Hi all
I am new to S&S and just working my way up to 10x10 one arm swings with 16kg. I have a question about the hip hinge. Before I do my sets of swings, I stand one foot away from the wall and practice my unloaded hip hinges. It seems like there are two main different ways for me to get my a#@ back touching the wall (without bending the knees significantly):
- Simply hinging at the hips and pressing my butt back
- Doing the above combined with an anterior pelvic tilt (what an SFG coach described to me as "headlights down")
How much of the hinge and the swing movement should be this pelvic tilt? Should it lead the movement, should it be a conscious consideration, or should it just happen naturally as a result of a proper hinge?
Thank you!
