TRY THIS LEG PRESS FOOT POSITIONING!!

[pragyeshshrestha]

You can't "target" hamstrings on this machine in anyway whatsoever. If you want to train hamstrings, you need to do two main movements, one that involves a hip hinge (bending at the hips) and one that involves knee flexion (bending at the knees). Some of the best hip hinge movements are romanian deadlifts and stiff leg deadlifts and for knee flexion, a simple leg curl machine (lying or seated) is perfectly fine.

The hamstrings do activate as a stabilizing muscle but it doesn’t in anyway go through a “work out”. The leg press is for quads and glutes only.

Dangerous working calves that way. Just do standing extensions holding free weights and use a ~3" block for added depth.

For glute no. I did it But hit my lower back and thigh. I think the form is not correct

21 comments and only the **bottom 2** calls out the BS

When your doing a leg press the weight is resisting your legs from straightening. The quadriceps job is to straighten the legs. No matter how you place your feet your quadricep will be the only significant mover of the exercise.

There might be a slight stability demand for other muslces in the leg however they will not be trianed *even close* to the *minimum* intensity required for muscle and strength growth stimulus.

Tldr: No matter how you place your feet it will still only grow your quads

Finally some one whit good advice for the gluteus, it is best to push the device with your legs in the V position with your knees facing outwards, but also we are all different and you have to feel where it hits and adjust it 😊

This is not that helpful guys, she's kinda wrong

[forrestgrivetti]

Adductors/vastus medialis (inner)
Vastus lateralis (outer)

Also for calves if you got the standing calve raise machine I highly recommend that! Thing has had me almost in tears before 😂

If this video is so incorrect. Strongly suggest that ALL those "Expert" wanna be "Commenters" take the initiative and "make their own video" on leg press foot positions... Each One Teach One 🤔

Until someone taps you on the shoulder, are you done yet. Sorry i have 30 more sets. Lol

[SilverSlugs]

Definitely don’t try to target the hams or “outer leg” on these, and the quad foot placement is way too low here. It’s true that lower is more quads but not if you go so low that your heels would come off at proper depth. In general best bet is going to be mid / low, toes slightly out, with whatever stance width allows your knees to be outside your torso, and as deep as possible. This will be best for quads and adductors / inner legs. Higher will get the glutes engaged a bit better but it’s iffy because it’s also more likely to make your pelvis / low back curl up under load which isn’t great on the leg press

Not every gym has a machine large enough to fit 2 baker's shovels.

What is the difference between outer leg and sqaud is the outer leg below the knee

[DamianStefanicki]

Push light weights and go front repeats cause some of them are very dangerous for the back and knees

[ChinChillRs]

Yet there’s no evidence in this video of hitting any of it 😂😂😂😂😂

[Marcos-hfh]

A lot of these you can not target individual muscles 😅 Women please don’t take this advice

[edusantos]

imagine saying this many wrong things in 1 video

[izag]

NOPE n im a trainer n wouldn't recommend this 🤯🤯🤯🤯

[mjhns]

Can you make a full video explaining the different foot positions with the angled leg press machine?
