Tips

Focus on driving through your mid-foot to generate power and avoid putting excessive stress on your knees. Maintain an upright chest position throughout the movement to engage your core and promote proper spinal alignment. Ensure your knees track in line with your toes to prevent valgus collapse and maximize stability. Explode upward with force, fully extending your hips and knees at the top of the movement. Brace your core tightly before each repetition to stabilize your spine and protect your lower back.
