Step-by-step instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 03Keep one foot pressing the bar steady while lowering the other knee toward your chest under control.
- 04Press the lowered foot back into the level bar until the leg is nearly straight without hard knee lockout or pelvic movement.
- 05Stabilize the suspended bar, switch sides, and continue alternating only while the anchor, bar path, and trunk position remain controlled.
