ITT: Psoas strengthening

>>39423102
>An exercise I figures out (it probably existed before my discovery) is where you stand in a squat position, knees bent, hands up (shoulder height, facing the ground) and head up high, ears above shoulders, ass sticking out too. Then jump, keeping a straight spinal chord bring your knees up to your hands, tapping them and then coming back down.

Record yourself doing that and share it with the board please.
Thanks.

I think you try to get your ears below your shoulders with your head up high.

Nope, there's a board for that /sexymen/

your psoas major and minor are responsible for trunk flexion, flexion of the thigh, and unilaterally they perform lateral flexion of the vertebral column. as you have been able to gather, they also help to stabilize the trunk.

when the psoas major, minor, and iliacus combine then you have the very important iliopsoas group. your iliopsoas group are your hip flexors. that's their important function.

there are other, more important "core" muscles to place your focus on.

What is more important than the psoas group? I don't think anything is "more" important, maybe of equal importance.

If your psoas is weak you can't enjoy walking, sex, all that regular shit that you don't need a sixpack for.

you're not going to have a weak psoas unless you were in a coma

>If your psoas is weak you can't enjoy walking, sex, all that regular shit

all shit that you can do without ever "training" those muscles. are you saying you weren't able to walk prior to doing your jumping knee slaps?

you sound like some idiot that learned about a relatively obscure muscle group on some Tnation article that shilled it as the next coming of christ and proceeded to make this post.

If you have an office job, your psoas is probably weak.

If you don't play a sport, your psoas is probably weak.

How many people do you know stand up most of the day? Probably none. Folks that work in offices at stand up desks have figured it out.

No, I'm a dude who was on accutane for a year and who suffered incredibly muscle weakness, especially around my spine. The psoas touches the lower spine.

I was so bad to the point where my dicke and balls were under stress because the muscles in my pelvic area were so weak.

It gave me bad depression and anxiety because the psoas region is directly linked to the lizard brain. Having a weak psoas like I had = constant messages to the brain saying "you're not okay"

bumpppppp
