Solution

Keep the neck in line with the rest of the spine throughout the movement. In other words, do not move the neck at all, if anything, slightly back.

Description

This common mistake usually occurs in exercises that involve the hip hinge. The mistake can occur at the top of the swing (standing straight), at the bottom, or throughout the exercise.

This mistake leads to a weaker posture in the upper back and can lead to neck or upper back issues.
