How to do it

  1. 1

    Stand with your back against a wall, feet a little forward and about hip-width apart.

  2. 2

    Slide down until your knees bend to a comfortable depth, then breathe normally.

  3. 3

    Hold your back on the wall with your heels down.

  4. 4

    Press through both feet to stand before your legs begin to shake.

Where you should feel it: The fronts of your thighs.

What your coach says mid-set

  • “Back flat against the wall”
  • “Heels stay down the whole hold”
  • “Press through both feet evenly”

Common mistakes

Sliding lower than you can hold

Slide up the wall a little and hold at a depth that feels comfortable.
