Starting and Ending Positions
Muscle exercised: Primarily the quadriceps. Secondarily the gluteus and
hamstrings.
Setup: Pull the knob to adjust the start position. Your knees should be bent at about
a 90 degree angle to start. Select the desired weight.
Performing the exercise: Place your feet on the plate and grip the handles. Keep
your knees lined up over your feet and slowly straighten so that your knees are just
slightly bent. Do not lock your knees. Use about a three count to straighten your
legs. Hold the extreme position for a brief moment. Slowly lower back down using
a six count.
Variations: A narrow stance will place more emphasis on the adductors. A wide
stance will place more emphasis on the hip flexors and abductors.
