Here are a few ways to deal with those pesky Grappling/Martial Arts Groin Injuries and Pain down below! ā¬ļøšš¾ - First up, let's talk about a basic warm-up and rehab exercise, especially if you're dealing with an injury. Try the Med Ball Squeeze. It's a good way to get some blood flowing to those adductors and wake 'em up. When you're injured, getting blood to the area is always a win. - Next, grab a light band and give the Banded Adduction a shot. You can crank out 10-20 reps or even go wild with 100 if it feels good. Remember, no pain allowed here! I like to mix it up with slow and fast reps, different angles, and foot positions ā in front or behind the body. - Now, let's hit those groin muscles a bit harder with the Copenhagen plank. It's an isometric beast, but you can also add some up-and-down action as you get better at it. The Copenhagen hop option is also there when youāve really leveled up your proficiency here. - The ATG Split Squat is another gem. It does wonders for your back hip flexor and groin, plus it's a knee and ankle flexion champ. I personally throw some version of this move into my daily routine, with or without weights. - I know youāve head of The Horst Stance. It's straight out of martial arts flicks, and there's a reason for that. Whether you're into kicking or grappling, it directly targets those groin muscles. Add some weight to level up your mobility and strength in this position ā it's a game-changer for martial artists. - Now, the Seated Good Morning is awesome, but go slow and steady. If your abs can't reach the bench without bending your spine, take a step back. Start with Dumbbells, and use an incline bench to increase your range of motion gradually. You'll feel your adductors activate and stretch as you master this move. Plus, your lower back will thank you, and your ability to maintain posture in BJJ will level up. - And hey, if you want more ways to strengthen that groin and improve your overall movement skills, check out the UNTAPPED program.
