Hip Mobility & Back Health: What You Need To Know

Tight hips? Struggling with deadlifts or squats? In this episode, Ben James dives into the vital connection between hip mobility and lower back health. Answering a listener’s question about hip discomfort during lifts, Ben shares real-world strategies to improve movement, reduce pain, and protect your spine.

Discover why your squat stance might be working against you, and how a sumo-style setup could be the game-changer you’ve been missing. From dynamic mobility drills like the hip airplane and 90-90 switches to power-building moves like goblet and Cossack squats, Ben breaks down the exercises that actually move the needle - without over-stressing your back.

Ben also explores the critical role of individual hip anatomy when it comes to movement quality and performance. Not all hips are built the same, and pushing through pain in pursuit of textbook form can actually do more harm than good. This episode highlights the importance of adapting your training to suit your own range of motion, encouraging a smarter, more sustainable approach to strength and mobility.

You'll learn:

  • Why hip stiffness often leads to back pain (and how to fix it)

  • How to tailor your stance based on your anatomy

  • The key differences between dynamic and static stretching for hip health

  • The top 4 mobility exercises to build stronger, more resilient movement patterns

Whether you're lifting for performance, recovery, or daily life - this episode will help you move better and feel stronger.
