Exercise Types:
Lower Hinge, Upper Push
Contraindications:
Lower Back Problems
Equipment:
Dumbbell
Applicability:
Group&Focus
Superset?:
Yes
Sprint-able?:
Yes

Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Control the eccentric; feel the hamstrings load as you lower.
  2. 2. Soft knee bend throughout — this is a hip-dominant, not knee-dominant, pattern.
  3. 3. Finish with full hip extension and a deliberate glute squeeze at the top.
  4. 4. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.

Regression:

Slow the eccentric to a 4-count descent to reinforce hamstring loading and spine position before adding intensity.

Progression:

Progress to a snatch-grip or deficit variation to increase range of motion and technical demand.

Common Problems:

Rising onto the toes during the hinge — reinforce flat foot contact and hip push-back before knee bend.
