How to do it

  1. 1Load the machine and stand on the platform with your back and shoulders set firmly against the pads.
  2. 2Place your feet about shoulder-width apart, low enough that your heels stay flat at the bottom.
  3. 3Release the safety and bend your knees to lower yourself slowly along the machine's arc, as deep as you can control.
  4. 4Keep your knees tracking over your toes and your whole foot pressing into the platform.
  5. 5Push back up to standing without locking the knees hard, and re-engage the safety before stepping out.
