2 Important Back and Hip Hinge Exercises from Lucas Parker

ROWS

I like using these to prep for both #weightlifiting and #gymnastics.

Learning to recruit the mid-back and lats WHILE firing properly through the hips is also key for sports like #rugby and #MMA.
performance points:

1. start from a deadlift and lower down into position. This is how you access the best glute/ham synergy.
2. pull the bar to your nips, ribs, or belly button.. Not your chest/neck!
3. don’t be afraid of going light- you have a better chance of using the muscles you want!
