The Hinge: Deadlift, RDL, KB Swing
"
If you only fix one thing in your first month, fix this. The hinge is in the deadlift, the swing, the clean, and basically every workout we program. Get it right and your back never has a bad day.
What this video covers:
- What hinging is vs. what squatting is (the #1 source of confusion)
- Setup: feet, grip, brace
- The 3 most common faults: rounding the back, hyperextending the lockout, hinging from the knees
- Coaching cues we use: "push the floor away," "send the hips back," "long spine"
- The PVC pipe hinge drill
- Where you'll see this all week (RDL, KBS, deadlift)
