***also practice TVA and Glute activation during static posture positions, like sitting and standing, ect...build these muscle activations into your everyday activities not just in the gym.
what do you mean by "hip hike"

Good call, the right side (higher hip side) psoas is much tighter than left. Working with a massage therapist on that. TFL seems tight on both sides, but right quad is definitely tighter, so maybe TFL is tighter on right than left. QL is also tighter on right side.
Yes, have been doing lots of glute activation for the past few months. Supine bridges, bird dogs, deadlifts, and also glute medius work - fire hydrants, x-band walks.
How do you do glute activation when sitting? Simply squeezing butt cheeks together?
