Instructions
Preparation
- Position shoulders under shoulder pads with back against
back pad. Place feet on platform shoulder or hip width apart.
Extend hips and knees and release lever if available.
Execution
- Bend knees forward slightly while allowing hips to bend back
behind, keeping back straight and knees pointed same direction
as feet. Descend until hips are just short of complete flexion.
Raise sled by extending knees and hips. Repeat.
Comments
- If available reengage support lever in extended position
before dismounting. 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. Also see selectorized
machine. Placing feet slightly forward on platform emphasize
Gluteus Maximus. Placing feet slightly back on platform emphasize
Quadriceps.
