Instructions
Preparation
- Position shoulders under shoulder pad and back on back pad.
Place feet slightly high on platform. Extend hips and knees and
release dock lever if available.
Execution
- Lower lever by bending hips and knees to until knees are
just short of complete flexion. Raise sled by extending knees
and hips. Repeat.
Comments
- If insufficient hip flexibility forces pelvis to pull away
from back pad at lower portions of movement, only lower sled
just short of spinal articulation. Keep knees pointed same directions
as feet. Do not allow heels to raise off of platform. Push with
both heel and forefoot. If available reengage dock lever in extended
position before dismounting. Placing feet slightly high on platform
emphasize Gluteus Maximus. Placing feet slightly lower on platform
emphasize Quadriceps. Also see similar exercise Lever
V-Squat.
