Benefits:

This exercise is designed to increase strength in the quadriceps.

Movement:

This exercise involves a seated knee extension movement under load. Sit in a “tall” body position with feet in harnesses. Choose a lighter weight to start. Grab the handles to the sides of the seat and firmly pull down so that the glutes never come off the seat. Once the pelvis and upper body are fixed, perform knee extension movements with one leg, only switch legs when “X” amount of reps have been achieved.

Movement:

While maintaining total body alignment, shift your weight onto one leg. Hold a DB on the same side of the leg performing the reps. Raise the heal off the floor by Plantar flexing onto your toes and hold. Lower slowly and repeat.
