Standing Hip Flexors
Standing Hip Flexors is a isolation stretching exercise that trains the quadriceps.
StretchingBeginnerIsolationStatic
Primary muscles: Quadriceps
How to do it
- Stand up straight with the spine vertical, the left foot slightly in front of the right.
- Bend both knees and lift the back heel off the floor as you press the right hip forward. You can't get a thorough, deep stretch in this position, however, because it's hard to relax the hip flexor and stand on it at the same time. Switch sides.
Track it with MyoAmigo
MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Standing Hip Flexors from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Quadriceps volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
