Tips

Maintain an upright chest to engage your core and prevent rounding of the back, which will improve stability and power. Focus on driving through your heel to ensure you're utilizing your glutes and hamstrings effectively for a strong upward push. Actively control any wobbles by engaging your core and stabilizing your shoulders, preventing unnecessary movement and injury. Keep your eyes focused on a fixed point ahead to maintain balance and proper spinal alignment throughout the exercise.
