I'm thinking upper part of gluteus major, TFL or whatever else may originate from around the iliac crest.

hmmmm, I've noted this as well but just assumed it was my hip arthritis twinging a bit. I already do lateral work and squats, but will work in more side planks into my routine, have been focusing more on doing regular planks on the ball. I am leery of split squats, I think this might be what contributed to my injuries last year.

Thank you for bringing this up!
