Vertical Traction Machine Instructions

  1. Adjust the seat height and footplate position to ensure proper alignment with your body.
  2. Sit on the machine with your back flat against the backrest and your feet securely placed on the footplate.
  3. Grasp the handles with an overhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
  4. Engage your core and push through your feet to extend your legs, straightening your knees and lifting the weight stack.
  5. Continue extending your legs until they are fully straightened, feeling a stretch in your hamstrings.
  6. Slowly bend your knees and lower the weight stack back down to the starting position, controlling the movement.

Vertical Traction Machine Tips

  1. Adjust the seat height so your feet are flat on the footrests, knees slightly bent, and your thighs parallel to the floor.
  2. Grasp the handles with an overhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, and keep your chest up.
  3. Engage your lats by pulling your shoulder blades down and back, while keeping your core tight throughout the movement.
  4. Initiate the exercise by pulling the handles down towards your thighs, focusing on squeezing your lats at the bottom of the movement.
  5. Control the weight as you return to the starting position, keeping tension on your lats throughout the entire range of motion.
  6. Start with a weight that allows you to perform 10-12 reps with proper form, gradually increasing the resistance as you get stronger.
