Difficulty recruiting glutes in the couch stretch position indicates positional inhibition.

“if your breath starts to get real small in this position I'm like huh so every time your knee comes behind your body you can't breathe anymore H how's that working for you when you run is that good or bad seems to me that your breath should remain pretty constant independent of what your hip does”

“a lot of people are going to struggle with recruiting and activating their butt in that position because it's what I'm calling positionally inhibited”

“a simple test we do is called the couch stretch and all you need to do is face a wall then turn away from the wall so you're kneeling on the ground hands and knees away from the wall you're going to put one of your knees in the corner so your foot is going straight up and down the knee is in the corner of the wall”

“So, it's basically just a real simple assessment of some hip extension that So, if you were kneeling facing away from the wall, you put your knee in the corner. So, your foot is going up the wall and then you bring your other leg up into a high kneeling position, right? So, you're kind it's kind of like a lunge, but your leg is really bent and going up the wall. So, it's a short lever lunge position. And what we're looking for there is can you get your back upright without banana backing, without just kind of arching. Can you take a breath there? And then can you squeeze your butt there?”
