If you feel like your hips are locking up or can’t get loose for you to squat — whether you’re a CrossFitter, weightlifter, or just training for general fitness — this blog is for you.
Tight hips are one of the most common barriers to deep, pain-free squats. They not only limit your range of motion but also place stress on your knees and lower back. At Lewis Physical Therapy & Sports Rehabilitation in Point Pleasant, NJ, we help injure CrossFitters over 30 restore mobility and strength so that they can move well, lift heavy, and stay pain-free.
In today’s post, I’m sharing 3 go-to hip mobility drills I use with CrossFit athletes to improve squat depth and open up tight hips fast.
This is the perfect drill to target the front of your hips — especially important if you sit a lot during the day.
Place your back foot on a bench or chair. Your front leg is bent in a lunge position.
Squeeze your back glute to feel a stretch in the front of your thigh and hip.
Slowly lean your upper body back to intensify the stretch — but don’t arch your low back.
I noticed my resting heart rate was a bit high after taking this. Anyone else?
Solid info. I find that caffeine pills are way more cost-effective than pre-workout.
I noticed my strength stayed up during my cut while using this. Worth the price.
