How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 01Loop a strong resistance band securely around a light barbell and anchor both band ends overhead so the bar hangs level above a clear mat.
  2. 02Lie face up beneath the bar, place both feet evenly against it with bent knees, brace your trunk, and press with both legs to establish a stable start.
  3. 03Keep one foot pressing the bar steady while lowering the other knee toward your chest under control.
  4. 04Press the lowered foot back into the level bar until the leg is nearly straight without hard knee lockout or pelvic movement.
  5. 05Stabilize the suspended bar, switch sides, and continue alternating only while the anchor, bar path, and trunk position remain controlled.
