Single Leg Press

How to do it

1. Sit in the leg press machine with your back flat against the pad and one foot centered on the platform.
2. Keep the resting leg tucked to the side or braced lightly against the frame.
3. Release the safety catches and lower the platform until the working knee approaches 90 degrees.
4. Drive through the heel of the working leg to extend it fully, isolating one quadriceps at a time.
5. Exhale on the press, inhale on the controlled lower, matching pace between both legs.
6. Avoid letting the working knee cave inward as you press.
