  1. Adjust the shoulder rack of the machine so that your feet comfortably reach the crosspiece with a slight bend in your knees.
  2. To begin, press your feet forward and release the safety locks.
  3. Slowly lower the weight towards your body, keeping your abs drawn in and your knees moving in the same direction as your feet to a 90 degree angle.
  4. Do not lock your knees or bounce the weight.

Use a controlled range of motion and a load you can manage. Stop if a movement causes pain. Ask a qualified coach for help with unfamiliar exercises.
