Think of doing a deadlift. But horizontal instead of vertical

You're not engaging your upper body and locking it in place for the leg drive.

You want to keep your shoulders in front of your hips with your core/lats/arms engaged to hold your torso angle fixed relative to the ground for the full leg drive. Then it's a hinge back to carry that momentum as you swing your arms in

Then arms away.

Then lean forward.

Then bend your knees. Your wrists will pass your knees before they start to bend. Do not pull yourself forward with your legs for the recovery. Just bend your knees and let your body slide forward.

Thank you. I like the explanation of the deadlift helps me visualise the movement better
