Instructions

- 2Have a partner check that both knee angles allow full extension into the drive.
- 3Adjust block spacing if the hips sit too high (piked) or too low (front-loaded).

A set position that balances power in both legs at the gun.
Common mistake
Hips too high or too low, robbing one leg of its drive angle.
