Common mistakes

  • You kick for height with momentum, letting the back round at the top of each swing.

  • You lean and hinge the torso to exaggerate the swing instead of moving only from the hip.

  • You bend the swinging knee so much the hamstring never gets lengthened.

What to focus on

  • Keep the torso tall and quiet — the swing lives entirely in the hip joint.

  • Let the swing height build gradually across the set instead of starting at maximum.
