Whenever I try to hip drive properly, I end up having my nipples facing the ground by the time my legs are extended, and it hurts my back to stand up straight.
How do I avoid this, /fit/??

Sounds like you're confusing "hips" for "leg".
It's not "leg drive" (straighten the knees) it's "hip drive" (straighten the hips).
Use your glutes.

>and it hurts my back to stand up straight.
then fix your back

But when I do that, my hip joint pulls my torso up and my chest comes up. Then my weight pulls forward, which is what all of Mark's videos say not to do.

What >>36397443 said, lockout with the glutes.
Cue: think you're fucking the air in front of you.

What? No, you understood wrong. Source of claims?

You are confusing hip drahve with hip lift. You thrust your hips forward straightening your legs and back at the same time not just lifting your ass up.

In that video, it doesn't look like he's pushing his hips forward at all. It seems like he's just lifting his hips upward.

No. Don't make up your own shit.
This thread is relevant to my interests.
The ambiguity over hip drive causes like 40% of my squats to turn into good mornings.
Any sources to help clear this up?

This is a good cue t.b.h. f.a.m.

Not OP, but now I finally know why my squats were shit. Thanks, Anon.
The squat is literally the only exercise in the entire repertoire of weighted human movement
that allows the direct training of the complex movement pattern known as hip drive - the active recruitment of the muscles of the posterior chain. The term posterior chain refers to the muscles that produce hip extension - the straightening out of the hip joint from its flexed (or bent) position in the bottom of the squat. These muscle groups - also referred to as the hip extensors - are the hamstrings, the glutes, and the adductors (groin muscles). Because these important muscles contribute to jumping, pulling, pushing, and anything else involving the lower body, we want them strong. The best way to get them strong is to squat, and if you are to squat correctly, you must use hip drive, which is best thought of as a shoving-up of the sacral area of the lower back, the area right
above your butt. Every time you use this motion to propel yourself out of the bottom of the squat,
you train the muscles in the posterior chain.

"Point your nipples at the floor" is one of Rip's favorite cues. Back off the weight until you can do it right.

The problem is this cue easily translates into doing a good morning. All the info seems contradictory.
Hep drave = j/k it's your glutes
horizontal back = j/k back angle doesn't change
draaaave hep = up, forward, topside but NEVER forward, except that one forward part
