the other one you lie on yoiur back and pull the legs twoards your torso, baidslcy like a fullsquat on your back

actually a fullsquat is a good stretch

swing throughs with heavy dumbells, obviously warm up and work up.....this is the easiest way to improve hip flexability and power, thus the deadlift

spatts has a video if i can find it or she see this and posts it.


the olympic lifts are great but the learning curve and the fact that you would need a coach and some bumpers is kinda limiting.

yeah but I do them differently I basicly hug my bent leg towards my chest. I need all the force I can get

back in hs football, coach used to make us do what he called saigon squats....


basically a very wide stance squat to the middle, and then leaning to each side.....i still do these when my hips are tight, and between sets of squats and after squats....


i also get in a lunge postion and get a good stretch that way as well....


box squats really hit the hips, and lately my hips have been noticably sore and tight.
