I like this exercise, I didn't realize that space is needed between behind the knee and the bench, I will make sure that I check on that each time now. Great video

i did this for the first time ever on 110 lbs, its been 3 days and i cant walk properly now due to the pain in my thighs when i use them. is this normal for a beginner? any recommendations for when i go back to the gym to use this machine again?

I hate to criticize, but this routine was done much too fast. You get a better workout doing it at 1/2 the speed illustrated, aiming at achieving muscle failure in fewer than 12 reps. He  arbitrarily stopped at 15 reps without reaching exhaustion..

Mike, keep your head in contact with the back pad. When you sit upright the hamstrings are being stretched at both ends. In order to fully contract the quads the hamstrings have to relax.
