Ski Erg Lat Hinge Pattern
The ski erg lat hinge pattern drives power from hips and lats before the arms—reducing shoulder strain and raising watts per pull.
The ski erg lat hinge pattern loads the pull through hip flexion and lat engagement before the arms bend—similar to a Romanian deadlift feel, not an upright row. Film from the side to see if the torso stays quiet and handles travel level.
Pause pulls at the finish teach lat connection without high stroke rate.
Common questions
-
How is the lat hinge different from squatting the pull?
Hinge means hips travel back with a braced spine; squatting drops the chest and overuses quads—think lat-loaded hinge, not deep squat.
