Pro Tip

Controlled Movement: Avoid the temptation to use momentum to lift the weight. Instead, focus on a slow, controlled movement where you lift the weight using your hamstrings and lower it back down slowly. This will ensure that your muscles are working throughout the exercise and will help to prevent injury. Avoid Hyperextension: A common mistake is hyperextending the knees at the top of the movement. This can lead to injury. Instead, keep a slight bend in your knees at all times to protect them. Mind-Muscle Connection: To get the most out of this exercise, focus on the mind-muscle connection.
