Discover Your Body’s Primal Muscle That helps Reduce Pain, Promote Weight Loss, Enhance Your Strength Training And Increase Energy when it’s relaxed!
And learn how you can unlock its potential with a 10-minute sequence of specially formulated movements.
If you train hard and eat well, it should be enough to keep you in good health and physically and emotionally strong.
Yet, there is a muscle in your body that you might not be aware of.
It affects you, no matter how active or sedentary you are, or how old or young you are.
And if it’s not kept in good condition, it can affect not only our bodies, but our entire well-being. In fact, I believe that many common health conditions are caused by this muscle not being stretched enough, strange as that sounds. What is it?
You might be surprised to learn…
… it's tight hip flexors.
You see, our hip flexors are the engine through which our bodies move. They control balance, our ability to sit, stand, twist, reach, bend, walk and step.
Everything goes through the hips.
And when the hip flexors tighten it can lead to a host of problems, even in seemingly healthy and active individuals.
Before I reveal how loads of people end up having tight hip flexors yet never realize it, let me introduce myself.
My name is Mike Westerdal and I'm a national best-selling fitness author, sports nutrition specialist, personal trainer, Iron Man magazine contributor and founder of the popular strength training site, CriticalBench.com
In a moment, I'll reveal to you a systematic, step-by-step program designed to loosen your hip flexors and unlock the hidden power in your body.
But first, let me explain just how deep-rooted the problem is.
HOW TIGHT HIPS CAN HOLD YOU BACK…
Many people don’t realize that the root cause of some of their pain and other health problems might be tight hip flexors.
The impact the hips have on the whole body never occurred to me until I saw the effect tight hip flexors had on the health and well-being of my wife after she gave birth.
It was only then that I truly understood the magnitude of the problem.
Tight or locked hip flexors can contribute to the following problems:
- Nagging joint pain in the legs, lower back or hips [19-26][29]
- Walking with discomfort [19-27][29]
- Hips locking up [29]
- Bad posture [27]
- Trouble sleeping [30]
- Sluggishness in day to day life [31]
- High anxiety [32]
- Lack of explosiveness in the gym or sports [33][49-54]
Do you find it surprising that all of this might be simply caused by this one tight muscle?
Many people suffer from tight or locked hip flexors, especially those who sit for hours each day, but few realize the impact on your whole body.
Again, everything flows through the hips.
They help to support the strength and health of your entire body.
AND AT THE VERY HEART OF THIS IS THAT POWERFUL SURVIVAL MUSCLE – HIP FLEXORS
HIP FLEXORS ARE THE BODY'S MOST POWERFUL, PRIMAL MUSCLE… THAT YOU'VE NEVER TRAINED
INTRODUCING THE BODY'S MOST POWERFUL,
PRIMAL MUSCLE… THAT YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF
(Let Alone Trained!)
Your hips are the bridge between your upper body and lower body. They are at the center of your body's movement.
Sitting within the well of your hip and lower spine is the psoas major muscle, one of the two muscles that makes up the iliopsoas.
It’s often called the "mighty" psoas (pronounced so-az) for the many important functions it plays in the movement of your body.
The psoas is the only muscle in the human body connecting the upper body to the lower body.
The muscle attaches to the vertebrae of the lower spine, moves through the pelvis and connects to a tendon at the top of the femur. It also attaches to the diaphragm, so it’s connected to your breathing, and upon it sits major organs.
A properly functioning psoas muscle creates a neutral pelvic alignment, stabilizes the hips, supports the lower spine and abdomen, supports the organs in the pelvic and abdominal cavity and it is what gives you great mobility and core strength.
When it functions well, it has the power to ….
- … Help the body metabolize (burn) fat. [34-36]
- … Help improve athletic performance. [49-54]
- … Help improve strength training and endurance. [27][44-45][49-54]
- … Help improve energy levels. [31]
- … Help you sleep more comfortably and soundly through the night. [30]
Put simply, this muscle is the core of activity in your body. So, when it's out of balance or if the psoas tightens, serious consequences can flow throughout the body.
And there's one activity, in particular, that's the sworn enemy of your psoas muscle…
THE ACTIVITY THAT makes us WEAKER and heavier
It may be the most harmless activity known to man, but can lead to a wide variety of issues.
Even if you're the most active of athletes, you may still suffer from a tight psoas due to the amount of time you spend each day planted to a chair.
Weakness, shortening and tightness develops in the muscle from sitting for extended periods of time, contributing to poor sleep, posture and even stress and tension.
