What's your entry point into activity?In the latest offering from Movementlectures.com Dr. Charlie Weingraff & Dr. Mark Cheng give an in depth look at building the hip hinge. The hip hinge is the corner stone of Dead Lifts and Hard Style Kettlebell Swings, which many will argue are key exercises for developing the posterior chain in our athletes and clients. If you have been teaching and training your clients with either of the above exercises it is necessary to know how to set up the movements and ensure they are performing correctly. This course will teach you how to be a more effective coach and deliver better verbal and non-verbal cues to your clients for these exercises.
a First you need to determine what your entry point is for clients; that is to say how do you determine where to start? I begin all my programming at TankGym with Functional Movement Screen™ (FMS) and Upper and Lower Quarter Y Balance Test™ (YBT). The FMS is designed to expose an individual’s fundamental movement impairments, and the YBT to assess balance and postural control in a dynamic way which has been shown in the sports medicine research to identify an individuals potential injury risk. An individualized Movement Corrective Exercise Program is then designed to address limitations and eliminate asymmetrical patterns. The effectiveness FMS and YBT have been proven by research and are used widely in professional sports, college and high school sports to correctly identify and categorize athletes prior to beginning training programs.
Charlie and Mark get very specific about the looking at forward flexion as it relates to setting up the hip hinge. This is the way they determine the entry point before programming the dead lift.
Strong First has a great reference article on progression of programming that outlines exercises which require the hip hinge: Excerpt below:
The hip hinge goes first. The contenders are:
- Barbell deadlift
- Barbell good morning
- Barbell clean (power, hang, muscle, etc.)
- Barbell snatch (power, hang, muscle, etc.)
- Kettlebell snatch
- Kettlebell swing
- At least 3 aspects to consider: bio-mechanical, neuromuscular, neuro developmental.
- What should come first in program design, competency or capacity? Don't know the difference?
- Neuromuscular: if individual has passive SLR but is unable to perform standing toe touch its not a tight hamstring problem.
- Neuro developmental: how we acquire local motor skills & movement as we grow.
- Dead lift: know what your doing and why your doing it. Clearly define the goal then choose the activity.
- Habituating bad patterns contributes to the problem. Is it worth the "cost of doing business? ".
- Whats your level of readiness for the chosen activity?
- Before training set a baseline, @FunctionalMvmt @YBalanceTest @move2perform, so you know how your interventions imparts change.
- How do you determine a client/athlete has "the goods" to initiate the dead lift?
- POSTERIOR WEIGHT SHIFT
- Be a really good coach.... put your clients athletes in a position to succeed .
- If you don't know why an athlete can perform in 1 posture but not another dig deeper or refer out. & if pain is on board the they need and deserve a medical evaluation like SFMA (Selective Functional Movement Assessment).
- Diaphragm & Pelvic Floor function matter if your gonna #hackthehinge correctly.
- Talk less, its what good coaches do. Let 'em learn how to struggle with basic movements then spend more time talking during skill development.
- Once you have your entry point. start. But test your drills & exercises against your baseline.
- 1 expose the limitations, 2 move the dial & do something (it has to work), 3 self limiting exercises.
- SAID Principal. ...learn it .
- Mobility first then extensibility followed by stability. Strengthening last.
- How do you develop tension in your programming?
If you are not able to address and answer the above points I would suggest you need to be able to do so before training your clients.
