Key Teaching Points:
- 1. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
- 2. Keep the weight close to the body throughout the full range of motion.
- 3. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.
Regression:
Use a bodyweight hip hinge against the wall — stand a foot away, push hips back until they touch, then return — to learn the pattern without load.
Progression:
Add load via barbell, trap bar, or kettlebell. Progress to a single-leg variation to increase instability and unilateral demand.
Common Problems:
Hyperextending at the top — cue rib cage down and glute squeeze rather than a backward lean.
