Master The Hip Hinge: The foundation for kettlebell swings, deadlifts, cleans, and more.
Whether you're a personal trainer wanting to get a deeper understanding of the hip hinge and be able to explain it properly to your clients, or whether you're wanting to start swinging a kettlebell, deadlift weights or perform bent-over rows, this book is for you.
The hip hinge is a fundamental movement in exercise. It is vital because knowing and performing it correctly will prevent injury and will allow you to work a large portion of the posterior chain muscles with one movement. Also, a lot of important exercises—such as the kettlebell swing, the traditional deadlift, bent-over row and many more—depend on this movement.
This book will cover every intricate detail of the hip hinge movement, explained and broken down in such a way that everyone can understand it; it's basic but at the same time advanced.

"Throughout my life I have attended many courses and workshops, from most I walked away thinking to myself that if they just changed the wording slightly, presented things differently, and did not assume everyone would know what they were talking about, then a lot more people would have benefited from the information provided.

About the author
Taco Fleur
68 books2 followersMy name is Taco Fleur, and I'm a Russian Girevoy Sport Institute Kettlebell Coach, IKFF Certified Kettlebell Trainer, Kettlebell Level 1 + 2 Trainer, Kettlebell Science and Application, HardstyleFit Kettlebell Level 1 Instructor, CrossFit Level 1 Trainer, CrossFit Judges Certificate, CrossFit Programming Certificate, MMA Conditioning Level 1, MMA Fitness Level 1 + 2, Punchfit Trainer and Plyometrics Trainer Certified, with a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Owner of Cavemantraining, author of over 10 kettlebell books, courses, and certifications. Author on BoxRox and featured in 4 issues of the Iron Man magazine. I have owned and set-up 3 functional kettlebell gyms in Australia and Vietnam, and lived in the Netherlands, Australia, Vietnam and Thailand. I’m currently living in Italy where we will spend some time and then move on to Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, and so on. If you’re going to be in Italy La Spezia area this year come and look me up for a workout!
The first thing I'd like you to know about me is that I do not know everything, I don't pretend to know everything, and I never will. I'm on a path of life-long learning. I believe there is always something to learn from someone, no matter who they are. I've been physically active since the day I arrived on this earth in 1973. I got serious about training in 1999, touched a kettlebell for the first time in 2004, and got serious about kettlebell training in 2009. I'm here to do what I love most, and that is to share my knowledge with the world.
Some of my personal bests are 400 burpees performed within one hour; 500 kettlebell snatches, 500 swings, and 500 double-unders completed in one session; 250 alternating dead clean and presses in one session with 20kg; 200 pull-ups in one session; 200 unbroken kettlebell swings with a 28kg; most kettlebell swings completed in one session with a 28kg (1,501); most total kettlebell swings done in 28 days with a 28kg (11,111); windmill with a 40kg kettlebell; lugged a kettlebell up a 3,479m mountain; 160kg dead lift; 100 snatches on sand with a 24kg kettlebell; 85kg Olympic Squat Snatch; 300 unbroken clean and jerk with 20kg kettlebell; 10 minute unbroken clean and jerk 79 reps with 2 x 16kg kettlebells; 1 hour unbroken clean and jerk with 16kg; 532 unbroken snatches and achieved rank 2 in kettlebell sport. I mention these PBs not to boast but to demonstrate that I have a good understanding of technique and movement across different areas.
My own training and goals are geared around GPP (General Physical Preparedness) which involves kettlebell training, calisthenics, and CrossFit. I like high-volume reps but also like greasing the groove now and again. My main goals are to remains as agile as possible, remaining mobile, training in as many planes of movements as possible, and learning as many different exercise combinations and movements as possible while having fun and enjoying Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I'm no Arnold Schwarzenegger and never will be, but strength is not solely defined by physical appearance and huge bulging muscles.
You can read more about my training, philosophy, and other ramblings on our website, www.cavemantraining.com, and YouTube channel, YouTube.com/Cavemantraining, which as of this writing has over 40,500 subscribers and more than 7 million views.
