Tips

To protect your lower back, actively engage your core muscles throughout the exercise, drawing your belly button towards your spine. Squeeze your glutes firmly at the top of the movement to maximize glute activation and stabilize your hips. Maintain a neutral neck position by looking straight ahead to avoid strain. Focus on lifting through your back muscles, rather than relying solely on momentum, to build strength. Control the descent back to the starting position to prevent injury and ensure consistent muscle engagement.
