Common mistakes
You lean the torso out over the front leg instead of staying stacked over the hips.
You let the front knee drift inward past the big-toe side of the foot.
You tense the shoulders and let the back arm droop while the front arm does all the reaching.
What to focus on
Keep the shoulders directly above the hips — the work should burn in the front thigh, not pull at the waist.
Press into the outer edge of the back foot so both legs share the load.
Reach through both fingertips with equal energy, as if being pulled in two directions.
