⚠️ Most common mistake: Placing the front foot too close to the bench, which forces the knee to push past the toes uncomfortably. Letting the front knee cave in at the bottom, which strains the knee and shifts work off the glute. Leaning forward over the front leg, loading the lower back instead of the working leg. Pushing off the back foot for help, which removes the single-leg challenge from the rep.

💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Glutes.
