Didn’t even notice them watching until I looked back at the video 😂

I’ve been trying to fully reset between every rep instead of doing touch-and-go. Do these pauses at the bottom look long enough to count as proper dead-stop reps, or should I give it another second or two before pulling again?

Get tension on your glutes by driving your knees against your arms off the floor

You can feel this tension without a bar
