Alternating Plate Loaded Leg Extension (Machine)

Also known as: Alternating Plate Loaded Leg Extension (Machine).

Alternating leg extensions using two independent plate-loaded lever arms.

How to perform this exercise

1. Adjust a real independent-arm plate-loaded leg-extension machine so each knee aligns with its pivot and each lower shin rests behind its own pad just above the ankle. Sit with back and thighs supported, hold both side grips and begin with both knees bent.
2. Extend one knee while the other lever remains down; lower that side fully under control before extending the opposite knee. Keep the pelvis and back on their pads and record repetitions per leg.
