How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 01Set up face down on the GHD with the feet secured, knees bent, hips flexed, and torso nearly parallel to the floor.
  2. 02Brace your trunk and keep the torso at the same angle as you begin extending the knees.
  3. 03Lengthen the body forward under control until the knees approach extension and the body forms a long straight line.
  4. 04Contract the hamstrings to bend the knees and pull the body back toward the compact starting position.
  5. 05Keep the hips and spine stable, use only a range you can reverse without momentum, and stop before control is lost.
