Instructions
Preparation
- Positon shoulders under shoulder pad and back on back pad. Place feet on platform. Extend hips and knees and release lever if available.
Execution
- Flex hips and knees to descend until knees are just short of complete flexion (slightly deeper than shown). Raise sled by extending knees and hips. Repeat.
Comments
- If insufficient hip flexibility forces the pelvis to pull away from the back pad at the lower portions of the movement, only lower the sled just short of spinal articulation (as shown). Keep knees pointed same directions as feet. Do not allow heels to raise off of platform, pushing with both heel and forefoot. See Lever Hack Squat on alternaive model.
