Description: |
- Sit down on the machine and place your legs on the platform, adopting a shoulder width foot stance.
- Lower the safety bars holding the weighted platform in place and press the platform all the way up until your legs are almost fully extended in front of you.
- Tip: Avoid locking your knees.
- As you inhale, slowly lower the platform until your upper and lower legs make a ~90-degree angle.
- Pushing mainly with the heels of your feet and using the quadriceps go back to the starting position as you exhale.
- Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions and remember to lock the safety pins properly once you are done. You do not want that platform falling on you fully loaded.
