Hello guys I think I have AFGS in my left hip which is the result of the pain/discomfort in the crease of my hip when breaking parallel or lower. When I activate my butt with body weight hip thrusts and then go into a body weight squat there is no pain in the crease of the hip and I can go lower.
Any glute activation drills I should do or focus on getting my butt strong enough to move a certain weight during hip thrusts before I continue on with my leg workouts?
do them as a warm up and don’t worry about adding weight. The warm up is just activation, the workout is where you build strength.
so something like:
-hip thrusts
-side lying clams
-bird dogs (this is activation for your core which you also want)
should do the trick. You can stretch your hip flexors too if you want but I’ve never seen a benefit.
make sure you really squeeze the glutes.
