Improve Your Squat with These Hip Mobility Drills

If you’re stuck above parallel or your squat keeps causing pain, the problem isn’t your back or your knees. The real issue is your hip mobility.

Most lifters try to fix their squat thru aimless stretching, foam rolling, or forcing more reps. That doesn’t solve anything if the hips can’t move the way they’re supposed to. When your hips are locked up, your torso tips forward, your knees start compensating, and the bottom position feels unstable or painful.

Improving your hip mobility is one of the biggest keys to unlocking your power. When the hips can’t rotate or open up, your body is forced to compensate, and that’s how irritation and injuries start creeping in.¹ ²

I dealt with poor hip mobility for years and seemingly tried everything. Nothing changed until I fixed my hips and the depth, power, and overall quality finally improved.

✅ Can’t break parallel? Check your hip rotation and adductor tightness.

✅ Low back or knees barking? Your hips are probably stiff.

✅ Losing form at the bottom? Unlock your hips first.

I've spent years developing my own hip mobility sequence. It might not be perfect but it hits all of the key components to unlock your hips and your power.
