The #1 movement pattern you’re probably not training enough ⤵️⁠
⁠
You’ve heard me say it before… Hip. Extension.⁠
⁠
❌ We’re not talking about standing up from a squat.⁠ ⁠
⁠
✅ We’re talking about the real deal: knee behind glute, trailing-leg-during-a-sprint kind of extension.⁠ ⁠
⁠
Why does this matter? Because if your training isn’t exposing you to more end-range hip extension, you’re leaving both performance and durability on the table.⁠
⁠
I break it down in a recent feature for sportsillustrated, pointing out how most strength programs over-index on squats and deadlifts without ever truly loading the positions athletes need on the field.⁠
⁠
True hip extension is essential for sprinting, acceleration, and injury resilience. ⁠
⁠
And it’s not about adding more volume. It’s about training smarter.⁠
⁠
🧠 Think: suitcase holds during lunges, split-stance isometrics, overhead presses in a lunge. Small changes. Big impact.⁠
⁠
At the very least, every athlete should leave your gym having gotten their daily dose of hip extension.⁠
⁠
📣 Coaches, athletes, weekend warriors: if you want to move better and last longer, this one’s for you.⁠
⁠
Comment TRIAL to start your free trial of Mobility Coach and start your love affair with all things hip extension, exploring daily mobility drills designed to support this exact position.⁠
