WORLD STRONGEST MAN FIXES MY HIP (Martins Licis & Jujimufu) 

Love that Joey actually asked about where and when to put those movements into your program. That stuff gets glossed over a lot of the time but is super important!

This channel exists at the divine crossroads of memes, actual good advice and overall mogging of the viewers

Love these colabs, Juji and Martins are the best. Martins can make the silliest, goofiest joke one minute then just switch into talking about minute muscle details like its his thesis paper. Strong mind, strong body.

You, Juji and Elitefts have put new insight into my deadlifts. Thanks for helping me get back to basics. I’m maxing out more and lifting heavier because of your series.

Hip flexors in strength athletes (and a lot of other athletes as well) are usually completely undertrained. They do a ton of hip extensions, e.g. squat and deadlift, but almost nobody trains hip flexion so there's a huge imbalance. Kneesovertoesguy talks about it quit a lot and has some specific exercises for it

It's crazy how versatile juji is, dude can do a lot of stuff at a great level.

I’m definitely going to incorporate this into my training. I have narrow hips and they get aggravated easily so I’m constantly stretching them out.

Joey does have friends. If i lived closer, he'd have one more

I honestly think that hanging knee raises are one of the best exercises to fix my hip pain. I focus on really stretching out at the bottom and try to get my knees as high as possible at the top. It’s crazy how quickly It starts to work. The deep split squat is another one that works a treat.

That’s what makes Juji a fuckin god his mobility

Great refresher! I starting applying Juji’s advice a few months ago & my lifts improved by far. Muscle-mind connection, too. 🔥 Stretch fellas

I've only seen Ballet dancers do the move that Martins recommended, it was so cool to see gigantic people do it, as opposed to pencil thin girls

It's awesome how the great quality of the videos sometimes seems almost interchangeable when these guys are together, but watch them all and you'll learn something new and find a new perspective in each one.

My favorite part, aside from the obvious, is that when Martin goes into the hip plane, that’s what impresses Juji the most

The closed captioning on this video is great. Its evidently a colab between Martinez and Judy.

That hip opening exercise that Martin shows is super beneficial. I had first watched Chris Duffin do the same movement when he, Mark Bell, and Silent Mike worked together.

I've been trying hip airplanes for months but I never got them to work well until listening to Martins, serious game changer

Respect and enjoy all 3 of these guys so much all the time but this content in this video is just invaluable. I've been dealing with this exact issue for over a year stemming back to a powerlifting comp deadlift PR. I got the lift but had a grade 1 hamstring strain as a result. Tried to let it heal and recover but I think I did a poor job of giving it adequate time and thus led to a motor pattern change to compensate and that then caused this muscle by the taint, actual name to difficult to spell right now, to become inflammed. I've gotten deep tissue work, chiro, PT and nothing was fixing it. Everyone treated it as a glute or hamstring issue. So excited to try this and grateful for sharing the info. Thanks!!!

I’m glad I saw Martins doing those Tree Pose “opening positions”, thanks for filming this vid Coach Joe ! One of my favourite deadlift warm ups, and during the rest period, IS to do walking Tree Poses with a 5 - 10 sec hold with my body parallel to the floor then when I come out of it and I’m upright I’ll do 3 - 5 knee raises one leg. Take a step forward and repeat

Martins goofy shoulder warmup is my favorite stretch now. Solved all my shoulder issues

I need Martins as my PT. Such a legend.

Squat University promotes the airplane for hip improvement and helps build symmetry for the squats. This movement is truly great!

I have just become certified in Muscle Activation Technique and theory behind is tightness and pain is secondary to weakness and through muscle testing we can reactivate and balance! Usually where it hurts and tight is not issue, just symptoms 💪 love the content and really ate this information up and would love to chip any advice! Stay strong

Martins’ balance is impressive!

Like Joey said, some times going back or looking back at what we used to do if we didn't have pain can be so helpful. I was having pain shooing down the outside of my leg from my IT band after not going to the gym for a year or so. PT had me doing stretches but that wasn't super helpful. Then I looked back at what I was doing a few years ago when I had no pain. I added back more hip abduction work and put more focus on that for a few months. I tried adding back some small exercise that caused the IT band pain and it was gone. For the last couple of months I haven't had any issues with it again. Have continued to focus on the hip abduction work to make sure nothing comes back. I'm going to be adding some of what they talked about here as well to help avoid any future issues. Thanks for doing these videos guys!

