Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Hip flexors
« on: December 09, 2010, 11:28:09 pm »IMO their main importance is from a postural perspective and femoral control. Basically if the hip flexors are weak the glutes can't do their job becuase the hips aren't set in a way that primes the glutes optimally and the TFL tends to take over in hip flexion. It's common in people with a naturally flat ass. Strengthen their hip flexors and all the sudden the posture of the hips changes and the glutes are more easily engaged. The relative size and strength of the psoas in black people is significantly greater than whites.
Really? I find that hard to understand and/or believe.
