Hinge Mastery Course

The hip hinge is one of the most misunderstood movement patterns in strength training, and small technique errors compound into back pain, plateaued lifts, or missed performance gains. Hinge Mastery is a course from strength and conditioning coach William Wayland that breaks the hip hinge down into a system coaches and lifters can actually use, covering variations like the Romanian deadlift with a focus on carryover to real training and sport.

The course is built for coaches who want a reliable way to teach the hinge and for athletes or lifters who want to fix their own pattern. It is approved by the NSCA for continuing education credit, so certified coaches can complete it toward their own professional requirements while learning a framework built around technique quality, hypertrophy, and protecting the hamstrings and glutes from injury.
