  3. Bend your knees slightly and hinge forward at the hips, keeping your back straight.
  4. Keep your upper arm close to your body and your elbow bent at a 90-degree angle.
  5. Extend your forearm backward, straightening your arm fully.
  6. Pause for a moment, then slowly return to the starting position.
