Exercise Profile

Bench Knee Extension Seated Assisted Overview

The bench knee extension seated assisted workout is designed to primarily engage the quadriceps.

By using the bench, the exercise isolates the quads, minimizing the involvement of other auxiliary muscles.

The seated position on the bench provides stability, allowing for controlled and targeted quad contractions.

This workout effectively strengthens the quads, helping to improve overall lower body strength and stability.
