A unilateral leg exercise with one foot on a raised platform and cable attachments held at both sides. Hip and knee extension lift the body over the working leg while the trailing foot stays off the platform at the top.
Place a stable platform within reach of the low cables, with the cable paths clear of the platform and your feet.
Hold a cable attachment in each hand at your sides and place the whole working foot on the platform.
Push through the working foot to extend the hip and knee, using as little push from the lower foot as possible.
Balance over the working leg without bringing the trailing foot onto the platform.
Bend the working hip and knee to lower the trailing foot under control; complete the planned repetitions before changing legs.
Choose a platform height and load that allow full-foot support and a controlled descent.
Keep the pelvis level and let the working knee follow the direction of the foot.
Count one ascent and descent as one repetition on the working leg.
Pushing mainly from the lower leg or swinging the body upward.
Bringing the trailing foot onto the platform and unloading the working leg at the top.
Letting the working knee collapse inward or dropping rapidly to the floor.
