Muscle Group: Legs
Notes:
Lowering the weight below 90 degrees at the knee joint places the knee under considerable stress and should be avoided!
--------------------------------
Step 1
Place heels on foot platform, hip width apart and toes pointing out.
Keep butt on thigh pad and back flat against back pad.
Push foot platform forward off rack.
Turn rack handles out.
Straighten legs (knees still slightly bent).
Step 2
Slowly and under control lower the platform, keeping feet 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 knees.
