Equipment:
Floor Based, High Bands
Applicability:
Focus
Superset?:
No
Sprint-able?:

Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Soft knee bend throughout — this is a hip-dominant, not knee-dominant, pattern.
  2. 2. Scapulae retracted and depressed before the pull begins.
  3. 3. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.

Regression:

Slow the eccentric to a 4-count descent to reinforce hamstring loading and spine position before adding intensity.

Progression:

Introduce a pause at the bottom for 2 seconds to eliminate elastic rebound and increase time under tension.

Common Problems:

Rising onto the toes during the hinge — reinforce flat foot contact and hip push-back before knee bend.
