Coaching cues
- Band anchored under the feet; hold the other end like a deadlift
- Hinge at the hip — push hips back; band increases tension at lockout
- Neutral spine throughout; bar close to the legs
- Drive hips forward; squeeze glutes at the top against the band
Common faults 2
Hyperextension at lockout