HERE ARE 3 WAYS THAT SITTING CAN HURT PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH:
BULGING BELLY SYNDROME
My clients sometimes wonder why their stomachs stick out, even though they’re hammering the core exercises every day. It's a common myth that bulging belly is due to weak abdominal muscles. The real cause is likely to be tight psoas muscles, which cause the lower back to curve, pushing out the stomach. When the psoas works properly, it pulls the abdomen back, tucking the tummy in, adding to the appearance of a strong, flat stomach.
FAT LOSS INHIBITOR
As the body's "fight or flight" muscle, your psoas is deeply connected to our natural survival instinct. It instantly tightens in moments of danger to either protect you (in a fetal position) or help you run, fueled by the release of adrenaline. However, with your psoas constantly tight, it’s as though you are in constant danger. When your body is stressed, it often switches into fat storing mode in anticipation of danger. [34-36] So, if fat loss is an issue for you, tight hips might be to blame.
UNCOMFORTABLE SLEEP
Sitting all day causes your hips to become stuck in a forward thrust position. This leads to pulling on the lower back and decreased blood flow and circulation through the hips. This tightness results in physical discomfort, making it more difficult to fall asleep and more likely to wake up throughout the night. [30]
SITTING FOR LONG HOURS MAY LEAD TO HEALTH HAZARDS BECAUSE IT CAN TIGHTEN YOUR PSOAS MUSCLE.
WHY TIGHT HIP FLEXORS CAN LEAD TO HERNIATED LUMBAR DISCS:
People who spend most of each day sitting, are at greater risk for tightening the psoas muscles, which then pulls the upper lumbar spine forward.
As a result, the upper body misaligns and rests on the ischial tuberosity (sitting bones) rather than being properly distributed along the arch of the spine.
But here’s the great news…
You can do something about it!
WHY STATIC STRETCHING ALONE ISN'T THE ANSWER
Knowing you have tight hip flexors is one thing.
Knowing how to fix your tight hip flexors is another challenge altogether.
If you trust so-called experts on YouTube and online, they'll have you believe it's simply a case of holding a few static stretches for a period of time to try and lengthen the muscle.
Or rolling around with a tennis ball stuck to your hip (as if that will really make any difference).
It takes more than a tennis ball and foam roller to unlock your hip flexors…and doing it wrong could cause damage.
The reason few people manage to fix their hip flexors is simple.
It's really a hard area to reach.
Your psoas is buried deep inside your core, making it tough to access. It's a hard muscle to find, let alone train.
Static Stretching Has Its Place - But You Need To Attack Your Hips With A Variety Of Movements Including The Ones Below
So it's little wonder why trying to loosen it requires more than a simple static hip flexor stretch.
If you’ve found you're spending (or wasting) time stretching this way only to find it's having minimal effect, that is why.
That's because you need to attack the muscle from a variety of angles using a variety of exercise techniques and modalities in order to "unpack" the muscle in the right way.
The truth is, you can learn to release your tight hip flexors on your own.
You can think of your psoas as a combination safe lock, there are certain exercise combinations that will unlock it. You just need to know the code. [38-45]
And, there are a number of specific movements beyond simple static stretching you can use to unlock and loosen your hips, legs and back.
Some of these include:
PNF STRETCHING:
PNF is an acronym for proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation. It is a technique where you are activating a specific muscle in order to relax the muscles around a joint so you can decrease the stiffness around a joint.
DYNAMIC STRETCHING:
This is where you are activating the muscle around a joint and moving that joint through its full range of motion in a progressive manner. This leads to an increased range of motion around the joint, warming up of the muscle around the joint and improved circulation around the joint. Think of high knees or butt kicks.
3-DIMENSIONAL CORE STABILITY EXERCISES:
With these exercises we are targeting the muscle in all planes of movement so the core and abdominal muscles have good activation, endurance and strength in all planes of movement which leads to a decrease in unnecessary damaging stress on joints
MOBILITY EXERCISES:
In these exercises, we are targeting the joint and doing movements and exercises that help the joint function optimally. This allows a joint to move more freely.
FASCIA STRETCHING:
In this unique technique, we are targeting the tissue that muscles are surrounded in and working on loosening and lengthening the fascia. Few people understand the negative effect this tissue can have on your body.
MUSCLE ACTIVATION MOVEMENTS:
Due to all of our sitting and daily technology use, many of our muscles are not working properly. With this technique, we're targeting those muscles that are off and activating them in order to help the body move more efficiently.
