체크포인트

• -Shins are close to vertical at the top of the rep.
• -Finish comes from the glutes, not from arching the lower back.
• -Chin stays tucked with ribs down at lockout.
• -Hips move straight up and down without sliding along the bench.

흔한 실수

• -Placing the feet too far forward and turning it into a hamstring bridge.
• -Hyperextending the spine to fake extra height.
• -Rushing reps and skipping the top squeeze.
• -Letting the bench slide; anchor it against a wall or rack.
