Starting position

How to perform it

Flex the knee by drawing the heel in the required direction, then control the return. Keep the pelvis from shifting to create extra range. Prioritize control over speed. Maintain useful tension through the range and deliberately reset the starting position before the next repetition.

Tips

Do not turn the final repetitions into fast or partial movements. Aim to load quadriceps without sacrificing position; at beginner level, progress control first and then add load, repetitions or complexity.
