Before you start
Set up the movement.
- 01
Place one kettlebell centered between the feet.
- 02
Stand close enough that the load can travel vertically.
- 03
Reduce the range by raising the kettlebell if a long spine cannot be maintained.
One useful cue
Keep the first rep repeatable.
Push the hips back, keep the spine long and stand by driving the floor away.
Training use
Purpose before prescription.
Use a controlled hinge to build posterior-chain strength without chasing a maximum load.
Practice an unloaded hip hinge with hands sliding down the thighs.
