Common mistakes
You round the spine at the bottom to buy extra range the hamstrings have not earned.
You drop into the hinge with momentum and bounce back up instead of controlling both directions.
You push off the floor or thighs with your hands to stand the torso back up.
You hold your breath through the reps.
What to focus on
Treat a small flat-back range as a full rep — control is the strength stimulus.
Feel the hamstrings and inner thighs doing the pulling on the way up, not the lower back.
Exhale into the hinge, inhale on the rise, and keep the tempo unhurried.
