How to Use
Sit comfortably with your back against the pad and place your feet shoulder-width apart on the platform. Push the platform away by extending your legs, stopping just short of locking your knees. Slowly lower the weight until your knees reach a comfortable depth before repeating.

Avoid locking your knees at the top.
Maintain contact between your lower back and the seat.
Lower the weight under control to maximise muscle engagement.
