Muscle outlines from Body Muscles by Ivan Vulović, Apache 2.0 — regrouped and recoloured for Muscle Train.
Push hips back, bend knees to lower body, keeping your torso upright and elbows high. Lower until thighs are parallel to the ground. Drive through your heels to extend hips and knees, returning to a standing position. Squeeze glutes at the top while maintaining a stable back.
To protect your shoulders, keep your elbows high throughout the movement, preventing them from flaring out to the sides. Maintain an upright chest position to engage your core and prevent rounding of the upper back, which will help stabilize your spine. Ensure your knees track directly over your toes to avoid unnecessary stress on your joints and promote balanced muscle activation. Actively brace your core muscles as if preparing for a punch to stabilize your spine and improve power transfer. Focus on driving through your heels to engage your glutes and hamstrings effectively, ensuring a full range of motion and maximizing muscle activation.
