather cowboy boots for the support and not having the compression of synthetics, I don’t run on my heels anymore because I had to relearn how to stand and walk in the boots because of how firm they are.
I'm not built for Squatting so i made some changes years ago (they were covered in this video) etc zero drop wide toe box shoes, wide stance squats opening up my hips at the start of the squat and I've built up to a 2.5 x body weight squat ... Train your weaknesses and it will make you stronger over all...
I've never tried that opening movement with the twist, until now and I did have to do it a little slowly haha but when it comes to the deep squat, I have this daily mobility drill that I do with a band to warm up my shoulder girdle, my thoracic spine, and my hips, which includes holding a deep squat for 5-9 minutes. I'm still working on time-lengthened horse stancing 😉
Please provide step by step instruction for developing strength in and going from the 90/90 with butt touching the floor to standing up with no hands. This stretch has totally unlocked my hips, but I’d like to work on strengthening it for longevity. It’s the perfect balance of internal and external rotation of the joint
Deep wisdom. As I grow in my physical development journey, I've come to realise mobility MUST come first. You have to be able to hit good positions to load muscles the right way before you start loading them. Otherwise you learn bad motor patterns, and worse injure yourself. Best part is the well balanced posture, smooth movements and physique of someone who has mastered these things is "the look" and attractive quality (your brain notices people's movement more than you realise) that most average gym goers are actually looking for. They just think it's biceps or glutes they're after because that's what the zeitgeist told them is attractive.
Excellent and important video. People with hip retro version or ante version may need special precautions with some exercises Agree on value of minimalist shoes and trail running! I prefer to avoid lumbar extension at the top of the KB swings.
Ever look into some of the other martial arts stances beyond the Horse Stance? I've been playing around with the big 5 wushu stances and having a good time with it
Idk portal has some great hip opening routines. I love the deep squat with the rust and reach up. Not sure what that movement is called but I like it. Then from deep squat touch one knee to the ground at a time, choosing different locations and angles to place your knees. Hip strength and mobility has been a pivotal part of my fitness journey

Great video! Been trying to reopen my hips for about 10 years now. Its a struggle with conflicting information. Your videos are great!
Realise i said great twice 🤣
I can do everything you listed. Nice.
I'm not built for Squatting so i made some changes years ago (they were covered in this video) etc zero drop wide toe box shoes, wide stance squats opening up my hips at the start of the squat and I've built up to a 2.5 x body weight squat ... Train your weaknesses and it will make you stronger over all...
Perfect timing man!! Im actually barely beginning to help someone with there hip mobility issues.
I've never tried that opening movement with the twist, until now and I did have to do it a little slowly haha but when it comes to the deep squat, I have this daily mobility drill that I do with a band to warm up my shoulder girdle, my thoracic spine, and my hips, which includes holding a deep squat for 5-9 minutes. I'm still working on time-lengthened horse stancing 😉
Would love if you did up to a 30min mobility follow along session we could go to whenever
Working on this stuff at the moment after a lot of back pain, never going back to that again.
Wow the beginning made me feel valid
Ooooh,I need this right now.
Please provide step by step instruction for developing strength in and going from the 90/90 with butt touching the floor to standing up with no hands. This stretch has totally unlocked my hips, but I’d like to work on strengthening it for longevity. It’s the perfect balance of internal and external rotation of the joint
Great video Adam! I am your Dad's age so I go real slow. I do slow squats with holds then next set is normal and last set is explosive.
Man, you'd be a killer Jiu Jitsu player with your level of flexibility, athleticism, and strength
And cerebral geekiness!
Excellent review sir, i was on the ropes about this but ill get it!
Belly dancing king at activating ur core also good for digestion and can be mads to look many for the guys
I was just complaining about my tight hips. Thanks!
Deep wisdom. As I grow in my physical development journey, I've come to realise mobility MUST come first. You have to be able to hit good positions to load muscles the right way before you start loading them. Otherwise you learn bad motor patterns, and worse injure yourself. Best part is the well balanced posture, smooth movements and physique of someone who has mastered these things is "the look" and attractive quality (your brain notices people's movement more than you realise) that most average gym goers are actually looking for. They just think it's biceps or glutes they're after because that's what the zeitgeist told them is attractive.
Mark Wildman on UA-cam is a great source
@@domzbu he is, though he's basically just repackaged Scott Sonnon without all the gimmicky marketing.
@@starkraft2506 true, though necessary as Sonnen’s videos are in like 360p!
07:15 "hip hairy-a"? 😂 😉 Seriously, though, thanks for the video and the reminder that hip mobility is so important!
Excellent and important video.
People with hip retro version or ante version may need special precautions with some exercises
Agree on value of minimalist shoes and trail running!
I prefer to avoid lumbar extension at the top of the KB swings.
Ever look into some of the other martial arts stances beyond the Horse Stance? I've been playing around with the big 5 wushu stances and having a good time with it
I’ve been planning to do this, actually!
Performing the form of stances besides the horse stance is unnecessary unless your Shaolin or a performer.
I am going to try this out, I'm so tired of lower back pain.
Hey man! Thanks alot for the info, the squat is my weakest lift because of hip mobility. I will most Def do some of these exercises tommorrow!!!
Yes, yes, not quite, yes, yes... Been trying to get past that "not quite" for a while now...
Damn, i remember when I subscribed you had like 1,000 subs. TBH, you content was always good
Another outstanding video that I will be sharing with the brain tumor groups, I am a member of on Facebook.
Heck yeah man. Hips don't lie if they are a weak point.
Idk portal has some great hip opening routines. I love the deep squat with the rust and reach up. Not sure what that movement is called but I like it.
Then from deep squat touch one knee to the ground at a time, choosing different locations and angles to place your knees.
Hip strength and mobility has been a pivotal part of my fitness journey
*ido portal in case someone is like what is idk portal
You are one of the BEST. (Shout out to Ben Patrick.)
