LEG PRESS

Start: Sit in a leg press machine and place your right foot in the middle of the platform, keeping the left foot flat on the floor for stability. Unhook the safety stoppers and support the weight with your right leg.

MOVE: Slowly lower the weight, bringing your right knee toward your chest but stopping when your knee is at a 90 degree angle. Pause a moment before pressing through your heel to return the weight to the start position at full leg extension but without locking out at the knee. Perform the desired number of reps then repeat on the left leg.

Adjust the machine so that you only need to extend your legs slightly to be able to release the weights. Adjust the safety pins so that they catch the weight if you are unable to lift it. Place your feet on the platform, about shoulder-width apart. Inhale and lower the weight by bending your legs. Lower the weight as deep as possible without rounding your back and while keeping your glutes on the seat. Press the weight back up again as you exhale.

Sit on the Leg Press Machine and firmly place your feet shoulder width apart on the platform. Unlock the racking system that holds the sliding sled in place. Slowly lower down by flexing the legs, keeping the knees from pointing inward and your hells secure as you press. Lower down until you start to feel you butt start to come off of the seat. Firmly press evenly upward until the legs straighten.
