How to do it
Stand under the shoulder pads with the balls of your feet on the edge of the platform.
Straighten your knees and stand tall to lift the weight.
Lower your heels slowly below the platform until you feel a deep stretch.
Push through the balls of your feet to rise as high as you can.
Pause at the top, then lower again under control.
Tips

- Keep your knees straight but not forcefully locked.
Common mistakes
