Perfect Leg Press Set Up

The Perfect Leg Press Checklist. Before you even start tilt that pad as far down as it goes. When it comes to feet height, forget about high placement for hamstrings and low for quads you want maximal range of motion and that happens when the feet are placed on the middle of the platform. Stance width, slightly outside hip-width apart. Also, make sure you grip the handles tight and pull yourself down before starting the lift. Finally, you want to go as deep as possible while keeping your feet and lower back flat on the surface and finish the movement by fully straightening the legs.

Don't fully straighten your legs you'll break your knees don't ever lock out on a leg press

Any tips on how to reach it, so us shorter humans can actually use these machines. 😑😑😑

Never lock out the legs. Keep them slightly bent. Youre welcome 🙏

Fully extending the leg at the finish position can hurt your knees right ? Why should we do that ?

[qasimimtiaz]

do you need to hold handle tight when doing exercise?

[glorytravel]

what about neck and head does it need to rested fully or up like yours confuses?

[realistically]

You don’t have to go all the way deep down. As long as it’s 90 degrees it’s working the muscles

[hsrajpoot]

Hamstrings are never worked in squats or leg presses

Nah u wont to injur your legs dont straighten your s
Legs fully

[Know-nxyo]

bad form! her knees spread out at the bottom. also. you do not let the plate go down as low as possible. that is bad for the hips and lower back. you stop when your knees are bent 90% or slight lower.

You shouldn't go deep when legs are coming towards chest, when bending the legs at maximum we ahould go for 90 degree.
