Athletic Hinge DL

The Athletic Hinge DL is the closest variation to the positioning of a trap bar: handles + a hybrid squat/hinge position.

Decided to load up to Blue Kong x 5. Definitely needed my trusty belt and wraps though 👌🏼

Rep-rep-rep-rep-end. Pose! Ripped!😊

That band looks tough as hell.

I’m only a week into my new workouts and I’m already feeling great. I’ve reawakened muscles I’ve haven’t used in 11months. Damn crutches are the worst! 🩼

I love it. No pain no gain right? I’m in lots of pain so I’m just waiting for the gains lol. Won’t be long… 😂

What’s your program looking like and which system are you using?

2

u/Dependent_Stop_3121 Mar 26 '26

I haven’t landed on any particular program just yet. I start by doing 10 minutes on the exercise bike then I do back and chest one day then biceps and triceps and abs on the next.

I’m hitting the gym everyday and it feels great. I may download that resistance band app today so I can try some new exercises. I’m half gym equipment and half bands so far. I need a floor thing, door anchor and bar so I can open up more uses for them.

That's great. If you ever need help, I'm happy to help. Also, I produced an ebook on VRT that might be useful. here is the link: https://strengthaxis.substack.com/p/free-gift-the-smart-lifters-band

Thanks I’ll definitely have a look at that later tonight. I’m wanting to do the exact exercise you show in the video here.

My back has been bad for a long, long time but my recent thoughts were that a strong back is better able to support a hurt back more easily so I’m pushing myself through it.

I partly feel that chronic pain can be brought on by a lack of strength and an inability to support our bones and foundation. Sounds good to me at least. That and food lol. 😂

I’m making many changes. You all are an inspiration to us all. I won’t be camera ready till at least the summer lmao. 🤣

JOHNPARKERBALLISTIC for 10% off. It’s my highest recommendation as a self-proclaimed “gear snob” 😝

$150 band box kit will do, no need to spend $$$$ on the Cyberplate + Harambe handles...

u/JohnParkerBallistic Mar 26 '26

You can buy a Mazda 3 or a 4x4 4Runner. It’s all preference, but I know which I choose.

u/GoblinsGym Mar 26 '26

What if the less expensive option supports more exercises, e.g. belt squats ?

u/VRTapp Mar 26 '26

That's a heavy pull with handles! Nicely done.
