How to perform Leverage Machine Squat with proper form

Setup

Adjust the Machine: Set the seat height and foot platform to match your body size. Your knees should align with the pivot point when seated.
Foot Position: Place your feet shoulder-width apart on the platform. You can adjust the position for targeting different muscle groups (higher for glutes, lower for quads).

Sit Down: Sit with your back firmly against the pad and ensure your shoulders are under the shoulder pads.
Engage Core: Brace your core to maintain stability throughout the movement.

Grip Handles: Hold onto the machine handles for balance.
Lowering Phase: Slowly bend your knees and lower your body, keeping your back straight and chest up. Go down until your thighs are parallel to the floor or slightly below.
Knees Alignment: Make sure your knees do not travel past your toes to avoid strain.
Ascending Phase: Push through your heels to return to the starting position, engaging your leg muscles. Ensure your back maintains contact with the pad.

Breathing: Inhale while lowering your body, and exhale while pushing back up.
Posture: Keep your back neutral and avoid rounding your shoulders.
Concentration: Focus on controlled movements rather than speed.

Weight Check: Ensure the machine is properly loaded with appropriate weights to prevent injury.
Spotter: If necessary, have a spotter to assist during heavy lifts.

By following these guidelines, you can safely and effectively perform the Leverage Machine Squat for optimal results.
