How to do it

Setup

Back to a low pulley, rope between the legs, a step or two out; hinge with a flat back.

Steps

  1. Let the rope pull the hips back into a deep hinge.
  2. Drive the hips forward to stand tall, squeezing the glutes.
  3. Keep the arms passive ropes.

Common mistakes

Pulling with the arms: they only hold; the HIPS move the stack. Squatting: knees soft, hips travel back. Overextending at the top: stand tall, no lean back.

Breathing

Inhale hinging back, exhale driving through.
