Squat Press
About
This machine exercise combines a squat and a press to work your entire lower body.
How to Squat Press
Starting Position
1. Sit on the machine and press your back against the pad.
2. Place your feet on the footrest shoulder-width apart.
3. Hold the handles and stabilize your waist.
Proper Form
1. Bend your knees and slowly pull the platform towards your body.
2. Once your thighs are sufficiently lowered, push the platform up with the soles of your feet.
3. Please repeat without fully locking your knees.
Breathing Technique
Breathe in as you go down, and breathe out as you push up.
Precautions
1. Engage your core to keep your lower back from lifting off the pad.
2. Adjust your foot position so that your knees do not go too far forward past your toes.
3. Prioritize a smooth and consistent speed over the weight.
