Leg Press

Strengthen your lower body using this powerful machine-based lift.

The leg press provides focused resistance across the lower body while minimizing strain on the spine. It’s an excellent tool for muscle development, especially for users working around injuries or learning squat mechanics.

Instructions

  1. Sit down on the machine and place your feet on the platform shoulder-width apart.
  2. Release the safety pins and press the platform upward until your legs are extended, but not locked out.
  3. Slowly lower the platform until your knees are at a 90-degree angle.
  4. Push through your heels to return to the start position.
  5. Repeat for your desired number of repetitions and re-engage the safety pins before exiting.
