The hip hinge is aruguably one of the hardest patterns to do well when in the gym. Deadlifts, Good Mornings, Bent Over Rows and many more exercises are reliant on a strong and stable hip hinge. However many of us find ourselves overly extended, relying on muscles around the lumbar spine and mid back to do most of the work, negating the often targeted tissues of the glutes and hamstrings. So in this session we're going to dissect, rebuild and train a strong and solid hip hinge pattern.
Equipment:
Chair or Stool
2 x Yoga Blocks
Wall Space
A Dumbbell or Kettlebell (optional)
