We have found getting the hip hinge correct so useful for clients with knee pain. Client have found it so useful not only inside the gym, but outside the gym too.
HOW TO HIP HINGE CORRECTLY?
Step 1: Before any movement occurs, stay tight and create lots of full body tension. This will ensure you to load the spring as you descend. Getting tight is referred as irradiation (in the RKC) and is a combination of breathing and flexing all of your muscles tight as hell.
Step 2: Slide the hips back and turn your "side ass" on by spreading the floor and pushing your knees out.
Step 3: Keep your torso upright and stay tall. Your goal is to remain tight in the core and move the weight with your hips and hamstrings; not your lower back, which happens when you lose position and fall forward in the hole.
