How to do it

Setup. Loop the band around a post. Standing a little ways away, loop the opposite end around the neck. Your hands can help hold the band in position.

1. Begin by bending at the hips, getting your butt back as far as possible. Keep your back flat and bend forward to about 90 degrees. Your knees should be only slightly bent.
2. Return to the starting position be driving through with the hips to come back to a standing position.

Cues

• Face away, band between the legs.
• Hips back, flat back to 90 degrees.
• Snap the hips forward to stand.
• Squeeze the glutes at the top.

Common mistakes

• Pulling with the arms.
• Rounding the back to reach.

Where to start

A starting point, not a law. Pick a weight you could lift two or three more times than the top of the range. Tempo is seconds down, pause, up. When every set hits the top of the range, add a little weight.