Now that you know the specific techniques you need to unlock your hip flexors, the next question is how to combine these in the most effective way. Please don't be overwhelmed by the "Shop Talk" above because…
LOOSENING YOUR HIP FLEXORS CAN ACTUALLY BE EASY
WITH THE SEQUENTIAL FLOW METHOD
Like unfolding a sheet or unpacking a parcel, opening up the muscles in your hips should be done in the right order. [38]
Slowly releasing one muscle before another to avoid injury and increasing hip tightness.
It's why so many people give up trying to fix the problem themselves and believe incorrectly that they have to live with the problem. But hoping the problem will go away by not exercising is just as damaging.
To explain in more detail about this flow, let me introduce you to leading Kinesiologist and Injury Specialist, Rick Kaselj, MS.
Rick is "THE GUY" fitness professionals go to when they want to learn about the latest techniques to help their own clients. He's given over 352 live presentations to more than 8,152 health professionals in the US and Canada.
I first met Rick when he helped me fix a shoulder problem. He was one of the few injury specialists I met who helped athletes by focusing on getting them back to training, rather than avoiding workouts.
Rick showed me what so many other injury specialists hadn't - how to work through the right sequence of techniques to unlock the tension and tightness in my muscles to properly solve the problem.
He's the guy I turned to when my wife, Courtney, was struggling with pain and discomfort in her hips after the birth of our son Lincoln.
In the days and months following the birth, she experienced pain in her legs and discomfort when walking and sitting. She was struggling to sleep.
In just 15 minutes working with Rick, he successfully unlocked her hip flexors so she no longer felt any pain or discomfort that day. She was able to walk without experiencing the nagging pain in her pelvic area. She could sleep better and could start enjoying those precious days with our little one at home.
But Rick's "flow" technique doesn’t only help those in pain.
At Critical Bench, our Head Strength Coach Chris Wilson felt his hip flexors were a little tight (from sitting and answering training questions on Facebook too much) and tried the same routine Rick had used with my wife. Within days, Chris successfully increased his deadlift by 35 pounds to finally hit that 500 pound pull he had been training for. All because he got to experience the sequential flow of movements that Rick developed to release his hip flexors.
It’s not just about the exercises.
THE POWER OF RICK'S TECHNIQUE LIES NOT ONLY IN WHAT TECHNIQUES ARE PERFORMED AND HOW WELL, BUT IN DOING THESE IN A CERTAIN SEQUENCE.
DONE EFFECTIVELY, THE SEQUENTIAL FLOW WORKS WITH YOUR BODY TO HELP RELIEVE CHRONIC PAIN, IMPROVE FLEXIBILITY, AND INCREASE STRENGTH AND VITALITY. [38-45]
In my experience, doing this specific sequence that Rick developed has worked better than any other sequence I’ve tried. Rick’s special set of sequential stretches has been designed to relax your muscles in the RIGHT order. And while many of the techniques were ones I already knew, I found that the right sequence can help loosen tissues including muscle, fascia, connective tissue, and the joint capsule, while aiding in breaking up scar tissue.
I've seen, with my own eyes, the power of Rick's techniques on my wife and our Head Strength Coach Chris Wilson.
That's why I asked Rick to share with you the very same program so you too can help unlock your hip flexors and gain all the benefits.

THESE TWO POWERFUL BONUSES
BONUS 1
Unlock Your Tight Hamstrings
"The Key To A Healthy Back And Perfect Posture"
First and foremost, if the muscles of the hamstrings are tight, they are more susceptible to tearing. No matter if you're an elite athlete, stay-at-home mom or average Joe, a muscle tear in the back of your legs can take months to heal and recover from, making life very challenging.
In today's world, most people make a living from a seated position along with sitting in their car and while at home. All of that sitting over time increases tightness in the hamstrings. Having tight hamstrings causes the hips and pelvis to rotate back which flattens the lower back and causing lower back pain and poor posture.
In a perfect world, everyone would get regular sports massage to help improve the muscle tissue quality of the hamstrings by increasing blood flow. Unfortunately for most of us, that isn't always possible.
However, there is something all people can do by themselves which takes only minutes per day to help improve muscle condition and loosen up those tight hamstrings.
This super effective routine helps to reduce the likelihood of injury, improves performance, corrects posture and can also alleviate pain in the lower back. [19-26][29][49-54]
BONUS 2
The 7-Day Anti-Inflammatory Diet
"Automatically Heal Your Body With The Right Foods"
The Unlock Your Hip Flexors program is designed to bring you all the benefits of looser hip flexors with greater strength, power and flexibility.
