Instructions
Preparation
- Sit on sled with back of hips against back pad. Place feet
on platform shoulder width or slightly wider. Extend hips and
knees. Release dock lever(s).
Execution
- Lower sled by flex hips and knees until either is near complete
flexion. Raise sled by extending knees and hips. Repeat.
Comments
- 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, pushing
with both heel and forefoot. Placing feet slightly high on platform
emphasize Gluteus Maximus. Placing feet slightly lower on platform
emphasize Quadriceps.
