Setup & key ideas
Before you start

Key ideas
- Keep the head-and-arm connection while adjusting your angle.
- Bring the trapped shoulder beneath the hamstring instead of leaving it exposed.
- Set the leg connection before adding gradual finishing pressure.
Common pitfalls
- Squeezing harder while the shoulder still holds the leg connection open.
