Where you should feel it, the one cue to remember, and quick fixes when you feel it somewhere else.

A burn on the side or top of the glutes.

Key cue (the coach says it during the set)“Slow, hips still, squeeze at the end.”

Tempo · Out 1 s · hold 1 · back 2 s

Choosing the load: Pick a weight you finish with 1–2 good reps left. 4+ left = too light; form breaks = too heavy.

Feel it in Lower backRotating or arching to get range. Make the movement smaller and keep the pelvis square.
Feel it in Front of hipsFront of the hip taking over. Turn the toes slightly down and lead with the heel.
Barely felt itToo light or too fast. Lower for 3 seconds, pause 1 second at the stretch, and pick a load that leaves only 1–2 reps in the tank.
Joint painSharp or joint pain is a stop sign: end this set, lower the weight, shorten the range — if it repeats, switch to an easier variation.

During a workout we ask after the first set where you felt it and give the fix right away — and remember it for next time.
