  1. nice work, lol. Hike. Swing, Park, is it's true name. Should have insisted on calling it that. A great drill

  2. Thank you Mark! I had heard you were creator of the Hike Swing Park.... I have been using the "HSP" to get back the hinge in my swing, as well as "playing chicken with the bell" after the float. For some reason things got a bit off technique wise on my swing and doing the "one rep swings" with the HSP I have always found to be a really good drill. It is also challenging enough if you stay tight after parking the bell and stay down in the start position, never letting your hands leave the bell. I have also found that doing "Hike Swing Snatches" in the same manner is really outstanding, particularly with a heavier bell, for reps of 3-5 per arm, then rest. I tend to maintain better power and better lockouts that way. A very underrated movement I think.