But its benefits are multiplied when combined with a holistic diet to naturally alleviate pains, aches, soreness and stiffness by tackling inflammation caused by injury or environmental toxins in our food and water.
Your diet is one of the major causes of inflammatory responses leading to health deterioration.
Now, you can help improve your body's response to inflammation by choosing the right foods that work with your body to stimulate its natural healing abilities.
The 7-Day Anti-Inflammatory Diet is a Done-For-You nutrition program featuring diet recommendations, meal plans, shopping lists and supplement tips to help your body automatically heal itself.
INSIDE THE UNLOCK YOUR HIP FLEXORS
PROGRAM, YOU'LL DISCOVER:
- Exactly how to target those hard-to-reach muscles with detailed, step-by-step walk-through videos of every single Key Move (Rick's simple, clear demonstration of these powerful moves will help them become second nature in no time).
- Why your hips are vital for maintaining correct posture and help promote peak performance.
- The true impact of your body's “Mighty Muscle” and how it really affects physical, emotional and spiritual well-being (you'll be amazed at how big an impact this can have on everyday life).
- How overall health can be compromised by tight hip flexors, and how to loosen them up to see faster fat loss and increased energy.
- The main causes for the psoas muscle to change structure, a major warning sign for your body (any change, however minimal, has an overwhelming impact that ripples across your body causing other muscle groups to compensate).
- Why we're just as likely to be affected by this problem if you're a balls-to-the-wall gym rat training 24/7 or a couch potato.
- Why tight hip flexors are exasperated if you have a desk job or drive a car for long periods of time.
- The reason intense core workouts could be doing more harm than good if you haven't loosened up your hips first.
- Why strong legs and glutes are important to your overall heath and why you need to prevent too much flexion of your hips.
- How trauma, injury and stress can build up within your posture and how it can ultimately affect your psychological state.
- Why the "cure" isn't simply to stop sitting (you need to be more pro-active in targeting the muscles affected to undo the damage from sitting all day).
- Why "comfort" and "support" are the enemies of our natural physiology and how we can start to move back towards our natural posture (forget pillows, support cushions and belts.)
- The 2 situations you NEED to be aware of when training your glutes to ensure they're properly activated for maximum athletic performance.
- Why relaxing your psoas muscle can help clear your mind, re-energize your thinking and relieve stress.
- Plus much, much more…

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT
UNLOCK YOUR HIP FLEXORS
Stronger & Faster Than Ever
"Being an athlete all my life and having endured multiple knee surgeries due to blowing out ACL's in both knees, I later started to develop a hip issue in my right hip due to the years of wear and tear. It actually got so bad it was hard for me to perform as an athlete as well as be a productive coach for my clients.
After getting an MRI to have it checked out, I realized I had a degenerative arthritic condition in the hip that is not reversible. Surgery was not an option I wanted to go through so I contacted Rick Kaselj to see if he had something for me. When I started to apply the strategies from Unlock Your Hip Flexors it helped me re-balance my pelvis and hip joint to where I couldn't even tell I had an issue anymore.
These days I'm stronger and faster than ever and still competing in sports. Rick gave me the ability to perform at my highest level as a coach and regain the athletic ability I had lost over the years from wear and tear. I've been using Rick's strategies for years to help myself manage and recover from injuries as well as countless members of the fitness community. I couldn't recommend this product enough!"

You Need Flexible Hips to Live a Long Healthy Life
"I have known Rick Kaselj since college. Since then I have gone to Chiropractic college and become a Diplomate of the International College of Applied Kinesiology and a Diplomate in Clinical Nutrition. As a result I have come to some important conclusions about how the body works. Hip flexibility, mobility and strength is one of the most important things you can do to keep your overall body healthy. The way we moved thousands of years ago is our natural state, which requires flexible and mobile hips.
I was excited to hear about Rick Kaselj’s Unlock Your Hip Flexors program and have read the manual and watched the videos. I was very impressed with the content. I implemented the concepts and program into my practice with my clients.
Rick has developed a comprehensive system to unlock your hips and restore movement the way it should be. Everyone could benefit from Unlock Your Hip Flexors. The two most important things to live a long healthy life are good quality whole foods and great movement, which requires great hip mobility. I cannot recommend this program enough."

