They must be my weak point!!When sprinting..they are the ONLY muscle group to hurt! So.anyone have any good HIP FLEXOR exercises? I really want to strengthen them. Thanks!

Edit- this muscle group may also be called the iliopsoas muscles. But its that muscle AND the area around it that hurts... so.any exercises for this area would be helpful

This excercise is from the Louis Simmons,
Westside barbell, series of videos.
You take the weight off the power rack from a kneeling position, with the bar on
your back as in the squat, sit back on your heels and then back up. The ankle was bent toward the front of the knee so that your toes dig into the floor. Start off light so that you learn a good smooth takeoff and technique
with controlled descent and assent and body position comfortable for you.
Obviously, if you feel excessive pain in
the excercise, QUIT. You should see for youself as you perform the excercise and recover over the next few days whether this would work for
you.
The excercise on the video was done in a Power rack cage with the take off hook and stop pins set appropriately and, with padding on the knees. You could use carpet or matting. Personally,
I like the strap on knee pads like they use for gardening or carpet laying.
Per the video instructions, Do not go crazy on weight on this one and use
sets of ten or so. Break into the excercise carefully as this one is pretty intense on the hip flexors. Be sure the pins in
the power cage are set so that the weight is caught at the bottom. You
don't want to get stuck in the kneeling position with a weight on your back.
Spotters are good if available.

you got it... the movement is initiated with your hip flexors and quads instead of your hams and glutes...Originally posted by healthy n'fit
