Instructions
Preparation
- Adjust platform to highest position. Place extra elevation toward the end of the platform so lever fulcrum is same height as knee articulation. Adjust padded roller approximately 45° downward. Step on extra elevation facing padded roller. Place leg closest to lever over roller. Bend over at hips and grasp bar. Slightly extend hip to lower roller so knee is at same pivot point as lever.
Execution
- Pull padded roller to glutei by flexing knee. Lower padded roller until knee is straight. Repeat. Reposition roller pad lever and continue with opposite leg.
Comments
- Taller individuals may only be able to perform this exercise on a standard multihip machine. If needed, raise body slightly by raising heel so lever fulcrum is same height as knee articulation. Disregard calf as stabilizer if this is not necessary. Maintaining knee position to lever throughout exercise. Shorter individuals may find it difficult to position body high enough even with elevation.
