Thread: Powerlifting and Hips

absolutely mayn, they are vital. Thats why things like box squats are done, sled dragging is fantastic, if your not doin I suggest getting that goin, spread eagle sit ups really focus on the hip flexors. Not sure what type of movements you are thinking of but they defn won't hurt. there are lots of plenty of movements that invlove the hip flexors, most hams movements do.. I can post some specific ones if you want

Thanks Gr81. What I was wondering was if I should use those machines that squeeze your legs together on or pull them apart. As Greeky calls them, good girls and bad girls LOL.

In that case would doing Hip adductors and abbductor exercises be beneficial?

YES!!!! Very important!! They help tremendously! Especially if you squat sumo!! They also help with your deadlift!!
