The hand assisted human knee extension is a scaled version that allows you to approach your best range of motion using the power of negatives. By working only the negative with high quality you will build the strength towards completing this movement with progressively larger ranges of motion.
Cues:
- Squeeze the glutes and posture tall to initiate the movement
- Lean back and reach with the hands to receive the ground
- Support with your hands into your best pain free range
- Sit up by closing the hip angle and return to start position to begin a new rep
Errors:
- Low back pain – increase hand support and reduce range of motion
