Fix Your Hip Shift and Tight Glutes With This Simple Stretch

If your hips shift in the squat or deadlift you should be doing this stretch.

Over the last 8 years of coaching professionally, one of my biggest gripes with stretching and traditional “mobility” work is that it borders on a passive modality.

Most lifters just hang out in a stretch, roll their quads, etc but then they get back under the bar and there isn’t any additional context built in the movement. No additional body awareness. No additional movement skill developed.

One of the few “stretches” I still prescribe to some lifters that I coach is this posterior capsule stretch.

If you:

  • Are lacking internal rotation,
  • Have tight glutes,
  • Have a banged up knee or
  • Are shifting away from that side in a squat or deadlift,

Then this one’s for you.
