Instructions
Preparation
Stand between lever handles to sides. Extend leg back and place top of foot on cross bar. Squat down and grasp handles to sides.
Execution
With chest high, lift lever by extending hips and knees to full extension. Return until knee of rear leg is almost in contact with floor. Repeat. Continue with opposite leg.
Comments
Keep torso upright during squat; flexible hip flexors are important. Forward knee should point same direction as foot throughout movement. Keep foot flat on floor. Position foot slightly forward to distribute force on hip extensors. May also be referred to as Lever Bulgarian Squat.
