"Hip Hinge"

Hip hinging ... it's amazing how many human movements follow from this basic pattern. My three year old does it with no instruction, but for those of us who are old enough to have learned how not to move, these progressions will be very helpful in helping you to create a movement pattern that generates great force in the way that is structurally compatible with your DNA.

If you ever want to lift anything heavy from the ground, lower anything heavy to the ground, or drag something or someone out of - for example - a burning building or a battlefield and still be able to walk the next day, this is the basic position for your body that will enable that work to be done.
