Common Mistakes
Excessive Torso Lean
Leaning too far forward or arching the lower back excessively shifts the load from the glutes to the lower back and hamstrings, increasing the risk of lumbar spine injury and reducing glute activation. This often occurs when trying to kick the leg too high.
Insufficient Hip Extension
Not extending the leg fully behind the body limits the contraction of the gluteus maximus, reducing the effectiveness of the exercise. This often happens when the weight is too heavy or the range of motion is restricted.
Using Momentum
Swinging the leg up using momentum rather than controlled muscle contraction reduces the time under tension for the glutes and can strain the hip joint. This indicates the weight may be too heavy or the movement is too fast.
