Tips

Maintain a proud chest position throughout the movement to prevent rounding of the upper back and ensure proper engagement of the glutes. Ensure your knees track in line with your toes to avoid unnecessary stress on your joints and promote balanced muscle activation. Focus on driving through your heels during the upward phase to maximize glute engagement and power the movement. Keep your core braced and engaged to stabilize your spine and prevent lower back strain. Initiate the movement by pushing your hips back as if sitting into a chair, which helps to properly activate the glutes before bending your knees.
