| Prepare for this exercise by grasping a bar behind your body with a grip that is slightly wider than your hips. Place your heels on a 2 to 5 inch block. Bend your knees and lower your body down until your thighs are parallel to the ground or to a level that is comfortable to you. Keep an upright posture throughout the lift. Exhale as you come up from the bottom position. This is an advanced exercise and is excellent for developing the quadriceps muscles in the front of your thigh. However, you should not perform this exercise if you have experienced knee pain in the past. |
