Place your working foot on the platform so your shin stays as vertical as possible, and brace your core to keep your hips and chest aligned.

Drive through the heel of your working foot to push the platform down and extend your hip forcefully. Keep the load on your glute and your knee tracking over your toes.

Lower yourself back to the starting position under control, and let the cable support your balance without pulling yourself up with your arm.

Tips
§ 04 · TipsMaintain a slight hip hinge and think "hips back and up" to keep the movement glute-focused. Use the cable for balance only: if your elbow bends and your torso pulls toward the cable, reduce the assistance and adjust the load.
