Many coaches and trainers over-cue posterior pelvic tilt with excessive shortening in the glutes, especially during hip extension. Unfortunately, this has lead to a very common yet highly problematic form of dysfunctional movement and postural aberration at the top, extended position of the hinge or deadlift movement where the individual loses all traces of postural neutrality and spinal rigidity. Essentially these individuals produce kyphotic posture, shoulder rounding, forward heat tilt, and significant spinal flexion at the top of hinge and deadlift movements. Although this is frequently performed with the goal of producing as much tension in the glutes as possible, such a dysfunctional position is highly undesirable and quite detrimental as this represents the same general postural alignment witnessed on elderly individuals. Ironically, the hip hinge is one of the most beneficial movements there is for improving spinal mechanics and postural alignment, provided it's performed correctly. – Joel Seedman
