So I have been trying to do the How To Get Your Hips Open video under The.

Hey, so I have been trying to do the How To Get Your Hips Open video under The Goat Theory and have a couple questions/issues to resolve: 1) Should my left glute feels sore doing this? 2) I have a similar issue that one of the commenters for the video has in that when I try to fall to the left side after getting my right hip higher than my left in the backswing I increase the axis tilt and though my upper and lower body are moving to the left my lower body is way out ahead almost like a slide and I can't seem to fix it. I am trying to make sure I don't push and just fall as I know that can cause a slide but even that seems to not work. Any thoughts on how to fix it? After this I worked on it some more and focused more on the left shoulder staying low to fall back over I had less left glute soreness but my left knee hurts doing the practice (small swings then to a full swing) and when I hit the ball it seemed my lower back was hurting so I must be doing something wrong. Video of practice swings is attached (sorry it’s dark again). Don’t want to do too many wrong. Thanks for your help as always.

Here is me hitting a ball. What seemed to work result wise was feeling my left shoulder fall over to the left side then trying to side arm throw.

Hello Lee. In the drill swing your left knee hurts because you are closed hip sliding. As you fall back into the lead side the lead knee has to externally rotate to help you get stacked and hip to start opening properly. You are stressing the knee and it's the reason you get more into a slide/lots of glute soreness overworking to get out of this position.
