Training Tip Tuesday - Why We Deadlift Before We Swing

Today’s Training Tip Tuesday is all about one of the most important (and most overlooked) movement patterns in strength training — the hip hinge.

We’ve been working through this progression at the gym with all three of my current groups — from brand new StrongHer in 42 members to my experienced, high-level powerlifters.

➡️ Kettlebell Deadlifts to build the hinge
➡️ Then into Kettlebell Swings and Power Swings to develop power and athleticism

That’s the beauty of proper programming — the fundamentals always work, no matter your level.

Whether you're just starting your lifting journey or you've been competing for years, learning to hinge properly builds stronger glutes, better posture, and more powerful movement overall.

🎥 Tap the Instagram post below for a behind-the-scenes look at our latest training sessions — featuring three classes of strong, focused women. You’ll see a mix of brand new StrongHer in 42 members (currently in Week 2) training alongside some of my most experienced, high-level powerlifters.

🎥 Want to learn how to hinge, swing, and progress to the PowerSwing

Check out this quick video above where I break it down step-by-step.
(BTW inside our WWLW App with our Strong Her in 42 Program you get coaching videos just like this for every exercise).

Whether you're new to kettlebell training or looking to fine-tune your technique, this will help you swing better, safer, and stronger.

That’s the beauty of the StrongHer in 42 program — it’s built on fundamentals that work at every level. Whether you’re just starting out or chasing competition goals, the principles stay the same: lift well, lift often, and lift with purpose.
