- Exercise Type:
- Lower Hinge
- Contraindications:
- Lower Back Problems
- Equipment:
- Floor Based, Kettlebell
- Applicability:
- Group
- Superset?:
- Yes
- Sprint-able?:
- Yes
Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Drive the floor away on the concentric — think push, not pull.
- 2. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
- 3. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
Regression:
Reduce range of motion by using a rack pull or Romanian deadlift from blocks. Practise the hinge pattern with a dowel on the spine before loading.
Progression:
Progress to a snatch-grip or deficit variation to increase range of motion and technical demand.
Common Problems:
Losing upper-back tension mid-set — cue scapular retraction and lat activation before each rep.
