How to do it
- Kneel on a pad with your ankles anchored under a bar or held by a partner, body straight from knees to head.
- Squeeze your glutes and keep your hips extended.
- Lower your torso towards the floor as slowly as you can, resisting with your hamstrings.
- Catch yourself with your hands, then push off the floor and use your hamstrings to come back up.
Watch out: Folding at the hips instead of keeping a straight line from knees to head.
