ASSESSMENT WEEK: DAY 4 — HIP HINGE WALL TAP
Today’s assessment is the Hip Hinge Wall Tap.
This one is simple, but really important.
It gives you a look at:
- hip hinge pattern
- glute engagement
- hamstring loading
- spinal position
- whether you can move from the hips without turning it into a squat
That matters because if you can’t hinge well, it makes a lot of strength work less effective and usually means you’re compensating somewhere else.
What to look for:
- can you push the hips back without bending into a squat?
- do you stay long through the spine?
- can you tap the wall with control?
- do you feel the hips and hamstrings doing the work?
Score yourself:
- 2 = pass
- 1 = needs work
- 0 = fail
If you have to squat down, round out, or really struggle to find the movement pattern, that tells you something.
If you do it today, drop your score below:2, 1, or 0
If you want a little more feedback, you can also DM me a video.
