Why it matters for golf
The hinge is how a golfer sets posture and loads the hips. The squat builds the leg strength to push into the ground. Linking them teaches the body to tell the two patterns apart, which cleans up setup posture and ground force.
Coaching cues
- Hinge first. Hips back, flat back, shins vertical.
- Stand tall between patterns and reset the brace.
- In the squat, sit down between the hips with the chest up.
- Keep the whole foot planted on every rep.
Common faults
- Blurring the two patterns into one mushy middle position.
- Rounding the back on the deadlift.
- Heels lifting out of the bottom of the squat.
