Muscles Exercised: Quadriceps, Hamstrings, Glutes
Setup: Position the pulleys at a low position with the handles at the abdominal region when standing.
Squat below bar and begin with the bar across the back of shoulders and knees bent so thighs are
parallel to the floor. Feet should be shoulder-width apart and grip should be wider than shoulder-width.
Keep chest out and back straight. Do not arch back.
Performing the Exercise: Begin with the handles at chest level and arms spread apart and elbows
slightly bent. With a controlled motion, squeeze the handles together in front of the body until handles
nearly touch at waist height. Slowly return to the beginning position.
Note: Before starting any exercise or after completing any height adjustment of the carriage
assembly, verify that the pull pin is fully engaged prior to use.
