Step-by-step

  1. Lie face down on the machine so the pad rests just above your heels and your knees align with the edge.
  2. Grip the handles and keep your hips pressed to the pad.
  3. Squeeze your hamstrings to pull your heels toward your glutes.
  4. Squeeze at the top, then lower the weight back down under control.

Coaching tip

Don't lift your hips off the pad, curl your heels all the way toward your glutes, and control the negative.
