The Mind-Muscle Trick: "Pull from the Crease"
If you're not feeling it in the sweep, you're missing this internal cue.
For exercises like RDLs, Good Mornings, and Hip Thrusts, the initiation should come from a specific point.
· The Cue: Instead of thinking 'bend over,' think 'pull your hip crease back and up towards the ceiling.
· For RDLs: As you lower, visualize someone hooking a rope at your hip crease and pulling it straight back. This engages the lower glutes and hams from the start.
· For Hip Thrusts: As you drive up, think of pushing your hip crease forward, not just your pelvis up.
On your next RDL set, close your eyes for the first rep. Forget the bar. Just think: 'Pull the hip crease back.' Feel the immediate tension in the sweep zone. That's the connection.
