The Cybex Plate Loaded Squat Press provides true variable
resistance exercise for the lower body in a compact
plate-loaded format. The rotary mechanism allows a natural arc
movement to be performed by the combined hip and knee
motions and the four bar linkage serves to maintain the correct
ankle position throughout the range of motion. The joint
positioning throughout the path provides a favorable knee/toe
relationship reducing any detrimental forces to the knee.
Instructions
1. Load appropriate resistance evenly.
2. Locate feet securely on the footplate and lift.
3. Lift the carriage and pushdown on the rear
handles to release the carriage stop.
4. Grip the forward handles lightly.
5. Lift/lower the resistance with smooth, controlled movements while maintaining the hips
and shoulders against the back pad. DO NOT HYPEREXTEND (“LOCK OUT”) KNEES.
6. With the carriage in the up position, pull the rear handles up and lower the carriage onto
the
support.
