Instructions
Preparation
Place back against back pad and shoulders against shoulder pads. Slightly extend knees and release clamp levers.Execution
Flex hips and knees to move downward until knees are completely flexed. Return, keep knees slightly flexed and repeat.Variations / Comments
Keep heels on platform. Let feet point in same direction as knees. Performing full range of motion stretches front thighs and causes higher training effect, especially for developing power from full flexion, but requires healthy and resilient knees.![Sled Hack Squat, Full Range of Motion | Starting Position Sled Hack Squat, Full Range of Motion Starting Position](/data/exercisefiles/44/2044.jpg)
