How to do it

Single-leg hinge with the Smith bar that lets you practice balance and hip control with a guided path.

Form. Load the standing leg, send your hips back and use the other leg as a counterweight without opening the pelvis.

Common mistake. Turning it into a squat, rotating the hip, or losing the long spine.
