The hip hinge is the foundation of strength and longevity. Modern life destroys it — weak glutes, weak hamstrings, stiff backs. And when the hinge breaks down, so does independence. People who can squat well move better, stay stronger, and remain capable longer. Pain doesn’t mean stop. It means regress. Can’t deadlift? Hip thrust. Can’t squat? Box squats, split squats, step-ups. Mastery first. Load second. That’s how joints last decades. | Unity Gym
