Leg press - training & exercise execution

The leg press is the perfect piece of equipment for strengthening your entire leg musculature. You should always pay attention to the correct form of the exercise. If you've never trained on a leg press before, it can't hurt to have a fitness trainer or watch an online video explain the procedure to you. Even if assuming the correct posture looks simple, incorrect posture can lead to counterproductive and harmful strain on the joints. Foot position and knee alignment are essential for various exercises. Warm up before training on the leg press and loosen up your leg muscles after training so that the muscles can recover better.

The classic exercises performed on a leg press are leg presses and calf rocks. Leg presses can be performed with a heavy weight. Due to the heavy training, the large thigh muscles are particularly stressed. When performing the exercise, make sure to point your feet slightly outwards so that the pressure is taken off your knees. Now press down slightly on the pressure plate and slowly allow it to come towards you. As soon as an angle of almost 45 degrees is reached between your thigh and lower leg, press the plate back up. Repeat this exercise as often as you like, depending on the intensity and your training plan.

For calf rocks, however, place your feet on the underside of the push plate, also slightly turned outward. Push the platform upwards and then let it return to you until your calves are fully extended. In this position, push the platform back up. Adjust the number of repetitions according to your training plan and goals.
