Instructions
Preparation
- Sit on machine with back on padded support. Place feet slightly
high on platform. Extend hips and knees. Release dock lever and
grasp handles to sides.
Execution
- Lower sled 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
- Adjust safety brace and back support to accommodate near
full range of motion without forcing hips to bend at waist. A
wide stance may allow for deeper range of motion as shown. 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. See exercise
performed on Bilateral
Leg Press.
