2. 02Extend until the hip is fully open, roughly 15 to 25 degrees behind the body.

4. 04Return under control until the knee travels slightly in front of the standing leg.

체크포인트

• -The movement comes from the hip, not from arching the lower back.
• -Pelvis stays square to the machine on every rep.
• -Knee of the working leg stays nearly straight throughout.
• -The standing leg holds a soft knee and quiet, stable foot.

흔한 실수

• -Arching the lumbar spine to fake extra range.
• -Swinging the leg with momentum instead of squeezing the glute.
• -Rotating the pelvis open as the leg travels back.
• -Using so much weight that the torso lurches on each rep.
