I have ask this before but I will try again. What fires first obliques or glutes

This gif is at the point in which SOME hitters decel or reverse hip rotation. To avoid injury do not try this unless you are a stud athlete!
?

try again? I gave my thoughts before, before. Core.

I don’t agree, little kids reverse rotation all the time. It just shows how well you stayed anchored. It’s a recoil.

The more I think about it, I think the obliques should lead assisted by the rear glute onto the front glute. If you lead with the rear glute the obliques usage will be slightly minimized.

Huh? That's where you think he launched his swing? Does his left leg/knee straightening mean anything to you?

thats what I was saying.

that’s not what I was referencing.

I wrote this in a PM to someone earlier today who asked a couple questions...

Yes, the obliques do get involved in "assisting", by pulling the rib cage (and thusly rear shoulder) down and around forward as they're getting pulled on by the top of the already forward turning iliac crest they're attached to at the bottom, and will contract some on their own depending on pitch (lower) location at times.

If that helps explain how the obliques actually work in the swing (or punch).

Hard to teach or do purposely. It is a recoil or reaction to keep balance while throwing the barrel.

Hip joint getting pulled open from both sides. Where is lead foot when obliques start working to rotate trunk?

agree. I wouldn’t teach reverse rotation. Either you got it or ya don’t.

Maybe you read it to fast or my grammar is not up to par. But I have the glutes assisting the obliques.

Think this is a great gif. I see obliques pulling at the pause and then glute firing or assisting.

So you're saying the obliques lead the glutes from above, and/or are pulling the glutes forward instead of vise versa? Would that not give you a "top down" swing if the obliques above "pull" on the glutes below them? Is that what you're really going for in the swing?
