Here’s the truth: the “standard” assessment tests? They rarely tell you what you actually need to know when someone picks up a kettlebell.

I stopped relying on them years ago because I needed a better way to understand real movement under load.

That’s what this live session is all about. I’ll walk you through my step-by-step hinge assessment system—and show you how it looks in real life by coaching through an actual case study.

The Framework

Step 1: Set Up:
How to assess the joint-by-joint alignment and prep before the first rep.

Step 2: Execution:
Distinguish between yielding (force absorption) vs overcoming (force production) to understand movement quality.

Step 3: Technique:
Spot and correct exercise-specific breakdowns in the kettlebell swing.

Note: Each step includes easy-to-use assessments and quick fixes that coaches can apply right away.

What You’ll Learn Inside the 60 Minutes

Step 1: Set Up – Use a joint-by-joint approach to spot breakdowns before the first rep.
Step 2: Execution – Learn to see yielding (force absorption) vs overcoming (force production)—and why both matter.
Step 3: Technique – Spot and fix the most common kettlebell swing issues on the spot.

Don’t just hear me teach it…. watch it all in real time.

I'M IN, SAVE MY SPOT!

This system actually works where it matters most—on the gym floor.

The assessments are quick and easy to fold into a normal session, they give you sharper coaching insights right away, and your clients will feel the difference as soon as you apply them. Whether you’re working with athletes chasing performance or everyday movers who just want to feel better, this framework adapts to the person in front of you.

This workshop is designed for movement professionals who:

Coach kettlebell swings and other hinge-based lifts

Want a reliable way to assess movement under load

Need a system they can trust and repeat in every session
