90% of a lineman’s force starts with this ⬇️
The Hip Hinge and why it matters
✅ Hip extension drives every punch, drive step, and anchor set
✅ A poor hinge shifts force to your knees and lower back, killing explosion and raising injury risk
✅ Clean hinge mechanics let you load hamstrings and glutes like springs, then fire through defenders
My three go-tos for hinge power
✅ Slow-eccentric RDLs to grow max strength and bulletproof hamstrings
✅ Kettlebell swings to train rapid hip extension for game-speed pop
✅ Band pull-throughs to groove the pattern and light up your glutes without spinal load
In the video I break down how to find your hinge, step by step, and show how to slot it into a warm-up so young athletes start every session patterning it the right way. Master this move and watch your drive, balance, and pass-pro anchor jump.
