KEY POINTS:
Sit into the leg press machine with your back against the backrest and feet up against the platform.
Inhale, brace your abdominals and push the platform away with your heels and forefoot. Your heels should remain flat on the footplate.
While exhaling, extend your legs and keep your head and back flat against the seat pad. Extend with slow control over an explosive movement.
Don’t lock out your knees at the top of the movement, and ensure that your knees are not bowing out or in.
Exhaling, return the footplate to the starting position by gradually bending the knees. Keep the feet and back flat throughout.
Repeat for the required number of reps and sets, taking a 60 sec pause between sets.
