Back to swing basics: The Hinge.36 kg swings 5x5,40kg 5x5,44kg 6 x5 BW squats 8x8, pullaparts 3 x 3

 Man this fix is as big for my swing technique  as not losing visual contact on the X is for my press! Just  going back to THE most basic component of swing technique: the pure hinge

As I taught for years and just like a WSB power squat the knees don't move forwards at all- the hips just push back

It was SO much better! so much easier, stronger faster with better bell height with less effort and way less back involvement

Looking at  my recent videos NOW I can see the bell trajectory was DOWN and back, using my legs( quads) as the driver. No wonder I had no hip snap I HAVEN'T BEEN USING MY HIPS!

Started off easyjust too see. Kept the same shoes,foot width everything else. Just pretended my legs were embedded in sand up to my knees

Just sit back

Just an arched back good morning louie style

Best height I've had with the 40 or 44 in forever

36 kg x 5


AXE style 8 x 5( thought it was  the 40 actually)

40 x 5 x 5

44 x 5 x 6

32 x 5 x 2





right  arm was nearly as good as left
On Wed for light day I'll do 24 kg x 5 x 5/5

BW squats seemed perfect

168.8
