Position your legs shoulder width apart or slightly greater
Feet position can be in either area with feet slightly pointed outwards:
High up on the platform = more glute focus
Lower on the platorm = more quad focus
Middle = fairly equal combination of both
BRACE YOUR CORE — This is important on this exercise to protect your lower back.
Push weight up, release the handles on both sides and bring weight down until you feel a good contraction or just BEFORE your lower back starts to round, which ever is first.
DO NOT FULLY LOCK YOUR KNEES AT THE TOP
DO NOT LET YOUR KNEES CAVE TOWARDS EACH OTHER ON THE WAY DOWN — THIS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS LIGAMENT DAMAGE
Tips:
It is very important on this lift to pay attention to your form so you do not risk injuring yourself. As long as you listen to the last 3 instructions, it is very safe!
