 Hey everyone, this is Lance Coyke. Today we're gonna talk about one of my favorite, just I guess jokes about deadlifting. This is the cue of Bring the Hips. The premise is once I clear the knee after I pick a bar up off the ground, I need to stand up by bringing my butt forward. I bring my hips forward to stand up instead of trying to pick the bar up with my back. As such. This is kind of a joke because it was it was like a cue that I realized my friend and mentor and co-worker Grant Gartis was using over and over and over again and he would just we would get in this this zone of coaching a bunch of different Olympic weightlifting techniques and movements and everything and all of that really starts with the deadlift and he so he's missing a few fingers, right? He's missing these fingers on his right hand and we would just see him making these circles. Bring the hips. Bring the hips and so that's our joke now. You gotta if you're in a deadlift you gotta bring the hips and I ain't got no patience if you ain't bringing the hips. Okay, so the idea here is bring the hips is the cue, right? So if I am getting a good position, then I need to drive the right motion. I need to drive the hips forward. I need to initiate with the hip extensors to turn this into a leg exercise, not a back exercise. So think about it that way instead of trying to cue yourself to pick a bar up. Think about pushing through your legs and bringing your hips forward.
