In terms of movement specificity, the hip hinge and broad jump position are one and the same as the mechanics for both, particularly at the hip joint, are identical. That's because a broad jump requires setting the hips as far back as possible with maximal hip flexion and soft knees in order to achieve maximal hip extension on the jumping/concentric phase. For anyone who's ever performed a broad jump, this cue is truly the quick and dirty fix for improving hip hinge mechanics within seconds. – Joel Seedman
