Instructions
Preparation
- Lie supine on platform with shoulders against pad. Place
feet slightly high on platform. Extend hips and knees. Release
dock lever and grasp handles to sides.
Execution
- Bring sled toward platform by flexing hips and knees until
knees are just short of complete flexion or until hips are completely
flexed. Return by extending knees and hips. Repeat.
Comments
- If available reengage support lever in extended position
before dismounting. Allow for full range of motion without forcing
hips to rise at waist. Keep knees pointed same directions as
feet. Do not allow heels to raise off of platform, pushing with
both heel and forefoot. Placing feet slightly high on platform
emphasize Gluteus Maximus. Placing feet slightly lower on platform
emphasize Quadriceps.
