Setup: Adjust the start position to desired depth of squat. Check the weight
stack to ensure appropriate resistance. Squat into machine placing feet near
the center of the platform, shoulder width apart. Securely position the body
against the back pad and shoulder pads and grasp handles. Position head
facing forward and against the pad during the exercise.
Performing the exercise: With a controlled motion, extend hips and
knees by generating force through the heals to a standing position. Do not
“lock” knees. Return to starting position without letting the resistance rest on
the stack. Repeat the motion, while maintaining proper body positioning.
