How to perform

Adjust the machine so your knees align with the pivot point. Sit with your back against the backrest, placing one leg under the lever with your ankle above it. Grip the handles. Flex your knee, bringing your heel towards your glutes with control. Pause at the bottom, contracting your hamstrings. Slowly extend your leg back to the starting position, avoiding knee lockout. Repeat, then switch legs.

Tips
