About

Use a machine to practice single-leg hinges. Build your hamstrings, glutes, and balance.

How to V Squat Machine One Leg Deadlift

Starting Position

1. Stand on the V-squat machine with one foot on the platform.

2. Slightly lift or lightly place the other foot behind to maintain balance.

3. Hold the handles and keep your chest up.

Proper Form

1. Slightly bend the knees of your legs on the platform while pushing your hips back and leaning your upper body forward.

2. Go down until you feel a stretch in your hips and the back of your thighs.

3. Push the platform with your heels and tighten your hips to stand up.

4. After the designated number of repetitions, switch legs and repeat.

Breathing Technique

Inhale when bending your upper body, and exhale when standing up.

Precautions

1. Set the machine weight to be light enough not to lose balance.

2. To prevent the knees from moving too far forward, proceed with the feeling of folding the hips first.

3. If the back is curved, reduce the range and check your posture again.
