Open in the app⚠️ Most common mistake: Bending at the knees and squatting down instead of hinging at the hips — turns the move into a half-squat. Rounding the lower back as you hinge, which puts load on the spine instead of the hamstrings. Going too low and losing the hamstring stretch — stop where the stretch is strongest, not where the floor is. Standing on too narrow a band section, making the resistance uneven and twisting the bar path.
💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Hamstrings.
