@Cookie_ - Leg Driver KB variation.

I tried to do a super light weight for a visual of the positions- this is both a hinge (from the hip) and a squat (change of the hip/back angle with a bend of the knees and descending pelvis).

Notes:

- Focus on the two separate movements. The hinge is a hinge, the squat is a squat, the swing (generated by power through the opening of the hip at the end range of the hinge) should make the KB weightless
- Fight to prioritize your spine/hip and back angle and keep the head in a neutral positon (looking at the video, I realize I look slightly up out of the bottom of the swing, which is natural, but a good idea of what the wrong form looks like). If you had a softball ball under your chin, at no time should you drop the softball.
- Tight, tight, tight through the core at all times. Any time you move weight away from your centerline, things get wonky, so a constant brace is needed.

I used 80 freedom units in the second part, I usually do sets of 10-20 with 80/88lbs depending on my intended cardiovascular load/effort.

Have fun!
My workouts are 70% kb based but I’ve never seen these, will try them today to see if I have the coordination to pull it off. Looks like a great exercise.
