Description: Suspend yourself with heels in TRX straps, knees slightly bent. Slowly advance by controlling the body's descent, gradually extending the knees, then return to the initial position, using your arms slightly if necessary.

Tips: Keep your core engaged and avoid hips sagging. Control the descent well to maximize eccentric work.

Progression: Gradually increase the duration of the eccentric phase up to 5 seconds as the exercise becomes easier.
