In a totally different scenario than you describe, I use hip hinging extensively with a very specific population; older adults who have such crippling osteoarthritis that most squat derivatives are painful. Always unloaded and with a braced posture, we are able to train legs in the successful zone with floor bridges and standing hinges. Yes, partial squats are preferable and assisted lunges are my first choice, but not always an option with this group sometimes and the hinge serves as a alternative. <br />Phillip Bazzini Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09355298190402106826noreply@blogger.com
