Form cues
- Band under both feet, handles at shoulders
- Press straight up; resist the pull on the way down
- Core braced so the band doesn't arch your back
Common errors
- ✗ Grip too wide/loose so the band slips
- ✗ Bending backward as fatigue builds
How Kalyra programs it

Typically 2–4 sets of 10–15 reps.
