Anterior Pelvic Tilt Discussion

Hip Mobility, Topic of the Month / By

I get asked a lot of questions around improving Squat depth, Side shifting in a Squat, asymmetries in set up for Squat/Deadlift patterns, improving power output of the glutes and muscles of the hips and Anterior Pelvic Tilt.

All of these questions revolve around the same central structure – the Hips. In this series, I’ll be taking you through some of my framework for understanding the Hips and rethinking what is commonly prescribed by trainers/coaches/practitioners – and my thoughts on what may be a more efficient way to go about understanding and improving Hip Mobility long term.

Questions

Feet, Ankle, calves, Topic of the Month / By

Everything begins from the ground up. If there was one piece of advice I would give to everyone it is to start reconnecting more with your feet. Whether you want more Glute Gains, Squat Strength, Jacked Calves, Mobility or are managing pain around the knee, hip or ankle – look to the Feet. 

The muscles of the lower leg have been completely discarded and forgotten by many – as they simply see them as a lost pursuit for gains – but look beyond the pure size/aesthetics – and look to the functionality of the muscles of the feet and calves.

Wrap Up & Takeaways

Bracing & Core Stability, Topic of the Month / By

This month we go through a foundational checkpoint in everyone’s training – Core Bracing. While the jury is still out on whether or not this may improve symptoms of lower back pain (anecdotally, I have found about a 50% success rate – so not that great on it’s own for LBP) – it is DEFINITELY important for strength and performance in the gym. If you want to know how to improve mobility and strength immediately – watch this series!
