Terribly tight glutes, preventing me from deadlifting.

[Bobby Bani]

Last week I trained legs twice (squats, front squats) which I'm guessing is the probable cause, but it feels as if both my gluteus medius and maximus are tightening up when performing pulling movements. I was scheduled to do pause deads however even 225' caused a little problem with stabilization. My lower back feels fine, but my tight glutes can definitely cause a problem to it overtime. Anyone might have any advice for recovering?

Not on any ASS btw. Cheers.

I get this from time to time... I drive 160 miles for work every day, and stand all day usually while moving shit around, and that's outside the gym. Sometimes hips and glutes will tighten and I'll end up with sciatic pain.

The way I correct it and the consistent reason it persists is mobility. So I do 7 stretches for them twice a day, 15 second hold on each side so it doesn't take more than about 5 min each time usually.

But I've found that whenever I'm out of my stretching routine, the sciatic pain always comes back and it starts with like a tightness and twinge in the glutes.

I go get a massage and tell them to work the glutes and hips for more than half the session and then start stretching routine over again. It's not perfect, but it keeps me able to continue working and training

Yeah bro it's terrible! Even with squats it makes it harder to get out of the hole when lowering down.

I would suggest graston therapy and maybe some deep tissue massage. Those helped me tremendously

Do some sets of 10 of pullthroughs to loosen yourself up. Once you are good, squat, DL, good mornings, and/or Glute Ham Raises twice a week and don’t worry about this happening in the future.
