@elastaboy: Pt 5 - STUCK HIPS: That hip tightness you keep stretching? 🚨 It will always come back if you don’t strengthen it at your end range. 👉 Here are 3 drills to build external rotation strength so your hips stay unlocked: 1. Side-Lying Clamshells ✅ Trains glute med + deep rotators to pull the thigh outward ❌ Common fail: rolling your pelvis back for momentum 2. 90/90 Lift-Off Holds ✅ Builds strength at your weakest point — end range ER ❌ Fail: foot won’t lift or instant cramp = weak ERs or tight adductors 💡 Easier: lean slightly to the side for support 3. Banded Squats ✅ Teaches hips to hold alignment under load — knees over toes, arches tall ❌ Fail: forcing knees too far out or letting arches collapse ⚡ These strengthen the muscles that rotate your hips outward and keep knees from caving. Stay tuned, in part 6 of STUCK HIPS, we’ll fix hips stuck in internal rotation.
