Movement media
Accessible movement summary
Adjust the seat so the knee aligns with the machine pivot and the lower pad sits above the ankle. Sit fully against the back pad, secure the thigh position, and hold the handles lightly. Extend the knees smoothly until the legs are straight without snapping into lockout. Pause briefly, then lower under control to the deepest comfortable bend.
Key cue: Lift with the quadriceps.
