Then subject was asked to lean forward by using the hamstring muscles by extending while trying to resist the forward fall, he should lean forward from the knee and not from the hip. The only time one can put his hands in front of him is when he can't rely on his legs and then push himself back to starting position and them repeat the procedure again.
