Instructions
Preparation
- Sit on machine with back on padded support. Place feet slightly
high on platform. Extend hips and knees. Release dock lever and
grasp handles to sides.
Execution
- Flex hips and knees to lower lever until hips are completely
flexed. Push platform by extending knees and hips. Repeat.
Comments
- Adjust safety brace and back support to accommodate near
full range of motion without forcing hips to bend at waist. Keep
knees pointed same directions as feet. Do not allow heels to
raise off of platform, pushing with both heel and forefoot. Knees
should point same direction as feet throughout movement. Placing
feet slightly high on platform emphasize Gluteus Maximus. Placing
feet slightly lower on platform emphasize Quadriceps.
