Hip Dominant Movements

Not all hip dominant movements are created equal.

The hip joint angle at which torque is maximal during a deadlift variation is not the same as when performing a back extension (AKA hyperextension), reverse hyper, or low cable pull-through. Therefore, each will have its purpose in developing a training program.

Especially in the case of improving high-level performance in athletes, proper exercise selection is essential to address weak points in performance.

Assuming you can identify the weakpoints in the first place. :)

Is this the right place to ask you questions about training? Or is there some site that you do a Q&A at? Your work is incredible and I thought I'd try and pick your big brain! :)

Thanks for thinking!
