Description

A variation of the standard squat performed using a lever machine. This exercise primarily targets the quadriceps, glutes and hamstrings.

How to Do Lever Seated Wide Squat

1
Setup
Adjust the lever machine's seat and foot platform to comfortably accommodate your height, ensuring your knees are aligned with the machine's pivot point.
2
Setup
Sit down with your back firmly against the back pad, place your feet wide on the platform, toes slightly pointed out, and position your shoulders securely under the padded levers.
3
Setup
Release the safety mechanism, allowing the resistance to rest on your shoulders, and brace your core, maintaining a neutral spine throughout.
4
Inhale and slowly lower your hips by bending your knees and pushing them outwards, keeping your torso upright until your thighs are parallel to the platform or slightly below.
5
Exhale and drive powerfully through your heels and the midfoot to push back up, extending your hips and knees to return to the starting position.
6
Fully extend your hips and knees without locking them out at the top, maintaining constant tension in your lower body before initiating the next repetition.

Tips

Maintain an upright torso throughout the movement to keep the tension on your glutes and quadriceps, preventing excessive strain on your lower back.
Focus on driving through your heels and the outer edges of your feet to maximize activation of your glutes and outer thigh muscles.
Control the eccentric (lowering) phase, taking 2-3 seconds to descend, which enhances muscle growth and improves stability through the movement.
Ensure your knees consistently track over your toes to protect your knee joints and optimize muscle engagement in the quadriceps and glutes.

Common Mistakes

×Rounding the lower back during the descent places undue stress on the spine; fix this by engaging your core and maintaining a neutral, slightly arched lower back.
×Allowing knees to cave inward (valgus collapse) reduces glute activation and increases knee injury risk; fix this by actively pushing your knees out, aligning them with your toes.
×Not going deep enough limits the range of motion and overall muscle activation; fix this by ensuring your thighs reach at least parallel to the floor, if your mobility allows.
