i have a few questions about how this excercise is performed. on the ghr machine at my school, even with the foot pedals all the way as close to the pad as they get, my knees dont quite reach the pad. Can i still do them? also ive seen this done several ways, do you start with your hips bent foward, then straighten your body, then bend at the knees or just bend at the knees. Also, do you start verticle or horizontal? Since my knees dont reach the pad, once i get to verticle, will i just slip off? Also, is it possible to pull a hammie doing this, it feels that way.
