Lower the platform by bending your knees until thighs are parallel to the floor. Extend legs, driving through your heels to return to the starting position. Keep knees aligned with toes, maintain a slight bend at full extension, and brace your core to keep your glutes and back pressed into the pad.
Focus on driving through your heels to engage your glutes and ensure a powerful upward extension. Maintain a flat back throughout the exercise to protect your lower back and improve stability. Ensure your knees track directly over your toes to prevent valgus collapse and potential knee pain. Avoid fully locking your knees at the top of the movement to prevent hyperextension and maintain joint health. Keep your core braced tightly throughout the entire exercise to stabilize your spine and enhance power transfer. Keep your heels firmly planted on the pad throughout the movement to maximize glute activation and prevent ankle instability.
