HOW: Stand in front of a bench and move into a kickstand position with the toes of your kickstand leg resting comfortably on the ground. About 80% of your weight should be on your standing leg that you’re using to squat to the bench. Starting in a standing position, squat down allowing yourself to touch the bench before returning to the standing position.
FEEL: You should feel the quad of the standing leg working. You will also feel the side glute working.
COMPENSATION: Do not excessively hinge through the hips. Avoid a pelvic drop from the kickstand leg. Keep your knee in line with your toes without allowing your knee to cave in.
