Bending your knees slightly is acceptable but too much can sacrifice the benefits to your back muscles. Step 3: Return to the starting position. Be sure to keep your back straight the entire time, and take two seconds to stand. This counts as one repetition. Step 4: Try to do three sets of 12 repetitions, making modifications as needed.