Solid information! I had some serious back pain last summer because of muscle imbalances that seriously set me back in my strength training. Because of that experience I love stuff like this.

This was a phenomenal video, keep the great content coming boys, this is solid stuff!

Absolute gold of a video. Great information. Awesome collab! Best wishes Coach.

really enjoy seeing you guys come together to make quality content like this. informative and fun. keep it up!

Coach Joey yet another really great informative video. I have always thought it was a sciatica problem, maybe it was this that was my problem. Thank you sir !

Love the transition at 5:32 for a new segment like…3 feet to the left.

This is so hilarious, Ivan Djuric at SquatEveryday just started doing marches with ankle weights to solve his hip pain when deadlifting too !

Great content! With the front lift stretch kick, if you kick across the body slightly, it helps in an even more effective way to stretch and balance everything in the hip. Open up the hips “first thing in the morning” is fantastic advice.

I played soccer, BJJ, and Muay Thai, and once I started powerlifting heavy I learned I had major hip impingement and torn labrums... Stretching is great but it's important to check for impingement issues before trying to stretch your way out of hip pain

Great content guys! Shows how important stretching, mobility, stability, balance, coordination and flexibility are in training to help facilitate improved strength gains and that sooner or later it’ll catch up to you somehow if neglected for too long!

Oddly, I found this exercise a while ago to help medial glute stabilization while cycling. What I can't seem to sort out is the best way to do progression drills UP TO the way you guys can do it. Is it best to hold onto something, prop the back leg up on a chair or couch and do it, something else? Of course, being a cyclist, I have the same issue with strong up/down muscles, but the small stuff is basically turned off and I want them awake. Same symptom, small low back pain, more annoying than anything. Kudos for the video, and the RU-vid algo that brought me here.

These dudes are awesome…super cool and down to earth! On a more serious note…Glad to see flexibility being stressed and used by elite level strength athletes!

This is a perfect video for me. Having hip flexor issues and IT band issues too. Heavy legs exercises without proper stretching Is bad news, lol

I've been trying to do those air planes for years.i saw Chris duffin so them ages ago talking about warming up, then licis w Aaron but nobody ever explained it this well before. this is my favorite combination of people

Love the content guys, good luck with the hips friends … Copenhagen supports ❤️

i love how Martin share the info from Dr. Aaron

You may get de-monetized for that Juji nip-slip at around 6:28. Lol! Seriously though, this kind of content is really useful even for the average fella like me, who gets aches and pains even from my garage gym. Great vid!

Another informative video, Really loving all your content at the moment. Loved the recent over head press content as it is one of my favourite lifts and had some good little tips.

Thank you for this video. I thought my legs were equal as far as flexibility but I can get my right leg way higher in the front kicks compared to my left. Definitely something to work on. Thanks Joe!

I use Squat University's hip stretches and exercises as well, and it has helped my right hip a lot.

@4:35 when he said you can do this in the morning and it’ll reset your flexibility for the day. I don’t know if there’s anything in the literature currently on this but if I squat to full depth once early in the day I notice at work I can get into deep squats and split squats far more easily for the rest of the day and the bottom position of a barbell squat feels better later that night!

I am watching so much martins content lately what a legend

I have the same issues with my right hip. Been trying to fix it by costient stretching ever night. I have been feeling some progress. May have to try some of this in the morning.

These guys are amazing athletes.

Nutty, I just started doing those "Front Lift Stretch" leg kicks a few weeks ago because it felt really good between deadlift sets. Also need to startup on those Hip-Airplanes again, been slacking like a like a wet spaghetti noodle on those.

I’ve been using the hip-circle to do knee thrusts up to waist height with some speed just for a few weeks as well as the normal lateral crab walk thing you do with the hip circle and my deadlifts are feeling great. Y gym just got a reverse hyper which I’ve only used twice but it’s also making my hips and glutes feel so much better. I’m a very hip dominant squatter with short legs compared to my torso.

