“My back hurts when I hinge”. ⁣
⁣
-I reckon I’ve heard this 10,000 times in a commercial gym, and most of the time it’s due to the same issues. Individuals either forcing range of motion, or excessively extending their lower back, usually due to them staring at the mirror In front of them, please stop doing this 👀

-God damn I’ve seen some coaches let clients get away with some awful hinging technique, and while it may not be painful instantly, do it for 12 months and tell me how your back feels. ⁣
⁣
-“Shoulder blades back and down” needs to die. If you stand up right now, and force your shoulder blades into your back pocket, notice how the chest comes up? Also notice the tension in your lower back? So let’s not do that. ⁣

-Make these few small changes you’ve watched in the reel, and feel for the difference, I guarantee you it’ll have you moving stronger and safer over time. Hopefully this will help even one person move a little better. Thanks for watching 🙏
