Sets: 3–5 · Reps: 5–10

Bodyweight hip hinge is a regression of Romanian Deadlift. Use the written card above for its exact setup and execution.

Long range: Long range means the target muscle is challenged as it reaches a longer position.

WHY IT EARNS A SPOT

Own the position,
then earn the load.

The hips travel backward as the hamstrings lengthen across the hip. The exercise rewards controlled range instead of chasing the floor.
