Instructions
Preparation
- Lie on declined back pad with hips under weighted sled. Place
both feet on platform. Raise weight by extending hips and knees.
Place foot down off of foot platform. Release dock levers and
grasp handles to sides.
Execution
- Lower sled by flexing leg until knees are just short of complete
flexion or just before hips raise up from pad. Push weight up
by extending knee and hip. Repeat and continue with opposite
leg.
Comments
- Reengage support lever in extended position before dismounting.
Flexible
hip flexion is required for fuller range of motion through
knee. Lower weight just short of hips leaving back support. Keep
knees pointed same directions as feet. Do not allow heel to raise
off of platform, pushing with both heel and forefoot, or center
of foot if platform is shorter than length of feet.
