Conseils techniques
It's important to keep your body upright throughout the movement. Leaning too far forward can put unnecessary strain on your lower back and shift the focus away from your lower body muscles.
Never let your front knee extend past your toes as you lower your body. This is a common mistake that can lead to knee injuries. Instead, make sure your knee is in line with your ankle.
Don't rush the movement. Lower your body in a controlled manner and then push back up to the starting position.
