  • @454Casull now that u said whats this nigga doin there? :)

  • This looks like it puts a lot of stress on the shoulders. I'm scared to try it...

  • she must be a fugitive, you'll probly see her on I (Almost) Got Away With it in a couple of years lmao

  • Did anybody notice the guy sitting on the stairs?

  • haha dude's face when she ducks down is priceless

  • good girl, mark taught her to go down fast when needed

  • squeezing the glutes throughout the exercise helps prevent hyper extension of the back too. It forces use of the abs to bend back at the hips.

  • @NothingEverything1 she didn't even hesitate... hahaha!

  • @Ikefis ideally yes keeping everything neutral is the best way,"putting the head through" is a good cue to stop people leaning back and putting unnecessary loads on there spinal disks and making what is an amazing deltoid exercise into an incline press !!!

  • putting the head through by trunk flexion is correct and with this the neck is neutral. I see many who tuck their chins and this is ,IMO, an unsafe technique. I guess we agree in principle