If you do any kind of explosive lifting, Unlock Your Hip Flexors can definitely help you add pounds to your max!"

If You Sit A Lot You Need Unlock Your Hip Flexors
"As a gym owner and personal trainer, I'm always in search of the latest techniques and exercises to help my members and clients with strength and overall body function. Knowing how much people sit and unknowingly abuse their hips in everyday life makes Unlock Your Hip Flexors so worthwhile.
The other added bonus is how simply and quickly these techniques can be applied at the start of any workout making all movements of the body better in just minutes. The response has been life changing not only for my clients but for myself."

Get The Edge Over the Competition
"If you are an athlete that relies on explosiveness in your sport, then you must be aware of the #1 road block in your performance... tight hip flexors.
It's the hidden killer of success. Athletes that sit all day for their day job are causing terrible alignment in their hips... which wreaks havoc on other areas of their body. Improving the mobility in your hips will give you the extra edge over the competition and improve the effectiveness of your workouts.
Mike and Rick's Unlock Your Hip Flexors program is the most complete, systematic approach that I've ever seen on the market. The program will help take your athleticism to the next level no matter if you are a top professional or just starting out."

Unlock Your Hips to Unlock Your Squat
"I’ve had so many personal training clients come and see me over the years that can’t squat properly, it drives me mad! This is mostly due to their hip mobility or lack of it! If you sit all day, have hips that are stiff, suffer from mysterious hip aches or struggle to do a perfect squat, then you need to check out Rick Kaselj and his Unlock Your Hip Flexors program.
In my experience, tight hips, achy hips, and poor squatting, if not addressed, will lead to more serious injuries and pain further down the line, which is why I whole heartedly recommend Rick’s Unlock Your Hip Flexors program. Get it!"

FAQS ABOUT UNLOCK YOUR HIP FLEXORS
Q: How is this different from other hip flexibility programs?
A: What makes Rick's program unique is knowing how to unravel the tricky layers of tension with the very difficult psoas muscle in order to effectively loosen and train it.
Q: Why are you selling this so cheap? What's the catch?
A: There is none. We're so pleased with the number of our customers who have made the investment in this program and have enjoyed life-changing results.
Our aim is to make this available to as many people as possible, firstly to welcome more people to our CriticalBench.com audience and secondly because we're celebrating hitting a quarter million fans on Facebook.
Q: How long will it take me to do the program?
A: The program is designed to take between 10-15 minutes in total to complete.
We recommended adding the program as a daily practice to get the best results over a longer period of time. You may wish to add this program before or after your regular gym session or use it independently.
Q: How long until I see results?
A: Although everyone is different and results may vary, we know from experience how quickly it's possible to feel and see a difference.
For some it may be as soon as their first session; for others it may take a few sessions to really start seeing the benefits. Again, it depends on the body in question.
Q: Who is this program suitable for?
A: This program is suitable for you if you're currently suffering from inexplicable back, hip or joint pain.
The exercises themselves are not strenuous and are designed to be carried out by anyone, regardless of ability.
Q: Can I perform the Sequential Flow if I have had a hip replacement?
A: The answer to this is very individual. It depends on what type of hip replacement surgery you had and how you have recovered from the surgery. It is best to ask your surgeon or doctor to see which exercises of the sequential flow you should do or avoid.
Q: I want to start right away. Do I have to wait for the book and videos to come in the mail?
A: You don’t have to wait. Unlock Your Hip Flexors Program is an instant access downloadable program that includes videos and manuals and/or physical DVD and manual.
If you select and order the physical DVD and manual of Unlock Your Hip Flexors, they will be shipped to you in the mail.
If you select digital access to Unlock Your Hip Flexors, you will get INSTANT ACCESS to download the videos and manuals.
The ebooks are in the format of adobe acrobat PDF, which can be viewed on Mac or PC. The video format is M4V which can be viewed on Mac, PC, computer, tablet or smartphone. You can also select a physical and digital option where you get both.
Q: Are the exercises hard to perform?
A: No. Once you watch the coaching videos they will be easy for you. There are also progressions to make the movements more challenging if needed.
Q: What if the routine doesn’t work for me?
A: It will work. But to make you feel better, if for any reason you're not happy with the program, just let us know and we will give you a full refund for up to 60 Days, no questions asked. We stand behind this product 110% and have no problem offering a money back guarantee.
Q: Do I need a gym membership or any special equipment?
A: No. You can do this routine anywhere in a very small space. All you need is a wall to lean on for support for a couple of the movements.
