  3. Step forward with your left leg and place your foot on the center of the of the decline bench.
  4. While maintaining your balance squat down through your hips. Keep your torso straight and head up. Don't allow your knee to track out over your toes.
  5. Push yourself back up to an upright position using your heal to drive you.
  6. Keep your foot on then bench and repeat for desired reps.
  7. Center your right foot on the bench and repeat using your right leg.

  1. Never allow your knees to track out over your toes during this movement. Doing so will place undue stress on the knee joints.
  2. Keep your head up and back straight throughout the exercise. Never allow your back to round.
