Ive come to the conclusion that my hip flexor are weak. I'm wondering if there are any party approved suggestions to help strenghen them. Hanging leg raises? Sprinting?
The evidence that I need to work on hip flexor strength, incase my logic seems faulty:
- I've never been able to get the pistol. Among my problems, I have trouble keeping the non working leg off the ground.
- I also notice that when I sprint it's my hip flexor a that give out first and are sore the next day. Never my glutes.
- Hamstring flexibility is bad. I think I recall reading in one of Pavels flexibility books that balanced strength between antagonist mucked is important for flexibility. If that's right I've spent a year building my glutes with hard style swings and done nothing but turn off my hip flexors, so that seems unbalanced.
- hanging leg raises tire my hip flexor strength first.
Thanks for any greymatter employed!
