5. At the bottom, only go low enough where your lower back is still against the back pad.
6. Drive from heels to extend legs and don't lock out the knees fully at the top. We ain't tryna blow a knee.

CUES
- Back Pinned Against the Pad
- Knees Track Out

Leg Press

GOAL
You got back problems? Hip problems? Knee problems? Well I got 99 problems and unilateral movements will solve 98 of them. Only you can fix the problem of not wearing all black. 

DETAILS
1. Start standing in your deadlift set up you religiously memorized. It's pretty much exactly like a deadlift, except one leg is flying in the air like a ballet dancer. 
2. With the weight in front of you, begin by reaching one leg back into the air as you hinge at your hip. 
3. #DJKhaled's major key is to not rotate the hips up, rather keep the hips level. Think there's a glass of water on your lower back, you best not spill it.
4. Keep the knee pushing out, even though I know you're biting your lip just trying not to fall over. 
5. Same principles as the deadlift, keep weight close, chin tucked, hinge at the hip with a flat back.

- Flat Back
- Push Hips Back
- Keep Hips Facing Straight Forward
- Balance Bitch
