Dear Peter: Resistance Training Movement Pattern Compendium
A client of mine is in the process of becoming self-sufficient and self-directed in his resistance training. This is a great place to be! I try to help clients through this process so they can exit personal training / strength coaching with the skills necessary to do smart and consistent strength development under their own steam. In a way, a block of coaching sessions is a learning experience, and you come out the end of it with knowledge - in addition to improved strength and fitness.
Hip Hinge-ing and Kettlebell Swing-ing
I think it is great for everyone to learn “hip hinge-ing”. This is where you learn to separate out flexion/extension (bending/straightening) of the spine from flexion/extension of the hip.
