Gluteal Amnesia—And How to Fix It

by Dan John, Master RKC

Vertical Bird Dog

by Dan John, Master RKC

Recently, someone said they don’t do the bird dog exercise because it “bothers their knees.” I looked at the concrete floor and thought (for once!), “You know, a pad would work here.” But, the pad didn’t solve the problem, and bird dogs still hurt this person’s knees.
