Kelly's Weekly Coach's Lab – Improving Hip Hinge Function

Welcome to the Weekly Coach's Lab. Grab a bar, set your feet.

This week we looked at improving hip hinge function for multi-rep movements. A few good ideas to keep in mind when you're staring down the barrel of some deadlifts. Try these out with your athletes and report back.

This is sweet! A weekly 5+ minute video of Kelly coaching a class would be too good!

[LukeJonesMOVE]

Great stuff man! Some super useful things to have a play around with in today's session. Looking forward to seeing more of these! 🙌🏻

Awesome videos! I'm learning a lot.

Great stuff. As coaches we are always warned about flexion in the DL. BUT mostly what I see is extension issues. This extends to the catch in the clean and snatch as well. Now you've added speed/explosion to that and lumbar goes to hell in a hand basket.

Thank you thank you ...just the person I was looking for...awesome stuff!!

I would actually love it if he could make these videos longer and focus on the explanations a bit more. I only got what the problem looked like in the last 30 sec of the video...

Okay, now do a video for dummies so I can follow along... Do you think the band exercise is beneficial for someone who resets after every rep, or is it geared more for someone who maintains contact with the bar throughout?

Kelly the Can you post somthing about back pain while deep squating?

[Krnkid]

Laughed when u said "xiphoid process". Like, bruh, just say sternum. Not many people what a xiphoid process is

Super informative video regardless