Yo, shout out to Squat University

OMG. THE BOYS! ARE! BACK! ALRIGHT!!!

"Quote Joey" "quote Joey" Thanks for the quoting material, Juji 🤣🤣

A lot of great tips, thank you!

The beginning of this video has me rolling

This is gold, thank you

Start it at 8:15, Martins is showing us what the boys are here for

I really want to train with you to see if we have different resluts. My deadlift issues are in my quads and i've had both my hips replaced

Martins back at it with the friendly mogging

I think Elitefts recommended Airplanes to you as well. I love seeing mobility drills being validated by different people.

The hip airplane is very underrated. Chris Duffin first introduced it but no one cared

I should give this a try. My inner thighs is always the most sore area after doing squats.

juji is reaching silver back status. Joey has been there waiting

Damn that's awesome. Need to add some of these stretches into my daily life.

martins won wsm when mateusz, novikov, brian and tom competed 🙌🏻much respeck. going to be very interesting this year but, my monies on him 💪🏻 MACARONI GRILL!

Much love to the Dragon !

the hip opener one is great i t feels so good XD

These guys Crack me up

joey you should talk to Aaron and see if he thinks you need to add some stuff that guy is on point

I’m dealing with hip thingy. I will stretch the way you show up in the video. Thanks

Good info. I too get hip pain after doing weeks of deadlifts. I started doing the airplane a while back after Sam @elitefts highlighted it in a past video.

Jesus, how big is Martins? I never noticed how massive he was till standing next to Joey.

Martins is great! Funniest guy ever!

Martins needs to just do a fucking Ted Talk. The dudes knowledge is amazing. Seeing a 300+ lb man do it is even more amazing.

Where can I get that beautiful colourful Lion's Den shirt you have, Coach Joey?

Ever thought about throwing in some sumo deadlifts? Nothing lights up my adducturs more

MARTINS!

When he started doing the knee lifts I saw kneesovertoes guy. Except he does it with weights on feet.

Come on Joey you have to give Sam from Elite credit for the airplane stretch. He showed you that first.

6:09 sam brown from @elitefts taught me this at the seminar in november

Martins was funny explaining hip pain on the skeleton

Try some belt squat correct hip pain

Feel it in your taint. Classic!

Thats crazy Martins was able to do that one legged move better than Juji

I literally messaged you about this on December 29 suggesting that you open up your hips and do some hip mobility work. I noticed your hip shift during squats during your Litvinov Workout video with Juji. :D I'm glad you are onto something here and I hope you fix your pain.

I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE!

Ogre from Revenge of the Nerds hasn’t aged a day.

Martins makes Joey look small. That's fuckin wild.

I literally have the same pain.

The amount of broscience mixed in with actual science in this video is hilarious

They look like portly ballerinas.

Every athlete includeS “A’s” into their programming.

Juijumfuuu or whatever looks like he's aged a hundred years with all the juice that dudes on. Dudes heart is probably the size of his shoulders now.

Dude makes you realize how big Martins is when he makes Joey look 5’10” next to him lol Update Joey is huge, was just the camera angle at the beginning lol

SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMM!!!!!!

Where is Tom? Is he 400lbs or cracked out yet?

I want to see you all get your pubic bone popped. I play recreational soccer and I am ambidextrous, but I am right foot dominant. Sometimes whenever I play a match and end up using my left foot a lot without warming up properly, I get an intense taint pain. I later learned to pop my pubic bone and the taint pain immediately disappeared. The only problem was the actual pop was also very extremely intense.

I have exactly the same. I can squat, and feel fine i do have to point my toes out a bit more than what i would like to but i can do it pain free. However deadlifting is becoming a pain in the fucking arse! I love deadlifting but its coming to the point where i have to stop doing it all toegheter. I feel like something is catching in the front of my hip ( it feels like its near the psoas muscle/rec fem) I used to play soccer for many many years, now i just lift and run. Had an MRI scan, by the looks of it i have a femoroacetabular impingment with second degenerative disease ( not great new and thanks soccer for this) so might be worth having it look into if it gets worse to find out the exact cause of your hip pain!

Juji looking like a house. Definitely got bigger lately.
