How to do Leg Extension
- Sit on the machine and adjust the back pad so your knees line up with the machine's pivot point.
- Place your shins behind the roller pad with the pad sitting just above the ankle joint, not on the foot.
- Grip the side handles, brace your core, and press your back firmly into the pad.
- Extend your knees smoothly until the legs are straight, squeezing the quads hard at the top.
- Hold the lockout for a beat, keeping the toes pulled up toward the shins for max quad engagement.
- Lower the pad slowly over 2 to 3 seconds back to the start, never letting the stack slam down.
