Bodyweight Poliquin Step
A single-leg knee bend on a slant board, the heels higher than the toes, the free leg reaching forward to the floor; the slant lets the knee travel far over the toes.
How to do it
Setup
Standing on one leg on a slant board, the heel on the high side, hands on the hips, the other leg in front.
Steps
- Bend the standing knee forward over the toes.
- Reach the free foot down to the floor in front.
- Straighten the knee to stand tall again; switch legs after the set.
Common mistakes
Knee drifting inward on the slope: keep it over the middle toes. Going deep on the first rep: work into the range over several sets. Rushing the way down: lower slowly and under control.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale up.
