Tips

To maintain proper posture, focus on keeping your chest up and avoiding excessive forward lean throughout the movement. Ensure your knees track directly over your toes during the lowering and extending phases to prevent ankle or knee strain. Actively push through your front heel to engage your glutes and quads effectively, promoting a powerful upward drive. Engage your core muscles by drawing your belly button towards your spine to stabilize your torso and protect your lower back. Distribute your weight evenly between both feet to avoid overcompensating and maintain balance throughout the exercise.
