form is 80% of the issue in most cases...most are unaware of what small adjustments can make on the weight.
hipwork can include many things...staples of hipwork are adductor and abductor exercises (you know..the machines in the girl section of the gym), after those, you can do pullthroughs, kettle ball swings, GM's, GHR's (Glut-Ham-Raises), 45º hypers, all of which hit the posterior core, hips included although not directly.
Most folks think you need big quads to squat, but squats take quads, hams, hips, back(lower), abs. You need a strong core and strong posterior as well as strong legs. And good form. You will see most folks, in this thread even, listed leg exercises as advice, while they are all good exercises, they are all incomplete as none address your posterior core, abs, or hips. ;-)
