Reverse squats are criminally underrated. If your low back gets tight after runs or heavy lifts… this is your fix. The reverse squat unloads the spine while strengthening the hip flexors and deep core.

It also opens up tight hips by training them through controlled flexion under load. Translation: stronger hip flexors, better pelvic control, less stiffness. And don’t sleep on
