Machine Primary: Hamstrings Secondary: Lats, Upper Back, Lower Back, Glutes

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Set the bar at mid-thigh height and add your weight.
  • Stand close to the bar, almost pressing your thighs against it. Your feet should be hip-width apart.
  • Grab the bar with an overhand grip - palms facing back. Have your hands roughly shoulder-width apart.
  • Unrack the bar and stand tall.
  • Bring your shoulders back, engage your abs, and breathe in.
  • Slowly lower the bar by leaning your torso forward and pushing your buttocks back. You should feel tension at the back of your thighs.
  • Lean forward until your torso is almost parallel to the floor and drive your hips forward to stand up, exhaling at the top.
  • Breathe in on the way down and repeat.
