 Hey everybody Lance here today. I want to talk about hip flexor tightness Maybe you've you've gone to the physical therapist and they said you have tight quads or a tight So-ass muscle or tight hip flexors just somewhere in this region here How how is this? Manifesting itself in your deadlift Oftentimes if someone has these tight hip flexors when they deadlift they feel a lot of it in their back And you know to me it's not necessarily fair to blame the hip flexors maybe just because I over personify them, but What I'd instead say is instead of trying to say I have crappy hip flexors Let's say I need to find a better position and so I am gonna find that and generally There are two places that you're gonna miss it one You're gonna arch too much at the bottom that Really kicks on so ass and it shortens these hip flexors in the front of your hip Or at the top of the lift I'm leaning back and I'm never really sitting my hips back Rounding my low back and finding my glutes to finish this movement these hip flexors are Strongly intertwined with the low back and the the pelvic complex So we need to consider the positions that you're getting into if you're having these tight hip flexor issues I've had some people, you know tight hip flexors are related a lot to flat necks and You know I had one lady who had a flat neck a tight neck and she just deadlifted really well and said Oh my god, my neck feels great now, right? So all these things can play together But you got to make sure that at the top of that deadlift You're getting a slight round of your low back and you're feeling your glutes finish the movement
