Rise Of The Slaya 2019- Next Strongman Comp prep and fixing my hip

Thanks!

Yeah, my right leg is alot bigger and stronger then my left but do you mean shifting to one side?. ll take some new video angles.

Music is legit.

To add to the knee cave thing you might be somebody more suited to a more narrow stance but poor ankle mobility doesnt allow you to use that stance…or maybe your ankles are fine and you just dont use that stance.

Well yea because you ask us all the tough questions :smiley:

And any coach who knows everything probably knows nothing.

Yess! I try to go when the crossfit classes aren’t on so I can play metal lol

I have never tried a narrower stance, I shall try it

Hehe :wink:

Shit that came across wrong :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Seriously though the reason I hesitate to chime in is because too many cooks ruin the soup (is that a saying in English or am I just translating weird German phrases?).
Focus on 1 or 2 pieces of advice and stick with it. If we all throw stuff at you, you will get more frustrated and overthink even more.

We use broth instead of soup, but yeah it’s the same idiom.

It looks like there might be some shifting to the right and maybe some twisting, but it might just be the camera angle.

Do some unilateral work. Split squats single-leg leg press, lunges. Go with the weak leg first and match reps with the other one. A few sets once or twice a week should help sort that out.

The way I heard it is “too many chefs in the kitchen spoils the pot”. I say that all the time at work, I’m a chef/cook.

That shift is definitely something to look into. Not that I know how to fix it.

Pull aparts have no external rotation component

The squat university dude put it down to either:

  • L/R imbalance in ankle range, or
  • stability imbalance between L/R glute Medius

I’ve had hip shift for ages and working on the latter seems to be helping, but I’m still piss weak so there’s that

Different camera views would be handy too

More and more Practice Duke. Squat IMO requires a lot of practice patterning the movement.
Patience is a goddamn virtue haha

Also not sure if anyone has said, but try squats with a band around your knees. Use it for warm up sets to get used to feeling your glutes help keep the knees out

What have you been doing to help it?

Alright

Yeah! Squats to me seems like the most technical barbell lift. That and Push presses

Thanks il try this. I feel like my right leg does majority of the work in the squat so I need to focus on activating the left leg as well

Thanks for the help guys!

I’ve also been including single-db Bulgarian split squats and single-leg rdls in warm-ups. They’re not trained too intense, just using them to practice foot, ankle and hip stability

Interesting! I watched the video and did the stretch. my left side was alot tighter which I already know but it relieved lots of tension- my left knee/hip area didnt crackle or pop when trying bw squats after. Also I did the ankle test and my left ankle is tight compared to the right
