HIP HINGE TO SQUAT

This is a motor patterning exercise to help train maintaining a neutral spine during a squat or deadlift. Place a heavy kettlebell at arms length in front of you. Hinge forwards at the hips while holding a neutral spine until your hands touch the handle of the kettlebell. Grip onto the handle and transition into a deep squat position without breaking out of neutral spine. Extend both the knee and hip to return to standing position and repeat as necessary.
