Grip handles, release the safety, and brace your core. Lower your body in a controlled arc until thighs are parallel. Drive through your heels to extend your legs, pushing the platform. Squeeze your quads at the top, avoiding knee lockout. Re-engage the safety before exiting.
Maintain a flat back against the pad to protect your lower spine and ensure proper power transfer. Ensure your knees track directly over your toes throughout the movement to prevent valgus collapse and reduce stress on your knee joints. Focus on driving through your heels to engage your glutes and maximize leg extension. Keep your chest lifted and shoulders back to promote a stable upper body and prevent rounding of the shoulders. Actively brace your core throughout the entire exercise to stabilize your spine and enhance power output.
