Thanks, Jen. The queue of pushing backward, rather than up, is very helpful.

It's how you get the most out of leg Drive.!!

[@DannyGautama]

Ma’am, you are an inspiration.❤️💯

[@gaurighodekar275]

Hip engagement should be done when bar start descending from start position Or when bar starts moving upwards from the chest ?
I understand that hip should be engaged throughout the movement but when to take that actual leg drive that I want to know.

[@132poundsofpower]

Right when the bar is coming off of your chest

I see you're wearing an A7 BarGrip tank with special adhesive on the back. I have the same one in the same color. I think you should tell your audience members sometime about this option in case they don't know of it.

Do you normally relax your hips in between reps or was that just to showcase the difference in what it does?

[@132poundsofpower]

I relax just a bit in between lifts. Just not enough to lose my set up.

[@JillMurphyBeanerz88]

I can't get my feet flat enough on the floor to actually push with my heels. Is there a secret to it? (Thanks)

[@132poundsofpower]

That is usually do to a lack on mobility and arch. Check out this video and let me know if it helps. ua-cam.com/video/QG7Ol_nrHmY/v-deo.html
