How To Hip Hinge Properly (Fix THIS!)

[@ammo9599]

2:02, you're welcome.

[@hayleycepeda7872]

This has been a game changer for me and my clients! I cannot thank you guys enough for your content.

[@AndreInvests]

Great talk about hip hinge! It’s very crucial to hinge correctly, reduces injury and key for efficient strength gains!

[@MindPumpTV]

I wish more people understood this.

[@BossLevelPro]

This technique improved my form 100%. I was having lower back pain but felt like I was doing things right. Turns out I was reaching further than proper form allowed, rounding my shoulders and back enough to be a disruption. I feel all the work in my hamstrings now. I applied the same concept to plie squats and getting into a good inverted row position. I had to make a point to return and say thank you for saving by back!

Finally a video that is helping me “find my hinge” thank you

YOUR CLIENTS WILL LOVE THIS :D

[@kaoserdnase]

Thanx ror explaining the mechanics

[@MindPumpTV]

kaoserdnase hopefully you found some value,

[@emilioperez3481]

this is awesome information. i never knew how important hip hinge is to most exercises in the gym

[@praveenraaaj]

Very much informative and useful

[@ms.sharon.262]

Was looking for this vid. Hurt my back doing the dead lift. Thanks.

[@MindPumpTV]

Sharon Schubert This should help!

[@neumichel]

I'm tall. 6'4". I have a herniated disc L4/L5. I am currently in physical therapy and one of the exercises i have been given was a kettlebell deadlift. The therapist didn't mention anything about form, so perhaps I'm diggin to deep....but when I tried to do the hinge with the rod, as suggested, i immediately felt it in my lower back after hinging just a few inches. Without the rod, I can hinge and feel just my glutes and hamstrings. I think that this hinge test might not be recommended for everyone. Or, at least, some caveats need to be added so people don't get discouraged. I have stenosis, lordosis....all the goodies that comes with being over 50. I can still deadlift while engaging the right muscles.

[@paigeharris7874]

Great info as always -- going to incorporate this with my clients!

[@MindPumpTV]

Paige Knapp It will click with them, I promise!

[@gm836]

[@garywalker6216]

Thanks. Good video

[@MindPumpTV]

Gary Walker Thank you Gary.

[@xavieragnelli5426]

Pretty informative

[@rampagegraham3644]

Do more videos like this

[@MindPumpTV]

Thats the plan!

[@lastone87]

Totally unrelated to the awesome video and perhaps an idea for a future one: If I were to misjudge the load I can perform on a movement like an Overhead press, bench press or a squat; how can I safely bail out of the lift?

[@Bullitt1768]

OHP: Easy, bring bar back down and rack or drop forward. Bench: If you get pinned roll it down your abs or tilt bar to one side and let weights come off. Squat: Use safeties, if you get pinned in hole you just let it rest. If you don't have safeties just dump the bar. All and all though, to be safe don't misjudge the weights you attempt. Work with weights you KNOW you can hit.

[@chickensdontsurf]

Thank you for doing this video, it adds to what my physical therapist poorly explained. Is there a next step to this move? I'm trying to strengthen my back more than anything. Doing weights and deadlifts with poor posture has set me up for injury, so I'm looking for exercise ideas to help get my entire back strong, not just parts of it that the poor posture catered to.

[@MindPumpTV]

Chickens Don't Surf from here I would move to a DB Romanian DL

[@chickensdontsurf]

@@MindPumpTV Cool, thank you!

[@sti3]

I used a mop

[@shinyguy1]

Damn I feel the stretch from barely hinging down, my mobility is trash. You think long sitting on the floor will help?

[@Bluetim1]

I still don’t understand lol “unlock your knees” ??? And how do you know if you’re feeling your glutes?

[@gianmarcoconte2439]

What if i don't feel glutes anyway? Do i need to add weighs?

[@alypalicki9197]

I am not sure if I am experiencing osgood schlatters disease, knee tendinitis, bursitis, or chondromalacia patella. I have knee pain, and do have the pump under my knee cap as in osgood schlatters. I just came off a program to test my one rep maxes and have just started a more hybrid program incorporating more HIIT cardio, while still lifting heavy. Not really sure where to go from here if the knee inflammation/pain still persists, and what I can do to aide in recovery.

[@sdbrahm2294]

If hip flexors are weak, would this also affect hip hinge as it requires hip flexion?

[@senpaitm8742]

I just feel the hams with rdl when i go very low but then the lower back rounds

[@kellyduty3948]

What about lower back? I think I am over arcing my back and causing repeated lower back injuries... help

[@malikamusabaeva2518]

Thank you for this exercise. But I have a little of problem to do it: I feel more of a stretch in the back of my knee. Do you know why?

[@StrykerCell]

Would you recommend this as a primer?

[@MindPumpTV]

StrykerCell Yes.

[@Hamza-sb7er]

[@classymuffin4589]

I can't push my hips back without arching my back.

[@yeeter1164]

so avoid apt as well?

[@harshitgandotra4075]

I would appreciate if you could tell me from where I can buy this dowel or stick or rod

[@BossLevelPro]

Home improvement stores sell dowels but I used a pvc pipe. Use a broom stick even.

[@ImpulsoCreativo9322]

WHen I do this with the stick, I feel the next day like my arm is sore/stretched out/not happy from the front by my pec muscle/shoulder and goes over the shoulder and around the shoulder blade. I know it's from grabbing the stick, as I work on my hinge and squat. Any tips on how to avoid that?? I feel like it's stretching my joint capsule?? Maybe? Dont' know, but any tips appreciated!

[@buttaz3000]

Work on your shoulder mobility using a long and thin resistance band

[@CWBush73]

Good idea guy. That’s new to me. It would be good to have a partner

[@hammill444]

Well, then I guess I’m in trouble. Because I cannot hip hinge without significant pain and back spasms. I give up.
