Technik-Tipps
To get the most out of this exercise, use a full range of motion. This means squatting down until your thighs are parallel to the floor and then thrusting up until your arms are fully extended above your head. Half-reps will not provide the same level of muscle engagement.
Avoid fast, jerky movements. Instead, perform each rep with a controlled, steady motion. This will help target the muscles more effectively and reduce the risk of injury.
Select a band with a resistance level that is challenging but still allows you to perform the exercise with correct form.
