Banded Terminal Knee Extension

Quadriceps · Bands

How to do it

  1. Anchor a resistance band at knee height and loop it behind one knee, facing the anchor.
  2. Step back until there is light tension in the band, staggering your feet for balance.
  3. Start with the working knee slightly bent.
  4. Push the knee straight against the band, squeezing the quad hard for one to two seconds at full extension.
  5. Slowly bend the knee back to the start, controlling the band the whole way.
  6. Complete all reps, then switch legs.
