Yes close enough.

I watched the video again. The promotion of just turning the body with the legs just cracks me up. How many gated rotations can someone make before they realize they are promoting a dead torso? I needed a laugh like that.
Very true, dead torso.

With all due respect AmBeRn1l, I think I've done more than my fair share of spreading decent information. My point here was sincere ... the information on rotating a dead torso was horrible ... and it doesn't matter if they "tried to help", it was still bad information ... and to suggest otherwise is simply ignorance or dishonesty.
Learning to hinge is comical? When a person uses "legs" it means pelvis, usually. It's his earlier work but still good info. I get the part where he lunges forward is extreme. No big deal. That is an introduction to Jerry Brewers video library on pretty much anything. I get where you guys can nitpick his videos but I'm still trying to figure out if the lead shoulder "snaps" or is pulled? Talk about nitpick right? So why learn to hinge? We've always talked about getting into an "athletic position" and it doesn't matter the sport basketball, baseball, fastpitch, wrestling, and so on. Hip hinge is just that! An Athletic position..why? Because it is our strongest position. Am I wrong? Or is Brewer wrong? Learning how to hinge is crucial to a swing and it's EASY to learn.The info on bending/flexing at the hips was good, but the rest of it is pretty comical.

Next would be to learn how to get yourself into a single leg rdl...this is where lots of young kids have trouble stabilizing the back pelvis, knee, and or ankle. And that's where this pic comes into play. It takes care of the weight transfer by itself. There's no need of too much instruction once the rdl is learned.

ambern11, I'm just trying to make it as easy as I can without saying "pull this, lean this way, snap that". My bad if it doesn't make sense in the 1 video. It's a video library that i recommend to most. He can get very detailed with some stuff. Most instructors have different verbiage but for the most part they mean the same crap. DFP and Twitter is a good example.FfS, with all respect, I'd love to hear your helpful insight
