Tips
- Focus on the 'rock' or shift in weight from your heel to the ball of your foot. - Squeeze your calves at the top of each lift and control the descent back down. - Maintain a tall spine and do not slouch as you perform the movement. - Keep the motion slow and controlled; avoid bouncing your heels to use momentum.
