Hi all,
I have super tight hip flexors, along with very loose hip joints. Keep getting bad charlie horses when I train, and difficult to do a lot of movements properly like squats.
Any suggestions?

The root cause of tight hip flexors in my case was actually in my lower back - hip abductors to be specific. Not saying this is your issue, just that they can react to a problem elsewhere by tightening up. Stretching them won't help in this instance. I got over my issue by doing hip abduction exercises with mild resistance and full ROM.
