How to do it

- Reload the quad as the leg moves back forward, attacking the ground on the next step.
- Ensure that as you run, you block with the arms, punching through in a rapid 1-2 motion.
Form tips
- Start light and own the movement before adding weight.
- Control the lowering phase — don't drop into it.
- Keep breathing; exhale on the hardest part.
- Stop if you feel sharp pain (different from muscle burn).
