Instructions
Preparation
- Lie supine on platform with shoulders against pad. Place
feet high up on platform. Extend hips and knees. Release dock
levers.
Execution
- Lower sled by flex hips and knees until hips are completely
flexed. Raise sled by extending knees and hips. Repeat.
Comments
- If available 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.
