Bend knees forward slightly while allowing hips to bend back behind, keeping back straight and knees pointed same direction as feet. Descend until weight stack taps or comes very close from bottoming out. Keeping chest high and back straight, raise back up by extend knees and hips until legs are straight. Repeat.
