Things mentioned in this video:
This 5 day pilot study shows how we were able to increase the activation of our butt muscles in the squat exercise by up to almost 40% in only 5 days of doing hip flexor stretches. By stretching the hip flexors, it allows the glutes to extend the hips without running into a wall of tightness from the opposite side– a phenomenon know as altered reciprocal inhibition. So, based on our results it may be beneficial to include some form of regular hip flexor stretching into ones daily routine, especially before doing glute strength workouts.
