Muscle Group: Legs
Notes:
Lowering the weight below 90 degrees at the knee joint places the knee under considerable stress and should be avoided!
Ensure hips remain level at all times!
--------------------------------
Step 1
Place feet hip width apart on foot platform.
Drop non-working leg to a relaxed position.
Keep butt on thigh pad and back flat against back pad.
Push foot platform forward off rack.
Turn rack handles out.
Straighten leg (knee still slightly bent).
Step 2
Slowly and under control lower the platform, keeping the foot flat.
Lower so that a 90 degree angle is achieved at the knee joint.
When angle is achieved, push forward on foot platform.
Avoid forcefully locking out knee.
