Form tips

  1. This will be difficult (or impossible) to execute if your ankle flexibility is too limited. If that's the case, you can still perform the exercise by placing your heels on a slightly raised surface (like a weight plate) or standing on a slope, with your toes down the slope. In parallel, try to work on your Ankle dorsiflexion .
