Execution: Set the padded bar so that it is just above your ankles and set the seat so that your butt falls into the groove of the seat. From a seated position, hook your heels over the padded bar and lower the top support onto your knees. Curl your feet down in a semicircular arc. Squeeze at the peak contraction before lowering the weight to the start position. Be sure to lift the weight until your heel touches your glutes.
