Leg Extension (OP-LE)
Muscles Used: Quadriceps
Setup: Adjust the back pad to align the knee joint with the machine pivot (axis of rotation). Adjust the
lower leg pad to a comfortable position above the ankle. Check the weight stack to ensure
appropriate resistance. Grip the handles located on the sides of the seat. Position body with
chest up and with shoulders back and against the back pad.
Movement:
Rotate the thighs so the knees are pointing upwards. With a controlled motion extend the
legs to nearly full extension without locking out knees. Return the legs to the start position
without letting the resistance rest on the stack. Repeat the motion while maintaining proper
body positioning.
