Leg Press Machine Lying Tips

  1. Position your feet shoulder-width apart on the footplate to target your quads effectively.
  2. Keep your back firmly pressed against the backrest throughout the exercise to maintain proper form.
  3. Engage your glutes by pushing through your heels and squeezing your buttocks at the top of the movement.
  4. Start with a weight that allows you to perform 10-12 reps with proper form, gradually increasing as you progress.
  5. Control the descent of the weight by lowering it slowly, feeling the tension in your quads and glutes.
  6. Avoid locking your knees at the top of the movement to maintain constant tension on the targeted muscles.
  7. Remember to breathe steadily throughout the exercise, exhaling as you push the weight away from your body.
