Single Leg Press

Quads Machine

Description

The single-leg leg press is a lower-body exercise that targets the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes while engaging the core for stability. In this variation of the leg press, individuals perform the movement using one leg at a time, pressing the weight upward by extending the leg and then slowly lowering it back down. This exercise helps improve leg strength, muscle imbalances, and overall stability by focusing on one leg at a time.

How To

01 Set the seat, plant one foot centered on the platform, knee at 90 degrees
02 Brace your core and press through the whole foot
03 Extend the knee fully without locking it out
04 Control the descent back to 90 degrees
05 Finish all reps, then switch legs
