The human knee extension to target is a scaled version that allows you to precisely coordinate your range of motion and slowly increase it towards the full range over time. Working in your best range of motion will build strength in the knees and quads effectively over time.
Cues:
- Squeeze the glutes and posture tall to lengthen the spine
- Keep the hips open and extend the spine as you lean back
- Use an appropriate target that allows you to complete your reps as prescribed and with the highest quality
Errors:
- Low back pain – increase target height and double efforts to posture tall throughout movement
- Allowing the hips to close at any time
