Instructions
Begin by standing with your back against the pad of the squat support machine with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Position yourself so that when you squat down, your knees are bent at a 90-degree angle.
Cross your arms over your chest or extend them straight out in front of you for balance.
Slowly lower your body by bending your knees and pushing your hips back as if sitting down in a chair. Keep your back straight and against the support pad.
Continue to lower yourself until your thighs are parallel with the ground. Ensure your knees do not move past your toes.
Pause briefly at the bottom of the movement.
Push through your heels and extend your legs to return to the starting position.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
Please note to always prioritize good form over the amount of weight used to minimize the risk of injury.
