Maintaining a straight back, bend down with your legs while leaning forward, and grab each handle by your side with fully extended arms so that the cables are next to your midfoot.
Exhale and push through your feet while extending your legs to begin lifting the cables while maintaining a flat back.
After the cable passes your knees, drive through your hips while continuing to extend your legs until you are standing fully upright with your torso in line with the rest of your body. Do not lean further back than this.
Inhale and begin to lower the cable by bending your legs and lowering your torso while focusing on maintaining a flat back above all else.
Returning to the starting position, rest the cables in the bottom position for 1 second before beginning your next rep.
