How to do it

Setup

Facing away from the anchor, set one foot behind you in the cradle; the front foot stands far enough forward that the knee stays over the ankle.

Steps

  1. Lower straight down with the torso upright.
  2. Let the rear knee travel toward the floor.
  3. Stop when the front thigh is about parallel.
  4. Drive up through the front heel.

Common mistakes

Front foot too close to the anchor: the knee runs past the toes; step it further forward. Pushing off the back leg: the front leg does the work. Hips twisting toward the strap: keep them square.

Breathing

Inhale down, exhale on the way up.
