What is Hip Hinge?
Bending at the hips while keeping the back flat to load the posterior chain.
In context
Hip Hinge is a key concept in biomechanics. Bending at the hips while keeping the back flat to load the posterior chain. Knowing what it means — and how it connects to the rest of your training — turns it from jargon into something you can actually use in the gym.
Nishaana is built around ideas like this: it tracks the numbers behind them automatically, so the theory shows up as real progress in your logbook rather than staying abstract.
