😱 If you nail these three keys, you’ll deadlift better than ever before 😱

Hinging exercises (aka deadlifts, Romanian deadlifts, etc) can provide a TON of benefits for improving mobility, lower body strength, and power.

IF

You can perform these moves with great technique.

But if you are someone whose technique is meh and you feel all lower back and minimal torching of the glutes and hamstrings, then you might not be getting the most out of this awesome exercise.

Folks, what I’ve found is there are three keys to performing the hinge well. If you can hit these three components, there’s a good chance that you’ll:

Increase how much the glutes and hamstrings work
Improve your hip range of motion
Feel a whole lot less low back discomfort
Want to learn how? Check out the post and video below.

In this video you'll learn:

1. The biomechanics of the hinge
2. The best knee position for improving your hinge
3. How the pelvis and torso work together to load the posterior chain effectively
4. How to reduce lower back activity in the hinge
5. And more!

I really like these short videos that explain everything and you don't have to rewind. this simply needs to get more views, because it's short and clear

I don't know what's more valuable, the movement content or comedic relief. Love it Zac. Thanks for 🔥 content

Very interesting video Zac, thank you! Just recently I noticed on a video that I lift weight through the bend of my spine. Great advice, and most importantly on time!

[kevinlkeys]

Excellent explanation: this will help me protect my knees and bad back

Wow, I needed this. I do use my spine and it def screws w/my back/knees, well all over the lower body. I will really try to practice your way. Thx for the tips!

[TheChatterRoom]

I just love your content, it’s entertaining and explains everything well

[thearchitectureofhealth]

LOL loved that hinge!!! AND THE PICKUP laughed out loud

[dangriffin]

Hi Zac, for someone who arches the back on a hinge rather than bringing the chest down, are there other exercises/positions you would use to help teach them this coordinated action of torso and pelvis?

[sarahgordon]

so confused abou this move, what helped me today in shower, is doing deadlift in mini lunge, like the warrior 1 poisiton in yoga, i can hinge with one leg forward of the other then feel the good squeeze in back leg on way up but i cannot feel glutes with both legs in parallel. Why?

[hrishikeshbarman]

Great info as always ..also that tinder thing kinda made me sad

[neinbruderja]

What's good Big Z, i have a question that is rather off topic. Since reaching 60-120° would promote anterior expansion AND if we reach with trunk rotation we also create anterior expansion on the side of the reaching arm, would it make sense to always reach above 60° with the reaching arm when we perform a let's say bench supported one arm row? In which the supporting arm would be placed in a above 60° angle?

I hip hinge all day because I have horrible disc issues. The best mental trick I've found for hip hinging is to think of closing an open drawer with your buttocks. Hope that helps someone!
