Stretch your outter quad muscles bu=y changing up the angle that you usually stretch in. Many times we get too locked into stretching everything in a straight forward (sagittal plane) manner. You may be surprised at how much a difference changing the angle of a joint will help you stretch a muscle in a totally different way. Try this out on yourself. Vastus lateralis.

Thanks you got it...knee pain gone...just move foot out to the side...so easy when you know how.

[@nyatella]

been looking all over the internet for this, cheers, love how you squat and talk at the same time

[@accomplishedtheory9502]

Just what I needed. I just needed to go back in time 8 years. Thanks for keeping up the great work

[@knuckleballs]

Been tweaking my pitching mechanics lately and noticed that I'm putting a lot of stress on this muscle now, did this stretch for 15 seconds and it completely opened me up. Thanks!

[@sterlihalla]

Exactly what i was looking for.

[@RawthoughtTV]

Dude you've straight-up changed my life, ha! I've been trying to fit my bad leg using the couch stretch for ages and wondering why it wasn't working. Then this modification and BOOM. Thanks!

[@terryeichler351]

Thank You for this stretch was the key to opening up my tight vastus lateralis

[@preetkukreti]

[@simonmanning1844]

Just what I needed. 😊

[@what01164]

Thank you so much

[@Wovn]

Yeah. That's mad. Cheers.

[@satanclaus8381]

Tried this standing up, but my arms do not go behind me so easily anymore so this was great stuff.

Hi. Can I also treat my muscle hardening in Vastus Lateralis with stretching? I would be happy to receive an answer. Greetings from Germany, Thomas.

[@822mickey]

Nice. That feels goooood. Thk ya!

[@tomagadjev3057]

When doing an external rotation in your knee, aren't you reducing the distance between the insertion and origin of the m. vastus lateralis, and therefore putting the emphasis of the stretch more on the m. vastus medialis?

[@johnmalone8666]

That's what I was thinking. I find more a stretch in this area if I do almost the opposite. Think heel behind butt crack and making sure to squeeze butt to send hip forward.

[@kanishaktomar]

I am having vastus lateralis and it also pain my knee on upper outside

[@johnmalone8666]

@@kanishaktomar IMO it could be due to IT band. IT band is in contact with all of those areas. I don't really believe in rolling the IT band because it's non-contractile. Instead, I'd hit the TFL and Glute med attached at the upper portion. This helped me in the past.

[@Erstadol]

Michael Malone How long did you hit the TFL and Glutes for? I have the same problem as the guy above, and the pain when I’m squatting is like nothing I’ve ever felt before. No pain when I walk, except walking up stairs.

[@johnmalone8666]

@@Erstadol in general I try to go for about 2 minutes on any group I'm hitting. A lacrosse ball is good for getting in there, but I've found a softball is one of the best as well. The TFL will light up with pain most likely if you've never hit it before. When attacking the glutemed I sit on the ground and cross the leg of the glute I'm working over my opposite thigh (kind of like a figure 4 position, while sitting in a chair) and roll the glute out like that.

[@millionairemom]

instnat release. once i knew the name of the muscle i was looking for! the others had a foam roller which i don't have... so yours was THE ONE!

[@anne-mari7711]

What a relief! I haven't been helped what ever I've tried.. 🙄 When I did this I thought nothing really changed. But then I twisted my foot.. 😆😆 Something almost "popped"... Like a new leg! 👏👏⚘️⚘️

[@Zack-nl7vs]

Thanks dude.

[@milesemanuelpaavola7994]

Great video, thank you for making it. My father is getting some compression numbness in his vastus lateralis. I'm going to teach this to him. :-D

[@joelanderssonbylin1355]

epic

[@hamidman6974]

Wouldn't this stretch more the Vastus medialis?

[@dominicbarnes712]

this stretch kills my knee and ankle.
