How to perform

Adjust the machine so knees align with the pivot point. Sit firmly against the backrest, feet under the lever. Select appropriate weight. Grip handles for stability. Extend one leg fully, flexing your foot. Pause at full extension, contracting quads. Slowly lower the leg without letting the weight touch. Repeat as needed, then switch legs.

Tips

Align knee with pivot point. Control movements, avoid momentum. Squeeze quads at full extension. Maintain back contact with backrest. Start light, focus on form. Avoid full knee lockout. Exhale on extension, inhale on return.
