- 3. Feet hip-width apart, weight balanced over mid-foot throughout.
Regression:
Slow the eccentric to a 4-count descent to reinforce hamstring loading and spine position before adding intensity.
Progression:
Add load via barbell, trap bar, or kettlebell. Progress to a single-leg variation to increase instability and unilateral demand.
Common Problems:
Hyperextending at the top — cue rib cage down and glute squeeze rather than a backward lean.
