![[HINGE VS. SQUAT]
🙏🏼This was a really great post I want to reiterate to my clients and people with general issues with the concepts of the differences between the two movements!
👇🏼
Collaborative post with @themvmtpts. 🇨🇦
•
The hinge(deadlift) and squat are two leg dominant patterns that are often used in training or incorporated in rehab. They both require different setups as well as mechanics. This means that different muscle groups will be worked more or less depending on the movement you are utilizing.
•
The hinge requires a more horizontal torso with less knee flexion to start. It is a more hip dominant movement with greater muscle activation of the glutes and hamstrings. From a clinical standpoint, the hinge is a great exercise to help dissociate between the hips and lower back and introduce hip dominant movement when someone is experiencing knee pain. The greater the knee flexion angle, the more knee extension moment the hinge will have. For example, the sumo deadlift utilizes more quadriceps than conventional deadlift because you have to flex the knees more during the movement.
•
The squat requires a more vertical torso and has greater knee flexion at the bottom position. The movement starts with breaking at the knees instead of the hips in a normal squat. They recruit more quadriceps than the hinge movement as expected. Why is the squat important clinically? It is very specific to things we do in everyday life whether it is getting up from a chair, jumping, etc. It provides a strong base of strength for all of those activities
•
In our opinions, leg day is incomplete unless you're incorporating both and getting the best of both worlds. There are so many different ways to manipulate these two movmements, they should be a staple in your training and your rehab. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment. Which one do you prefer more, the hinge or the squat?

I have brought Todd on to give me treatment 2x per week to address my past injuries, current limitations and prevent future injuries. The treatment includes instrument assisted scraping, cupping, myofascial release and various strengthening and mobility work. He has also programmed daily tissue activation routines to address what I need before taking big weights. I am starting to feel like myself again and am excited to get healthier through the work with Todd, even at 39 years old.

Rio Grande Track and Field
My senior year of track I developed complications with my sciatic nerve and it had a big effect on my running. Todd helped me rehab; successfully getting me healthy in time for the most important time of my season. He was my athletic trainer for volleyball, basketball, and track. Throughout the years he helped me and my teammates have healthy and successful seasons. Without his knowledge and care as an Athletic Trainer, I probably would not have been able to complete at the collegiate level today. I currently run track at the University of Rio Grande and even today I continue to utilize the stretches, lifts, and rehabbing Todd showed me my senior year of high school. He is not only a great Athletic Trainer but also a great mentor and role model to those around him.
Mike Diamond
Powerlifter
I had first come to Todd when I was visiting Old School Gym and he had been kind enough to work with me on a nagging glute issue stemming from a powerlifting meet a few months prior. I had sought out Chiropractic help, Massage therapy and even some self-care via YouTube. I couldn't seem to get it cleared up or figure out the exact source of the issue. When I explained this to Todd he knew exactly what it was. Within 5 minutes he had worked on my piriformis and the issue vanished almost immediately. Todd is by far the person I trust most to go to with any injury that I may encounter, he has helped me with glute issues, elbow issues and a handful of others via his content. He can point you straight to the problem and show you exactly how to fix it.
Brooks Holloway
Powerlifter
I developed a sharp pain in my glute about a month out from the IVB Push/Pull powerlifting meet. Todd helped me relieve a lot of that pain through mobility work and get me back on track. I was able to compete using a conventional stance in my deadlift, which was a first for me and set a new competition PR. I am now pushing toward a 500 pull and 500 squat after just turning 35 years of age and feeling stronger than ever thanks to guys like Todd.
