Instructions
Preparation
- Attach foot
harness to low pulley. With foot harness on one ankle, grasp
support bar with both hands and step back with other foot. Elbows
remain straight to support body. Attached foot is slightly off
floor.
Execution
- Pull cable attachment back by flexing knee until knee is
fully flexed. Return by straightening knee to original position
and repeat. Continue with opposite leg.
Comments
- Keep hip from sagging or from being pulled forward. Dorsal
flexion of ankle reduces active
insufficiency of Gastrocnemius allowing it to assist in knee
flexion. Also see Cable Bent-over
Leg Curl.
