Purpose of Exercise: To develop the lower
area of the thigh.
Execution:
Depending on the design of the Machine you use, either hook
your shoulders under the padded bars or take hold of the handles.
Your feet should be together, toes pointed slightly out. Press
downward with your legs and lift the mechanism, stopping when
your legs are fully extended. This keeps constant tension
on the legs. Bend your knees and lower yourself all the way
down. Your legs should be bent at more of an angle than when
you do Squats. In all your repetitions, keep working this
lower range of motion by going all the way down. On some of
your last repetitions lower yourself at normal level but as
you press back up, arch your back and bring your hips away
from the machine without locking your legs out. This will
emphasize the separation between the leg biceps and the quadriceps.
