The movement

  1. 1Fasten the belt around your hips and stand on the platforms.
  2. 2Squat down as far as is comfortable, holding the handles lightly for balance.
  3. 3Stand back up by driving through your heels.

Watch out for

The belt should sit on the bony part of your hips. On the soft waist it will pinch.

First time doing this

3 sets·10-12 reps

No history for this one yet. Start lighter than you think you need — you should finish every set feeling like you had four or five more reps in you. You can always add weight next session; a strain costs you weeks.

Set the pin low for your first set and add from there. Nothing is lost by starting too light on day one.
