Shift weight to the working leg, extending the non-working leg forward. Lower by bending the working leg's hip and knee until the thigh is parallel to the floor. Pause briefly, then exhale and drive through the heel to extend the leg back to the starting position. Switch legs after each set.
Maintain a proud chest and focus your gaze forward to promote a stable spine and proper posture throughout the movement. Ensure your knee aligns directly over your toes during the descent to prevent valgus collapse and maximize force production. Engage your core muscles consistently to stabilize your torso and protect your lower back from excessive strain. As you drive upwards, focus on pushing through your heel to fully extend your knee and hip, maximizing the power of your working leg. Aim to lift your non-working leg to a parallel position with the floor to maintain balance and engage your glutes for added stability.
