Instructions

1. 1

   Using a leg press machine, sit down on the machine and place your legs on the platform directly in front of you at a less-than-shoulder-width narrow stance with the toes slightly pointed out. Your feet should be around 3 inches or less apart. Tip: Keep your head up at all times and also maintain the back on the pad at all times.

2. 2

   Lower the safety bars holding the weighted platform in place and press the platform all the way up until your legs are fully extended in front of you. Tip: Make sure that you do not lock your knees. Your torso and the legs should make a perfect 90-degree angle. This will be your starting position.

3. 3

   As you inhale, slowly lower the platform until your upper and lower legs make a 90-degree angle.

4. 4

   Pushing mainly with the heels of your feet and using the quadriceps go back to the starting position as you exhale.

5. 5

   Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions and ensure to lock the safety pins properly once you are done. You do not want that platform falling on you fully loaded.
