My hip hinges are fucked. Is that the right term? Hip hinge... I always thought itbwas called my hip flexor.. I need some exercises to loosen my hips either way dammit.

    lol literally yesterday this arrived in my inbox: https://gmb.io/hip-flexors/

    Obviously I’m not paid by them and I’m not affiliated with them. I just like their stuff and they’re my main exercise

    Why would it be obvious? Now I didn't know what to think. 🤔

    Ah. You’re right. It’s not obvious.

    You seem to care about truth, validity, and honesty.

    I know trusting a stranger on the internet sounds absurd. But is it really impossible for someone to have had a coincidence in their day? Or for someone to really like something and share it?

    Here’s what it ultimately comes down to: would you distrust me if I simply promised it's true? What if it’s a digital pinky promise? What if it’s a digital double-pinky promise? Heck, I didn't think it'd come down to this, but if you're down to take off one of your shoes we could have a digital triple-pinky promise. I'd offer a quadruple-pinky promise but that seems too decadent.

    Hip hinge angle is the angle at which you will have to bend over to grab the barbell. Depending on your skeleton morphology you could have a near horizontal back when grabbing the bar. On the other extreme you will sometimes see lifters with an almost straight upright back lifting. Most people are so where in between that angle though.

    Your hip flexor is a muscle group connecting your torso to your upper leg skeleton. These help to either lift/flex your legs or torso depending on which is stationary. Deadlifts can work the hip flexors, but a better exercise would be something like leg raises, lunges, or even squats as those exercises would target more of the front leg muscles. Good luck!
