Instructions
Preparation
- Squat down to place shoulders under padded lever. Place feet shoulder width apart slightly in front of shoulders. Extend knees and hips until legs are straight. Release support lever.
Execution
- Bend knees forward slightly while allowing hips to bend back behind, keeping back straight and knees pointed same direction as feet. Descend by bending knees and hip until thighs are just past parallel to floor. Return and repeat.
Comments
- Keep head forward, back straight and feet flat on floor; equal distribution of weight through forefoot and heel. Knees should point same direction as feet throughout movement. See Squat Analysis.
