About

Use the leverage machine to safely add weight to your squats

How to Leverage Squat

Starting Position

1. Enter the machine and secure your shoulders on the shoulder pads.

2. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, and turn your toes outward at about a 20-30 degree angle.

3. Hold the handles and keep your chest open while looking straight ahead.

Proper Form

1. Please bend your knees while pushing your hips back, starting from the hip joint.

2. Sit down until your thighs are close to parallel with the floor.

3. Push off the floor with the entire sole of your foot to stand up.

4. Please repeat until your knees and hip joints extend simultaneously to return to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

Breathe in while going down, and breathe out while coming up.

Precautions

1. Please keep your chest up to prevent your back from rounding.

2. Please adjust so that your knees do not go too far past your toes.

3. Rather than lifting excessive weight, please focus first on performing the movement correctly.
