Leg Press

Leg Press: Begin by sitting in a leg press machine, keeping your back pressed firmly into the padded seat. Place your feet on the footplate at approximately shoulder-width distance. Straighten your legs and unlock the carriage release bars located on the sides of the machine. Slowly lower your legs, bringing your knees into your chest. Without bouncing at the bottom, press the weight up in a controlled fashion, stopping just short of locking out your knees. Contract your quads and then slowly return the weight back to the start position.
