What i learned: [[ glutes: ]] The hip flexors (psoas) are the most important muscle for hip flexion (moving your leg forward). The most important muscle for extending your hip (moving your leg back) is the gluteus maximus. Both of these muscles obviously attach high on the hip and control the femur bone (upper thigh). When they are in balance with the proper mobility you inherently have good glute activation patterns. Inhibited glutes or one weak glute will fuck up your hip and your thigh. And you. It might be pretty, but it might just be all it is. So now, I'm practicing getting of a chair, no hands, and not using my quads or my muscles in the lower leg. Only hip and glute getting me up.
