Proper Exercise Technique
Tie a band around a machine at knee level. Loop the band around your knee and position your foot at a distance from the machine to where the knee is being pulled slightly forward by the band. Contract the muscles in the quads against the pull of the band. This should focus primarily on the Vastus Medialis and promote a healthy knee joint.
Mainly a rehab exercise especially beneficial to powerlifters that use gear that shelters the inside of the knee leading to muscular imbalances.
