I've been doing a lot of kick sets and trying hard to make sure that I use my glutes/hips to kick. One interesting method I read online is to imagine you are holding a coin between the buttocks while kicking. My question is this. I'm feeling some fatigue in the quadriceps while doing this, even though I'm sure I'm initiating the kick from the hips. I'm wondering if this is normal to some extent or a sign that I am not relaxing my lower leg enough on the down kick (i.e. I'm keeping it too extended). Should I be trying harder for that whip action where the lower leg lags behind the thighs on the way down (so it is completely relaxed) and locks on the way up? Thanks.

Backstroke kick works hamstrings and glutes more than free, does it not?

Season 5, Episode 19 King of the Hill: Hank's Back Story
While preparing for the big lawn mower races in Durndle, Hank experiences back trouble. When he goes to the doctor, he is told that he has a genetic disorder called Diminished Gluteal Syndrome (DGS), meaning that he has such a small rear end that it puts added stress on his spine. The doctor gives Hank a prosthetic butt to wear, but the shame of it is too much until Peggy gets him to go to a DGS support meeting.
if anything I lost my posterior since getting back into swimming. I can slip out of my jeans without unbuttoning or unzipping them now. My wife likes to tease me that my butt is now to small for my body! :D
