⚠️ Most common mistake: Pushing off the trailing leg instead of driving through the working leg on top of the box. Choosing a box that's too tall, which forces a hip-shift and removes tension from the quads. Letting the torso fold forward under the bar, which turns the lift into a heavy good morning. Stepping down hard from the box, which beats up the joints and breaks position between reps.
💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Quadriceps. The Glutes assist.
