Instructions
1. Begin by adjusting the lever belt squat machine to suit your height and adding the appropriate weight plates.
2. Step onto the platform, and fasten the belt around your waist. The belt should be snug, but not overly tight.
3. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, your toes pointing slightly outward.
4. Grasp the handles in front of you for balance and stability.
5. Initiate the movement by breaking at the hips and knees, sitting back and down into a squat position. Keep your back straight and your head facing forward.
6. Descend until your thighs are at least parallel to the floor, making sure your knees track over your toes.
7. Push through your heels to extend your hips and knees, returning to a standing position.
8. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.
Ensure that your stance is balanced, and your movements are controlled throughout the exercise. Adjust the weight according to your current strength levels, aiming for progressive overload to increase muscle strength and size over time.
